Day 4 – Moonage Daydream
I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for you - Jean Claude Van Glam
Playing catch-up and clearly not understanding how this works...let me explain... This clearly isn't necessary glam rock, wouldn't call this glamorous either.... Here's what happened, I don't have any glam rock in my collection, I was thinking about songs about glamorous things and I thought this record had a song called Glam Rock...I was close...it's actually called "Gram Rock" and has nothing to do with glam or rock... I've committed.... This mixtape is off the rails already!!

Day 6 – I’m Not In Love
I’m not in love, so don’t forget it. It’s just a silly phase I’m going through.
Play an album/artist/genre you were really into for a while. Or from a rabbit hole you dove into for a while.
How about a rabbit hole I (and my wife as she keeps reminding me) totally realize I'm currently in? Plus this brings my playlist into the current century. Hate Dancin' is a surprisingly good transition from Christopher Cross too, you could classify it as Psychedelic Yacht Rock.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard ~ Changes

Poets of Rhythm "Discern/Define" (2001 Ninja Tune; 2021 Daptone reissue)
As I mentioned last month, I dove deep into the funk rabbit hole during the late 90's and early 2000's. One of the modern funk bands I enjoyed and collected was the Poets of Rhythm. They released 45's under a bunch of aliases, probably over 20 different band names, which were collected on the compilations Original Raw Soul Vol. 1-3, all to make it look like long lost recordings from a "discovered" 70's label. This was their bigger label debut, the music being slightly more produced, but still pretty raw with heavy drums. A little funk will also flow well from the Thundercat cut I used yesterday.

Day 5 – Fooled Around And Fell In Love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby - I'm on a boat!!! Or don't rock the yacht?
Seawind "S/T" - more smooth jazz than yacht rock but you can't tell me this wouldn't fit in any yacht rock playlist?!! Went with an instrumental because the singing makes it feel a little more disco-ish so we need to keep to near the water!

What a great tune! And, hilariously the least glam-rock EVER, ha ha ha ha!

Day 6 – I’m Not In Love
I’m not in love, so don’t forget it. It’s just a silly phase I’m going through - bring on the rabbits!!
The Apples "Killing" - a funk cover of Rage Against the Machine... Why not?! I think @Turbo left the funk rabbit hole open because I fell down that as well but really focused on 45's from all sorts of little labels...oh and Daptone, I really fell down that Daptone rabbit hole but I'm not going there because it's still an ongoing concern...A little bonus picture or two of some random 45's (I added a few selections from The Poets of Rhythm
) I picked up during this time, not everything but a nice cross section of all the labels that popped up around the early 2000's that I was obsessed with...

LoL no doubt! I still check out the 45 section when I'm in a record store thinking there might be something I missed 20 years ago just sitting and waiting for me!

Play an album/artist/genre you were really into for a while. Or from a rabbit hole you dove into for a while.
I followed their releases up until Dear Catastrophe Waitress and the my interest fizzled out.
I still love the first 3 albums though
Belle and Sebastian - Tigermilk
I'm adding "Expectations" to the playlist

Play some Yacht Rock, or anything related to fools, sailing or sipping champagne.

The title cut is a Yacht Rock stable.

Elvin Bishop - Let It Flow
Late this Summer I began getting into 1970s Capricorn Records Southern Rock bands. Let It Flow kinda kicked things around gf but I added a few others to my collection as a result.

Sparks - Angst In My Pants
Song: “Angst In My Pants”
I was first introduced to Sparks by a coworker at the record store where I worked, just after Lil’ Beethoven was released and I really enjoyed that album. But knowing how many albums they had released, I resisted pursuing more extensive fandom until last year. I think I bought 12 of their records within a two month span. Their impressive discography makes a very deep rabbit hole. This one is in my top 3 of their records.

V/A - Soul Explosion
Going down the Stax rabbit hole was my real introduction to soul music. I’m a lot more focused on Colemine/Daptone and other modern artists these days, but still a hefty legacy of great music and home to some of my favourite artists (Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Staple Singers…). RIP Jim Stewart.

I should have played that myself - that track would have flowed better on my mix!

So smooooth!
@Potato-Socks always tells me how big of a fan he is of his live album Weekend in L.A. I really should dig into that some time.
