Day 15: National Lemon Cupcake Day
Play a yellow record (open to interpretation: jacket, record, synesthesia, feeling)
So I had one I was going to play but I might want to use that artist either tomorrow or Thursday, so I'm going to swap it up today. The yellow is fairly obvious when you see the vinyl itself, and it kind of double plays since it's also a song subverting the title advising one to be overly cautious...yellow perhaps. You also can't spell Yellow without it.
Song still hits and until one of you makes us put on an Adam Levine record...
The Lonely Island - YOLO

Precious Wax Drippings - No Go b/w Moore 7”
Precious Wax Drippings – No Go (1990, Yellow, Vinyl)
Another D level indie rock band from Chicago. They had real potential on this 45. An angry Michael Stipe fronting a punk band who just discovered Sonic Youth’s Sister (for those of you who used to read Flipside reviews). Their claim to fame was their drummer Johnny Machine, who later joined Poster Children and also started Tortoise.

Day 14: Decisions, decisions
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
"If I could only grab one record when the apartment was on fire, what record would I grab?"
"I dunno, that Bob Dylan album you spent a zillion dollars on."
(For the record it was only $70 and now it goes for a zillion dollars so who's laughing now.)

Daniele Luppi & Parquet Courts - Milano
Not really a fan of lemon in my dessert, or even of dessert most of the time. But this Italian zabaione sounds nice.

Old story. Told it here multiple times. Won't bore anyone.
This is the first record I ever bought. Got it in 1973 at the ripe old age of 12. I have no idea how it's managed to survive...
Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Mae - The Everglow
I bought this one for my wife and was later able to get it signed. I just happened to get it when it was pressed the first time and prices for it went crazy after that. I didn't even have a TT at the time haha

Day 16 - The First Cut Is The Deepest
My first record was a 45 of "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas my parents bought for me when I was 4-5. Young Turbo really liked the idea of Disco Kung Fu. But sadly, that record is gone. So is "Private Eye" by Hall & Oates, which I also remember specifically requesting.
I think this one started my real journey into vinyl - buying records with my own hard-earned cash. I was pretty much just buying singles at that time. This is what a 12 year old Turbo first spent his allowance money on.
Duran Duran "New Moon On Monday" (1983 Capitol)

John Fahey - The Yellow Princess
I have lots of yellow colored vinyl but fewer with “yellow” in the album title so I decided to go that route plus some American primitivism is a nice way to start up a work day.

Day 16 - The First Cut Is The Deepest
I remember this one. I wandered into RSD randomly in 2012 and decided, on a lark without a table, to buy some goodies that seemed interesting. In addition to Feistodon, Grace Potter, and Tegan and Sara, I ended up with a 7" of Florence and the Machine. Shake it Out on one side and a Weeknd remix of it on the other. Very cool little disc that has now been cleaned.

The first album you added to your collection; the one that started it all
The Beatles - Hey Jude
Purchased in 2005 along with Bruce Springsteen’s The River from Mother Murphy’s headshop in Normal, IL for maybe a combined total of $10. Mainly purchased because my roommate at the time had a cheap all-in-one stereo system in their basement and I thought it would be kinda cool to spin records while we drank beer and played darts...
Turns out I was Right!

Adam And The Ants - Dirk Wears White Sox (Do It Records, 1979 First Pressing)
I dont actually remember the exact first record I picked up, but I'm pretty sure this was one of, if not the first! Have to say that it rarely gets listened to now as my tastes have changed a bit since this. Still a great album though.
