I'm going for sad drunk music, which is a favorite genre and this is one of my top 50 albums. Spinning it in the other room but too lazy to go back in to take a photo, so discogs art it is.

Bonnie Prince Billy - I See A Darkness

I spun this last night and didn't get a pic because of the buzz so I reenacted it.

Day 26: Hooks
Play an album with a hook that you just can’t deny.

Parannoul - After the Magic

This mysterious Korean bedroom shoegaze project just dropped its latest album last week, and the vinyl won't come until later this year. I can definitely say that even though I can't understand anything, it's got all sorts of hooks.

Day 30: Local Record Stores
Please support your local record stores over evil corps and soulless online warehouses. Play something you bought in a record store you love

Surprise Chef "Education & Recreation"
Shout out all my local record stores, Dr. Disc, Into the Abyss, Revolution Records and Flashbacks all wonderful independent shops that have survived a lot, RIP Cheapies Records and Tapes, I always just like going into a record store and just looking around, sometimes I walk out with something, or a lot of somethings, and other times empty handed but it's always cool to just be in that environment! This record when i asked about it the response was, damn, I was actually going to keep that for myself but I guess I can let you have it! When I went to pick it up we chatted about this band and a few other bands like them, really cool to chop it up about music any time you can!

Day 25: Wednesdays

Supergrass never fail to put me in a good mood!
