January Challenge - The Music Awakens…

January 1: A New Hope – Play the beginning of an epic journey, aka, a debut album.

The Flashing Lights - Where The Change Is

This was finally pressed to vinyl in 2022, hoping their second record Sweet Release will get done soon. Sloan's Murderrecords has been doing a nice job with some of the reissues they've put out.

January 2: Andor’s Resolve – Play something that embodies resilience, or quiet determination.

Japandroids - Fate & Alcohol

After reading a story about the making of this, shocked that they finally got through and put this out. Didn't think it would happen. Glad to see they are going out on a solid note!

Day 03: The Force Awakens
Play a breakthrough album

Ben Folds Five - Whatever And Ever Amen

This, their sophomore album was the first to chart in the US mainly on the strength of their breakthrough single “Brick” but for me it the the video for “The Battle Of Who Could Care Less” occasionally getting airplay on MTV that put the band on my Radar.

Still waiting on Disney to give the Mos Eisley Cantina Band it’s own 8 episode spinoff series where we learn they were secretly rebel spies integral in the destruction of the Death Star or some shit.
 
January 5: Rise of the Sith – Give me something dark, powerful and menacing.

Still Remains - The Serpent

Mike's been a friend for a long time and whenever I'm looking for something with a fit of rage and crunch, this record enters the fold. Mike's personal touch was on this work more than the others.
