Welp, show cancelled for tonight and moved to Sunday. Unfortunately flying out of town that morning. Annoying. And won't get to Bozeman in time for Kishi Bashi that day either.
 
Day 15 - Annoy Squidward Day - Play something that would annoy your best friend/spouse.

My wife is my best friend, but she enjoys some alone time when The Captain comes to call.

His deconstruction of the blues was lost on purists of that genre, his multi-music amalgam of free form jazz was above the head of most rock fans and the jazzheads wrote him off as a rock music weirdo. And you know what - they all missed out.

Love this footage. Watch this and tell me Jack Black isn't the perfect fit for a Don Van Vliet biopic...

Modest Mouse "The Lonesome Crowded West"
My wife puts up with a lot of my musical choices but she's never been a fan of the yelping vocal parts or bursts of noise so she's not a Modest Mouse fan!
 
Day 13 - Galentine's Day - Play a fantastic female artist, preferably in a band with multiple ladies.

Catching up...

Power Trip - Nightmare Logic

My SO was a music major (classically trained clarinetist) in college and we first bonded over our love of music as such she is very open-minded when it comes to music of all genres. That being said Thrash Metal is not her jam. I did wait until she left for work to spin this. Though if I had she likely wouldn’t have said anything, she’s a champ like that and very tolerant of most my bullshit.

Besides the obvious, when I took the kids to see this in the theater when it first came out I distinctly remember Mrs. ImTheOcean gladly bowing out. Spongebob is not her jam. And hearing the kids sing the Goofy Goober Song for weeks / years after definitely tried her patience.

Day 14 - Valentine's Day - Play something your spouse/crush likes.

My wife really isn't into music all that much. She tolerates some of what I listen to, but not a lot.

And since I don't have Disney movie soundtracks or Broadway shows like the Hamilton soundtrack, my options are really slim.

I'm good to some extent to "classic rock" in the car...but nothing too loud or fast. The only release I can think of that we both like and own is this - she had the soundtrack on CD - and then I picked up this pressing when it released.
