February 2021 Challenge (& Raffle)

Day 14: Valentine’s Day

While titled "Valentine's Day" - it's not really a love song or anti-love song, but rather a song about gun control and mental illness. Refering to this shooting on Valentine's Day - Northern Illinois University shooting - Wikipedia

But I'm just going with it because of the on the nose title.

Teenage Fanclub - Songs From Northern Britain



One of my top five albums of all time. I always thought “Your Love Is The Place Where I Come From” would be a pretty nice thing to say to someone.

Sun 14 – Valentine’s Day

Moses Sumney — Aromanticism



No hard feelings, just fairly apathetic this year. S/o to “Make out in My Car”, cuz that’s the vibe I’m into.

Sun 14 – Valentine’s Day
Play the most romantic/anti-romantic album you have.

Can an album be both? I think this one can.

A record that's just as much about heartache as it is about falling in love with your independence.

Lilly Hiatt - Trinity Lane

Day 14: Valentine’s Day
Play the most romantic/anti-romantic album you have (delete according to mood).
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Boatman’s Call

Nick Cave, some flowers, maybe a box of chocolates; what more do Valentines need?

Play the most romantic/anti-romantic album you have

Maybe the not the most original selection, but Here, There and Everywhere was the song my bandmates played as my wife walked down the aisle...if it wasn't already my favorite love song, that day solidified it. But this album also features one of the saddest heartbreak songs too; For No One.

Avett Brothers - Emotionalism

Ballad of Love and Hate

Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door
Weary head hung down, eyes to the floor
He says, "Love, I'm sorry, " and she says, "What for?
I'm yours and that's it, whatever
I should not have been gone for so long
I'm yours and that's it, forever
Your mine and that's it, forever"

Spin something by the artist you would most have liked to see live but haven’t.

If only I had used the chance to see Amy Winehouse on her only tour in Germany in 2007. She also had a single gig in Berlin before in 2004, but I didn't know her by then.

Such a great artist and what wonderful records. RIP

Amy Winehouse "Frank"

Michael Jackson - Off the Wall

Would have loved to see the King of Pop doing his thing live!

Neil Young - After the Gold Rush

There are so many artists I need to see live ASAP. Neil Young is probably at the top of the list for me and my wife.

Sat 13 – Strawberry Fields Forever

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

Surprised nobody played this (I don't think). "Like a Rolling Stone" has gotta be one of the best and most influential singles in rock history, not least because of its runtime.

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Sun 14 – Valentine’s Day

Sam Beam and Jesca Hoop - Love Letter for Fire

Not sure if this is the most romantic album I own, but it's two beautiful voices singing a lot of very sweet songs to each other, anyway.

The Band - Stage Fright

A toss-up between The Clash and The Band for today's challenge. Although if I could be picky, I wouldn't choose to see The Band during this era. Either a year or two earlier or five or six years later would be ideal. Maybe Jimi Hendrix, too, though I don't own any of his records yet.
