Day 12: Rain

While it seems to rain a lot in Oregon, we actually need more or this will be another really dry summer.

One thing I do miss about living in the midwest are thunderstorms - they happen here so infrequently people get a little odd when they hear thunder.

Dean Wareham (from Galaxie 500 & Luna) and Britta Phillips (from Luna, Dean's wife).
Cool vocals over gauzy, dreamy rock. Sort of like a fancier Lee Hazelwood. This their second album (and, IMO, their best) from 2007 produced by Tony Visconti, first vinyl pressing by Wouldn't Waste Records from Denmark. This is a signed copy I got from Dean's site.
Here's a review

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

I’m going to bed early tonight, so I’m posting tomorrow’s theme a little bit earlier than usual.

Day 13: Cleaning

Play an album you like to put on while you’re cleaning.


Anita Baker - Rapture

 

[Dark Star Boogie]

Day 12 - Rain

“And it's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
Or leave it if you dare
And it's just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 12: Rain

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Darklands

'Happy When It Rains'

Look at me enjoying something
It feels like
Feels like
Pain
To my brain

Day 13 - Cleaning

Day 12 - Rain

The Jayhawks - Back Roads and Abandoned Motels

My first thought was their album Rainy Day Music, which I totally love but don't have on vinyl. So I'll go with this one. The Jayhawks have that certain sound that I have trouble describing. Melancholic and pretty, with a bit of 70s nostalgia reminiscent of America and Seals and Crofts.

@Kris are you a fan?

 

[McGlam]

Day 11 - An Oldie but a Goodie

Rolling Stones - Aftermath

The oldest album in my colllcetion that I am aware of- 1966

Day 12- Rain

On this super sunny Saturday morning, this album brings me back to the past very rainy winter in LA.

Julia Jacklin - Crushing

 

[Nee Lewman]

Punch Brothers - Antifogmatic

Day 3: BBQ
A record you'd play at a barbecue

Still catching up. If you come to a barbecue at my place, this WILL be playing. And don't worry: even though I'm vegan I'm excellent at cooking meat.

Lucinda Williams - Lucinda Williams
