A top 5 all-time favorite record of mine. I’ve given this as a gift a few times

I can attest! This was included in my Secret Santa haul a few years back.

Day 12: N&G AotM

I really need to pay more attention to the AOTM threads. Here’s a great pick from @Fillip J Phry tho…

Angelo Badalamenti - Twin Peaks (Original Score)

View attachment 221441

The Mondo/Death Waltz reissue from 2016 featuring different artwork (and a slightly different name) but still the same great score!

Love that my choice is still getting some love! That's the same version I have, along with the Fire Walk With Me pressing they also did around the same time.

Day 10: Gifts II
Share a record that was a wonderful gift that you received.

Harvey Danger - Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?



I’ve received so many amazing records from Santas past. This was in my very first Secret Santa package (along with Ramones and They Might Be Giants) from @Bloodlemons several years ago and I was stunned

As long as you didn't wake up dead, drunk, and naked its all good.

Day 14: The Pain

I don’t know what works for hangovers, but here’s a mellow (tho very melancholy) album…

Billie Holiday with Ray Ellis and his Orchestra - Lady in Satin

 

[ranbalam]

Day 7: Hospitals

Interpret this one as you will.

This was on my list to play this weekend, we finished The Beastie Boys Book on Audible on last weekend's road trip. Ad-Rock called his favorite of their discography which prompted me to spin it again when I had a chance...plus it has Sneakin' Out The Hospital to satisfy the monthly prompt.

Day 8: Family

Play one for your fam.

Me, my wife, my son and his SO have gone to the last two local Modest Mouse concerts together. This is a family band for sure.

Went with Strangers to Ourselves which I have come to like quite a bit.
