Death Cab for Cutie - Thank You For Today
I went for a Death Cab album, because their old label, Barsuk, still puts out their vinyl releases, and has this pooch as its logo!

Day 27 - lucky
Gillian Welch - The Harrow and the Harvest
Lucky as I feel v lucky finally to have some Gillian on vinyl, but lucky particularly because I have in the past slightly run my life by her, successfully asking a girl out in 2002 just because Gillian was upgraded from support act to headliner and that made me feel lucky. Sad, I know...

Smog - A River Ain't Too Much to Love
Some people say you make your own luck. Sure would help my chances if you would ... let me see the colts that will run next year.

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - Soul of a Woman
The first song that popped in my head was Come and Be a Winner so that's what I'm going to go with today. The end of the song really reinforces it haha:
Be a winner just a winner
Be a winner now (Now you're a winner)
Now you're a winner oh baby oh (Now you're a winner)
Now you're a winner oh yeah yes you are (Now you're a winner)
Uh yeah because you got me (Now you're a winner)
Uh yeah because you got me (Now you're a winner)
Um because you got me (Now you're a winner)
(Because you got me) (Now you're a winner)

Kathryn Williams - Dog Leap Stairs
Got a bit confused earlier with the order but I'm caught up now. Brilliant Liverpudlian singer-songwriter.

This is a bit of an odd one. I had ordered this soundtrack on a lark and a prayer as a special order from Bull Moose as an import after all of my usual haunts had nary of a whiff of it. Admittedly it was a foreign film soundtrack so I didn't expect it but the soundtrack was integral to the movie and truly fantastic so I was hoping it may appear. It was an expensive order and likely to never show up. I had resigned myself to actually import it at a huge premium when one day I was browsing the Barnes and Noble shelves and it just...pops out. It turns out it was U.S. Barnes and Noble exclusive. I should've guessed it when I heard it playing on the store audio months ago but never put two and two together. (Import prices have dropped a bit since then but still).
In many ways, it dovetails with the theme. Certainly, Rose-Lynn Harlow wouldn't normally be classified as lucky. You walk into the movie on an aspiring musician going nowhere who does her very best shoot herself in the foot. Yet, her charisma makes you root for her and her family thorough-out. The story presented in the movie really does highlight the effect of luck and how people can perceive it as skill or desire or a matter of being deserving. I genuinely don't want to spoil too much as it was one of my favorite movies of the last few years, but I would recommend seeing it and if nothing else it's a great reminder of the understated influence individuals can have on each other's path even if that individual doesn't see it.
Anyway, soundtrack wise, I strongly recommend anyone who likes the Americana/Country legends and strong female singers check this out immediately. Most of the soundtrack is Jessie Buckley singing absolute classics and creating absolute gems of covers. Two of the more notable tracks on there not from that universe is Country Girl, a tone-setting and rivering cover of Primal Scream's version of the song (the original is a jam too). The other is Glasgow, an original written for the movie which should have been nominated and in my view won the Oscar for original song - a pitch perfect moment song highlighting her voice and the journey in the movie.
I'm super happy to bust out the Wild Rose Official Motion Picture Soundtrack today.

Day 27 - Lucky
When you find an album you had been looking for, that's always pretty lucky, especially when the proprietor says 'I just put that out 15 minutes ago, you were lucky to stop in when you did.' Now if I could only get so lucky with Bone Machine.
Tom Waits - Frank's Wild Years

This is an album I feel incredibly lucky to have considering how quickly this sold out and how much it’s going for now.

BenFolds - Rockin’ the Suburbs
Ben Folds’ debut solo album is just fantastic, and it features one of my all time favorite album closing tracks “The Luckiest”
I'm sorry I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong,
That I know
That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest.

Inanimate objects don't make me feel lucky.
But I do feel lucky to be married to the woman that bought me this box set. She still won't tell me how she knew it about it. I don't remember telling her anything about it, but I could have. I know it was too much for me at the time, and was really pissed there wasn't a cheaper version released.
This thing is a beast and a bitch to get out and play. I usually only do it once a year, maybe twice at the most. Streaming has made listening to it much easier. I also have the 96k digital audio on my computer, too.

The movie was ok...I didn't like it as much as I really like the original trilogy, but I still would have liked them to make the whole trilogy. More David Fincher movies is never a bad thing.

Day 28: Red Red Wine
There's always some red wine in vampire movies....I assume there's some in this movie, too.
I do like this soundtrack and would love to get an official release of the original Jonathan Davis vocals, although in most of the tracks you can still hear his vocal track in the mix.
Oh...and I hate wine. Even this movie/soundtrack won't make me drink it.

Nick Grant - Return of the Cool
A wine glass on the cover (I think?haha) and some late night smooth hip hop that perfectly pairs with wine.
