February 2025 Spin Challenge

Day 5 - National Weatherperson's Day - Play something that reminds you of some kind of weather.

The George Benson Quartet – It's Uptown


A few different weather patterns in short order on this one, much like how it goes around here sometimes. "Summertime" precedes "A Foggy Day" before "Stormy Weather"

Updated with days 8-14.

Day 6 - National Frozen Yogurt Day - Play something that's a quality substitute for the real thing.

The Weeknd - House of Balloons

This decade collector's edition restored the original samples. There's no nipple on the cover so this version is not exactly like the original mixtape. I'll take that trade.

Day 6: National Frozen Yogurt Day
Play something that's a quality substitute for the real thing.

The High Llamas - Hawaii

It’s the froyo Beach Boys and I mean that as a compliment.

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 6: National Frozen Yogurt Day

Bryson Tiller - TRAPSOUL



If you like the music of Chris Brown & Drake but don’t want to support them at all, Bryson makes for a good substitute imo.

Day 6 - National Frozen Yogurt Day - Play something that's a quality substitute for the real thing.

I couldn't come up with something clever so here is something literal.

U2 - Achtung Baby
Track 2 : Even Better than the Real Thing

Day 6 - National Frozen Yogurt Day - Play something that's a quality substitute for the real thing.

Mick Taylor took over nicely, and is a big part of my favorite Stones era.

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

Day 7 - National Wear Red Day

Etoile de Dakar - Xalis

One of the all-time great (west) African records. Featuring a young Youssou N'Dour.

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 7 - National Wear Red Day - Play a record with a red cover or has red in the title.

Red isn't always literally called 'red' but it's still 100% red. Point in case - strawberry.

Such a great record. Such a great song. Thanks for everything, John...




Wussy - Strawberry

 

[LeeVing]

I didn't forget...just didn't have time to spin anything today. Between work, sleep, Path Of Exile 2, and random family stuff sometimes there just isn't enough time in the day.

Day 7 - National Wear Red Day - Play a record with a red cover, or has red in the title

Sonic Youth "Rather Ripped"
I was first introduced to Sonic Youth by a friend who would play Daydream Nation non stop every time we'd hang out, I eventually when back and listened to all their older albums and kept up with the new stuff to a point. After Washing Machine I just sort of drifted into different music and different bands and eventually through a post on this here board (sorry I can't remember who the poster was) someone really championed the later run of SY so I thought why not check it out? Well I was truly sleeping on those records because I think I like them better than the old stuff and am slowly trying to fill in those holes in my collection. The cover art is also red.

Elvis Presley "From Elvis In Memphis" (1969 RCA; 2003 Speakers Corner)
Not as good as Chris Isaak, but it'll do in a pinch.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 7: National Wear Red Day
Play a record with a red cover, or has red in the title.

Milla Jovovich - The Divine Comedy

Sometimes I don’t read so good. Instead of spinning a record with a a red cover or a red title, I spun a red record.
