Day 26 - love

Diana Ross - Portrait

I was just looking through my to-play pile for a record about love and wondered if this would fit the bill. Looking at the first four song titles (and more to follow), I'm pretty sure it does.

Day 26: “I got faith in you, it’s a razor love that cuts clean through”



jon tabakin - jon tabakin

is this the greatest singular collection of love songs ever put to wax?

“you asked, ‘do you think we dare turn out the light?’

so i said, ‘sure, why not’”

eat your heart out, shakespeare.

Day 26: “I got faith in you, it’s a razor love that cuts clean through” – Play something about love.

I picked this up over a year ago as part of a larger buy, also in that collection was the Blue Lagoon soundtrack, subtitled "A story of Natural Love". I hadn't listened to either one of these yet, but figured it was a good day to spin one of them. I think I made the right choice.

The J. Geils Band ~ Love Stinks

Al Green - Let’s Stay Together

Day 23 - Car
Minutemen - Double Nickels On The Dime

The beginning of the album is a car starting and the runout grooves on each side are locked groove recordings of cars running. Also the title and cover.

I love this record and haven’t seen a copy in the wild, it’s on my shortlist of wants.

Bob Dylan - Rough and Rowdy Ways

Maybe not the most obvious choice but "I've Made Up My Mind to Give Myself to You" is a pretty beautiful love song. This album just keeps growing on me.

I was gonna say the repress that I have should be an affordable way to get it, but then I looked at discogs. Crazy how out of control a lot of the vinyl market has gone in the last few years.

I remember passing on it once when I first got back into collecting several years ago, thinking I’d see it a bunch. Turns out, nope.

Day 26 - Razor love

I had this in my play stack already. Definitely not a conventional album about love, but one nonetheless.

This has one of my all time favorite love songs; I’ll Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know

 

[LeSamourai]

Day 25: “Everybody’s Rockin’, Rockin’ to the dancing beat” – In the late 80’s Neil got sued for making albums that didn’t sound like Neil Young albums. It’s Opposite Day, play something that was a departure for an artist, or something with an unexpected guest appearance.

Angel Olsen - All Mirrors

After several albums perfecting a guitar-based indie rock/folk sound, she went full string-laden widescreen lushness, and I am here for it.

The Rapture - Echoes



Featuring “House of Jealous Lovers,” “I Need Your Love,” and “Love is All”

Not exactly opposite, but a cool unexpected collaboration.
