August 2021 Vinyl Spin Challenge Thread: Summer Loving

21st August - Sweet! World Honey Bee Day!
Bees keep the world running so the more flowers the better. Play an album with flowers in the title, theme, or artwork.

Caribou - Swim

Floral cover... just a bit abstract and chopped up, like the music within.

June Tyson - Saturnian Queen of the Sun Ra Arkestra

I was hoping my copy of Spaceways would arrive in time for this prompt yesterday, but it didn't. And I fell asleep on the couch before I could play this one in it's stead! June Tyson will always be the embodiment of space joy to me
 
22nd August - Wu-Tang Forever!
Today is GZA’s 55th birthday. Play a hip-hop album to commemorate the day

Biz Markie - Biz’s Baddest Beats

I once had a roommate who was a DJ who never paid his rent and one day just moved out without notice but for some crazy reason left behind a lot of his records (maybe as a way to pay back what he owed). This was one of them
 
20th August - Space, The Final Frontier.
Voyager 2 launched on this day in 1977 carrying with it the ‘Golden Record’. Play a space-themed album.

Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions

Not really space themed, but the title reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Plus, this album would also make a great soundtrack to being sucked into a black hole.
