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

The album deserves so much better!

I've never listened on vinyl so I can't speak to any pressings, but I'd hope there's gotta be a good one out there somewhere - or it's something that can happen. Would be a damn shame otherwise!
Completely agree. I have a decent copy…
But it deserves a quality reissue.
 
Day 20 – Come A Little Bit Closer
Then the music stopped, when I looked the café was empty. Then I heard José say "Man, you know you're in trouble plenty".
Press play and restart the music in the café. Play something you’d hear in whatever type of café you’d be in.

Makaya McCraven - In These Times

I guess it needs to be a cafe with cool modern jazz playing.

Day 21 – Wham Bang Sham-A-Lang
We've got a wham, bam shang-a-lang, and a sha-la-la-la-la-la babe.
Play something with an onomatopoeia.

Laura Stevenson - Cocksure

Opens with "Out With a Whimper." Whimper is one of those words that started as onomatopoeia hundreds of years ago even though now we don't really think of it that way.

Nice, I just streamed this for the first time the other day after watching his KEXP performance. I might have to get a copy of this.

Binky Griptite "World of Love b/w Stone Cold Christmas" - nothing like kicking off this festive day with a Christmas ballad followed some uptempo x-mas...it's rather cold and windy outside and I'm not looking forward to all the last minute running around I need to do so I'll go with the uptempo joint and a strong coffee!!

Oh what the hell it's only 2 songs!

"When Chanukah Comes To Town" is one of my favourite festive songs for any holiday!

I can't seem to find a 'Christmas' song on any of my cds so trying something different.

UK DJ John Peel used to do his Festive 50 each year. What he thought were the 50 best songs of that year. Tricky made #22 in 1995 with Black Steel.

What What! Happy 7th night of CHANUKAH! My family's celebrating with this jem: "Latkes And Hamentashen" by Jackie Cytrynbaum and Fran Avni. I'm putting the track "Antiochus" on my mix, mostly because my wife said it freaked her out when she was a kid; Mu ha ha ha!
