December 2022 Vinyl Spin Challenge: The Intergalactic Mixtape Dance-Off!

For sure... it was expected.

Each GOTG Soundtrack Volume is a whole 60 minute mix and the month has 2.5x worth of those.

It's why I suggested culling some tracks at the end. Makes it easier to share and also might help you smooth out the flow.

Looking at what I have so far, I might make 2. One playlist is more rockin and the other will be more downtempo/chillout
I don't want to cut anything! 🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking of swapping some songs, but maybe @jamieanderson1968 's idea is the way to go.
It's a great challenge, super fun, thinking about the albums and then thinking about tracks and flows!
 
Day 8 – Come And Get Your Love
Hey (hey) what's the matter with you, feel right? Don't you feel right, baby?
Ok, so you’re this really cool adventurer and you’re navigating with finesse and style through an ancient temple filled with traps to get an ancient artifact. Play your soundtrack

Going to Thieve some Treasures from the Temple.

Day 12 – Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough. Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough
to keep me from getting to you, baby.

Play some soul music.

Now I'm going back home
And explain to my wife
Why I was neck deep in gin
And stayed out all night
She don't suspect a thing
Just like my woman that I went to see
I got my bread in North Carolina
And my butter up in Tennessee
Lord knows I'm creeping away
Creeping away
Creeping away
Goin' home to see my baby






Swamp Dogg - Rat On!

I need to get into the Christmas spirit. I like both this and "Soul Christmas"...but I think I like this comp just a little better - as "Who Took The Merry Out Of Christmas?" is one of my favorite Christmas songs, but you really can't go wrong with either.

Love this Al Green record, and Just For Me is my favourite track.

Ha! I just had a flash! I forget his name, but that dude that gave me our ISA training session had this track on repeat while we were doing exercises. I thought he had pretty awesome taste by playing a modern soul track by a legend. I figured out later it was because you gave him the track to play when you took the session a couple weeks before! (I wasn't with you for that session because I took time off for paternity leave.) Anyway, this track reminds me of the first few months at the job.

Whoa... I have no recollection of this :ROFLMAO:

I'm going to go with something contemporary with a classic soul sound. I think the first single "This Life" will flow well from the Todd Rundgren track of yesterday.

Day 11 – O-o-h Child
Ooh child. Things are gonna be easier. Ooh child. Things'll be brighter.
Play something bright, hopeful and/or positive.

Melanie Charles creates a beautiful soundscape on this album of remixed/reimagined Verve classics that'll put a smile on your face for sure. The version of "Beginning to See The Light" w/ Ella Fitzgerald will bridge the synth heavy Glass Animals track from yesterday to whatever the Soul track is next.
