17 - CHOAM: This corporation/cartel controls the economy of the universe. Play something from a major label.

Universal Music Group owns hundreds of others, many of whom would be considered major labels in their own right. They also have over 30% market share. This album is on Motown, one of the many subsidiary labels of UMG. And if the thumpers used beats like these, I think the sandworms would be way more chill.

Erykah Badu ~ Baduizm

The Meat Puppets - Forbidden Places

The early 90s were a strange time. Even prior to Nevermind dropping and creating a Alt Rock signing frenzy bands like Sonic Youth and The Meat Puppets were already dropping albums on major labels.

It kind of looks like that candle melted onto your turntable. Pretty spot on variant.

Day 18

Tony Sly - 12 Song Program

(No Use For a Name)



This place is great (and dangerous). So much musical knowledge. There is no way I would have come upon this myself. However, @scotthilk featured it as an N&G ROTM and I love it.

R.E.M. "Up" (2023 Craft Recordings; 1998 Warner)
R.E.M. day! Craft is owned by Concord, who is owned by Universal. This is all confusing because it was originally released by Warner. And then the Discogs says "published by Sony". I'm not sure what is going on here, but one of the big 3 definitely released this. Maybe all of them? It's a conspiracy!

19 - Mentats: These humans have been trained to do great calculations in their minds. Play an artist you consider a genius.

Quincy Jones - Back on the Block

One of his more underrated albums IMO.
