Thanks for organizing the month @Poly-Rythmo ! Good fun.

Here's my Topsters calendar for February:

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

Sun 28 – Shortest month

James Blackshaw - Holly

This is technically an EP but I've never really thought of it as one. One long song per side, and my introduction to one of my favourite guitarists, this is a really beautiful piece of music.



Thanks for hosting this month, @Poly-Rythmo! And everyone else for playing along. Always enjoy seeing what people are spinning and reading their stories.

Day 28 - Short month, short record

The Beach Boys - Wild Honey

Coming in at 23:58, this is a really short long player.

Thanks for running the Feb challenge @Poly-Rythmo !

I would do a Topsters collage for the month but it couldn’t find two of my first four, so I gave up.

Day 28: Shortest month
Play your shortest album (in terms of number of songs, total playing time, length of one song, whatever).
Fugazi - 7 Songs
I just got this and it clocks in at a svelte 23:06 and yeah it’s just an EP but it’s also rips and like I said, I just got it and wanted an excuse to give it a spin.

Wed 24 – Physical Graffiti
Led Zeppelin released one of my most prized albums 55 years ago today. Play something by them (or some other classic rock).

As all the 4 Led Zeppelin albums I have are already played, I take "Baggers banquet", the classic Rolling Stones album.

And this is a picture of me with the won t- shirt from the January challenge. It looks great. Thanks again so much to @imtheocean for sending this out to me in Germany, very much appreciated. The Casbah is a great small music club in San Diego.

Awesome! Glad it arrived safely!

Day 27 – Sommerferie
February is renowned for being dark and cold, so it’s important to dream. Play the sunniest album you have.

It's nice and sunny at the beach right? It certainly is here today. And the tour for this album was celebratory, one of the best I've seen.

Gorillaz ~ Plastic Beach

 

[Bluecloud777]

Sun 28 – Shortest month
Play your shortest album (in terms of number of songs, total playing time, length of one song, whatever)

This technically might be an EP, but each of the 6 songs is so good that it feels like a full album.

Lizzo "Coconut oil"

 

[ModernCyrus]

Sat 27 – Sommerferie

Janelle Monáe — Dirty Computer

Day 28: Shortest Month

Going with "Is it over already?" as my definition of shortest. This is one of those albums that ends way too quick. A great recording of an intimate performance. I'd love an expanded version with the full show, I find myself flipping back to side A when it ends.

Band of Horses ~ Acoustic at the Ryman

 

[imtheocean]

Thanks for great month @Poly-Rythmo ! See everyone in March!

 

[Bluecloud777]

I'm looking forward to the next month.

March 2021 Challenge Thread

Almost every day has some official or odd holiday attached to it - I'm including some here if I could find something that could fit with them - some were a bit much to attempt to link to an album. Some other days are a greatest hits of my past challenges. The "rules" This isn't a contest or...

Sun 28 – Shortest month
Play your shortest album (in terms of number of songs, total playing time, length of one song, whatever)

Ann Peebles - I Can't Stand the Rain

I think this is the shortest album I have, after excluding EPs, clocking in at under 28 minutes.

And, a big thanks to @Poly-Rythmo !!!

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Day 28 - Shortest Album



Earthless - From the Ages

This is only a 4 song album, theres no way it can be that long!!

Oh... nevermind then

 

[D Jilla]

Day 28 - Shortest month

This seems to make it into every monthly challenge for me. It’s 15 minutes long - each song abruptly stops after one minute. It’s kind of equally maddening and amazing how well it actually works.
