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

[Joe Mac]

Wow @Turbo ! This challenge was a blast! Adding a meta level to it by trying to create a 31 track mixtape. It’s been fun especially since making mixes is one of my favorite activities. Great job!

I’m excited to see what @Joe Mac has in store for us to kick off 2023.

Haha! I’d forgotten and I’m about to get on a plane. Will get onto it when I’m home later tonight…

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Here is my 31 track mixtape…

*Please Note: Jim O’Rourke’s Drag City albums are missing from Spotify, as a replacement I added O’Rourke’s cover of the Spice Girls classic, “Viva Forever” as a worthy replacement.

Day 30 – Holding Out For A Hero
I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light. He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon, and he's gotta be larger than life.
Play your favorite album of 2022..wait did it actually have to come out in 2022 or just released/reissued or like I finally bought it in 2022?

Beach House "Once Twice Melody" - I feel like I bought a lot of records this year but most of them were not made in 2022...I love Beach House and this album checks all the Beach House boxes so it's a win in my book! Probably wouldn't have picked up the deluxe version if it wasn't such a good price and because my wife also loves Beach House I can totally get away with it so there's also that.... Going to try my best to finish the month out but company is coming and the playlist today is more Christmas than Intergalactic Mixtape...

Day 31 – The Final Countdown
It's the final countdown, the final countdown. The final countdown (final countdown). (Oh) Oh.
To close out the year, play an album with a track that you feel is a great mixtape/playlist closer.

Let's close out this mixtape with some Dan Reeder. A beautiful little song aptly titled Beautiful..

I eliminated the Xmas tunes and a couple others...so this baby comes in at 91 minutes.

Thanks for a fun month @Turbo !!

Edit: Hmm. Something happened with the link I tried to post. I'll try again...

Edited edit: Never mind, all good!

Just saw this at an arcade. Made me think of the spin challenge.

Are you at House of Targ? If so, can you get me one of their T-shirts (XL) and I'll pay you back?

EDIT: this one... it's awesome

Same... I love making mixes. And I often try to limit myself to 90 minutes for old times sake. But they're usually for an audience of 1, LOL.

Thanks for the kind words!

Day 24 – Flash Light
You're getting me, getting me through the night. 'Cause you're my flashlight (flashlight). You're my flashlight (flashlight). You're my flashlight.
Play something festive!

Gonna try and catch up after having a couple days out of town and a tube out that I've now replaced.

I love this dub-ish Christmas bonus record. The main record is solid too.

The Sounding Joy: Hiss Golden Messenger meets Revelators on South Robinson Street

Yours is the first mix I'm going through... up to the Marley and it's absolute fire so far. I may copy it for my Tidal

Having the track on Apple Music was a bit sometimes. There were 3 or 4 cds I wanted to play but it was not available to stream. But @Turbo ended us off with a bang. Now I am going to grab a nap.

Wait... what did I do now?

Here's my playlist on Apple Music for those who don't have Spotify.

I'm going to listen to the playlists posted while I cook tonight's big meal.

Edit: hummmmm, the link doesn't seem to be working...

Thanks for hosting @Turbo!
Happy New Year y'all!!!

Road to nowhere is the final track on my playlist, I think it turned out ok (though it went a minute over)

Talking Heads - Little Creatutes

Takes some balls to go from Tennis and Belle & Sebastian into The Prodigy and Jane's Addiction and then into classic R&B and dub reggae. And the twists and turns keep coming! That Otto track after Madvillain! Genius. I fully approve. This is how my mind works too!

Day 25 – Guardians Inferno
Zardu Hasselfrau, Zardu Hasselfrau, hey.
I declare that Christmas is David Hasselhoff day this year! Play something somehow related to David Hasselhoff. Or play whatever you want. Anything goes.

I have way too much in the to listen pile, and just was gifted this for my 50th birthday this last Monday.

Frightened Rabbit - EP

Day 26 – Everybody Have Fun Tonight
Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight.
Play something to Wang Chung to.

Oingo Boingo - Only A Lad

 

[Potato-Socks]

Day 30 – Holding Out For A Hero
Play your favorite album of 2022.

I love MonoNeon's 2022 album "Put on Earth for You". And I especially love the track "All Hands on Deck (Break Yo Neck)" because it features Declaime (who used to be called Dudley Perkins).

I'm SUPER HAPPY to close this mixtape with Low Rawl's "Groovy People" from his album "All Things In Time".

You know the game, and we’re gonna play it.
Play something popular that you never tire of hearing.
