Day 12: “Live Music is Better, bumper stickers should be issued” – Play a live album

R.E.M. "Songs for a green world"

This is an old bootleg I have of their 1989 "Green" tour gig at Orlando.
I was able to see them 3 times in my life. In 2008 in Würzburg for an open-air, in 2005 in Oberhausen in a hall and 2001 in front of the Cologne Cathedral, which was a gig without admission fees. All concerts have been incredible. ❤️

St. Vincent - St. Vincent

Wiki tells me she played the penultimate benefit show in 2015.
She did- and I will say she is much better electric than acoustic. The arrangements/instrumentation was odd.

Day 13: “I need a unit to sample and hold” – Play something with a sample, or was sampled.

Caribou - Suddenly

Contains a plethora of samples, including one of Gloria Barnes' "Home."
There is an excellent episode of the Song Exploder Podcast that focused on this particular track.
