Gadzooks! Its the December Vinyl Spin Challenge Thread!

12/18 - Beavis and Butthead Do Christmas / South Park Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo: “Well Brian, if you want poop for Christmas, Santa Butthead would be happy to come by and take a dump under your tree”. Play one of the albums that is worth the least in your collection. Howdy ho, and lets see those gems!
I'll be away from home until January, but I'll try to keep playing by streaming albums from my collection.

12/19 - The Grinch: Play something that makes your heart grow three sizes.

Probably my favorite Stones album. Always a great listen.
🎶May the good Lord shine a light on you
Yeah, make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you, yeah
Warm like the evening sun🎶
The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
 
12/20 - A Christmas Carol: The 1951 version of a Christmas Carol is widely considered the best adaptation. As this is the third version of this to show up on this list, play a Ghost of Christmas Future by someone you are looking forward to a future release from.

Playing this Bowie/Jagger collaboration that's on RE: Call 4 from the Loving the Alien box.
Hopefully box 6 will come out next year!

And this version never gets old!

lol, “Rocks Off” has an explicit tag on Spotify but “Sweet Virginia” doesn’t?

Edit: I don’t think I ever realized there’s an f-bomb in “Rocks Off.”
 
12/21 - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Sam the Snowman was famously voiced by Burl Ives, who was jailed in the early 1930’s for singing “Foggy Dew”, which the authorities considered “bawdy”. Play something bawdy in solidarity with Burl.

Star Star has some pretty bawdy lyrics.

The Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup

Probably played this one tonight...

12/22 - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Rudolph is the titular hero of this special. Expelled from the reindeer games (and the North Pole) due to his unique nose, he returns in triumph when he’s most needed. Play something that represents a late career return to form.


The Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds

I don't think I've ever done a "official" tier list of Talking Heads, but I would think I would rate their last album a bit higher than most people would.

Talking Heads – Naked
Sire – R1 25654, 1988/2023

Cut by Joe Nino-Hernes at Sterling Sound

And such a beautiful portrait.

Much like Rudolph, you can never count Neil out.

Everything But The Girl "Fuse" (2023 Buzzin Fly Records)
Just about an audiophile pressing, includes my most played song of 2023... listen up, Tracy has something new to say.

12/14 – A Christmas Story: Ralphie’s mom was so offended by the Leg Lamp / Major Award and what the neighbors would think that she ‘accidentally’ broke it. Play a record you suspect that your friends / family would ‘accidentally’ break, given the chance.

Middle Kids - Lost Friends

I had to reinterpret this prompt because my wife couldn't think of anything she would want to break accidentally on purpose, so I'm doing one that she might break accidentally since she loves it, so hypothetically the album could get damaged while she's putting it on?

12/15 - My Little Pony – Hearth’s Warming Eve: This holiday episode focuses on the history of Equestria, and to quote @duke86fan is about “people not being assholes to one another and racial equality”. Play something designed to bring people together, or something about horses.

The Avalanches - Since I Left You

Breezy and crowd-pleasing music with a sample that sounds like a neighing horse in several tracks.
