Day 31 - New Moon
{Twofer} Give a new (to you) record a first spin OR play something about the moon.

Duran Duran "Seven And The Ragged Tiger" (1983 Capitol; EMI Japan pressing)
I can't think of anything more appropriate to spin for this theme about the new moon, on this fine Monday morning.

Thanks for hosting @avecigrec ! Great themes! Several difficult ones for me, but good challenges.

Here's what your challenge month looked like for me:



Missing on day 28: Neil Swainson Quintet "49th Parallel".
Also, wrong album covers for VA "Abreast Of Soul" and VA "Big Lebowski OST".
To my surprise, my entrance theme 45 "Funky Sex Machine" was available. I appreciate their priorities.

מזמור - Yhod: Live at Roadburn 2018


A fresh pick-up for me that I was able to get for $5.

Day 30: “Fuck it – let's go do it.”
On this day in 1969 The Beatles performed their rooftop concert at the Apple Corps headquarters. It was the final public performance of their career. Play an artist’s final performance or final album.

Pavement - Terror Twilight

Pavement had one of the most perfect career discographies of any band. IMO they were 5/5 in releasing albums and while I would be happy to purchase a reunion album if they ever decided to release new material I am quite content with the band going out on a high note.

Day 31: New Moon
Play something about the moon.

The Men - New Moon

The Men are a band that I absolutely love that feels like has just been doing their own thing for the past 15 years. They went from a band that was heavily influenced by early Sonic Youth and No Wave 80s underground to a band heavily influenced by Neil Young and everything in between. New Moon is a great name for this album because it’s a transitional record. Their Americana/Classic Rock influences start to take over the album in a way that had only been hinted at on their previous album, Open Your Heart and while this transition is a bit surprising it’s no less brilliant.

It’s been quite a month to kick off 2022 @avecigrec . A big thanks to you for putting this whole thing together. I really enjoyed it.

Finishing this month off with a new (to me) record that @debar22 sent me as part of the drawing for the December challenge. Was waiting for today to open/play it. Great upgrade to my thrift store copy!

Thanks for running this month @avecigrec , some great prompts!

Johnny Cash ~ At Folsom Prison (VMP Edition)

Day 30 - “Fuck it – let's go do it.”

Had something else qued up for today’s theme, but I’m feeling this today. Claudia Thompson’s first and final album. The music is hitting just right on this rainy and dreary day.

Day 31 - New Moon
MC Solaar ‎– Qui Sème Le Vent Récolte Le Tempo


Traded in some stuff at my local this morning and wound up with the opposite of moon!

First spin of this fantastic record. I didn’t realize this was a “twofer” until right before posting.

I very nearly picked this one up today, but decided I needed to remedy my lack of MC Solaar first!

Understandable haha. Well if you ever get around to picking it up, I’m sure you won’t regret it. It’s a gorgeous pressing and I’m very much enjoying it.

Jackie McLean - Destination… Out! (BN Classics reissue)

Finally got around to cleaning and giving a first spin. I have actually been streaming it a few times this week and love it. But the vinyl coming out of my big speakers sounds amazing. Thanks for a great challenge @avecigrec

 

[Hemotep]

I always forget what day of the month it is, despite knowing there's no more than 31 days in any month it still didn't register this morning. It's been fun @avecigrec! Had to do some digging this month and learned a few things along the way. Great challenges!

Day 31 - New Moon

New pickup - one of my favorite albums of 2021, freshly acquired at 50% off from the Rough Trade sale.



I would call it an experimental dream pop album, but it’s hard to classify, as the poor soul who filled out the Discogs entry seemed to learn:

 

[Wes C. Attle]

Day 26 - “They called me Eddie”

T. Rex - Electric Warrior
