Day 22: White Christmas - Play a white album (open to interpretation: jacket, record, synesthesia, feeling)

Pentatonix - A Pentatonix Christmas Deluxe

Again, going for the obvious here, what represents a white Christmas more than...a white Christmas album!haha This has become one of my favorite Christmas albums and it gets a lot of spins each year!

 
Day 23: Festivus!

Gwar should give a shit, but don't give a fuck.

These lyrics appear on the first verse of The Salaminizer on the album Scumdogs of the Universe. This first verse is inspired by / parodies NWA's song "Gangsta, Gangsta"

Gwar ‎– Ragnarök
Metal Blade Records ‎– 3984-25089-1, 1995/2018

Day 23 - Festivus!

I'm back in a place where i have records and a turntable, so I'm back on the N&G's challenges too!

Decided to steal one from the @Yer Ol' Uncle D's playbook and playing some Clash today. Just realised that my copy skips on the beginning of London Calling. Hoping cleaning it will solve it

Gave no shits and paid dearly for it. But still gave no shits after.

I'm sure you already know this, but according to legend, Fela did give a shit that one time, but it was someone else's.

Expensive ****, a treatise on Fela's brand of humor

It is this smile with which Fela composed his music and developed a character that, many years after his death, will continue to be celebrated for its strength.

Ha! I definitely should have thought of that.
 
Day 21: Winter Solstice
Play a record that epitomizes winter

MONO - Hymn to the Immortal Wind

The album has a bunch of covers you can swap out, but this one is definitely the winteriest of them all to go along with the icy blue of the vinyl. Add to that the overall vibe of the album and song titles like "Ashes in the Snow" and "Pure as Snow (Trails of the Winter Storm)."
