Day 1 - New Beginnings

Aeon Station - Observatory

I feel this category perfectly describes this album, Kevin Whelan of the Wrens releasing his music under a new project, Aeon Station. Love this album.

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 2 - Nude Belongings
On this day in 1969 New Jersey police confiscated a shipment of John and Yoko’s Two Virgins album as pornographic. Play something that features nudity on the cover.

An homage by the J Mascis side project Sweet Apple...

Day 2 - Nude Belongings

Drive-By Truckers - The Fine Print

A great piece of work by Wes Freed, this cover features subtle and subdued nudity. Great collection of odds and ends from one of my favorite bands.

Day 3 - Tolkienism
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on this day in 1892. Play something inspired by Middle Earth.

I'll leave the low hanging fruit and go with this one inspired by name only.

Ric Lee isn't well known but he's a bad man. His timing, precision and dynamics on a tiny kit are top shelf.

I'll bet @ranbalam will dig this one...




Ten Years After - Recorded Live

Day 3 - Tolkienism

i have nothing so I just went with this for the album title as there would have been a few of them right!!, clutching at straws I know but I'll make up for it later in the challenge I promise

Day 3 -Tolkeinism

Weyes Blood - Front Seat to (Middle) Earth
Sort of looks like a hobbit setting…

Definitely had to Google this one. Nice record for the last morning of my vacation.

Joni Mitchell - Clouds (I Think I Understand references Wilderland)

Day 3 - Tolkeinism

On the nose, sure, but what better chance will I have to play this? Instrumental prog/psych from Swedish artist Bo Hansson.

Day 3 - Tolkienism

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath



I’ve never read or seen any of the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit (save it, I’ve already had a friend declare this to be “a fatal flaw in my character) so pardon me as I Google this one. “The Wizard” is apparently influenced by Tolkien’s work.

Day 3 - Tolkienism

The Mountain Goats - In League With Dragons

This one's a step removed- it's inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, which was so obviously inspired by Tolkien that his estate actually sued the game creators back in the day and changes had to be made to the game.

The Flaming Lips "At War With The Mystics" (2006 Warner Brothers)
Zeppelin was already taken and I don't have the usual suspects so I'll go with this. Album features a war and wizards. Space wizards, but who's counting? Sure, this pays homage to Pink Floyd and The Wizard of Oz more than anything. But, wizards, right?

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

I hope to get caught up tomorrow. I am excited about Tolkien. I have a New Age record from a band named after Gandolf’s horse so I’m set for this one.

Cause JRR said so


Bombadil - All That The Rain Promises

I hope to get caught up tomorrow. I am excited about Tolkien. I have a New Age record from a band named after Gandolf’s horse so I all all set for this one.

Till someone scoops you.

Day 3 - Tolkienism
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on this day in 1892. Play something inspired by Middle Earth.

I feel like there has to be a Jolkien Rolkien Rolkien Tolkien inspired song/album in my collection but I've been searching and can't find anything definitive. So I'm doing a little stretch with this one.

High Reeper - S/T

The opening track Die Slow is about magic and fire and death and weed. Which all seem like things Tolkien would approve of in a story.
