Day 10: Piano
Fiona Apple - Tidal

Day 11: An Oldie But A Goodie
This isn't the oldest in my collection, but it's the oldest non-Christmas record I could validate.
Mary Wells - Greatest Hits (1964)

Day 13 - Cleaning

Dolly Parton - Bubbling Over

I tend to put on a country record when I'm cleaning the house. And Dolly never disappoints, I just love her.

It sure is a strange cover though.

 

[Matt M]

Damn, I gotta catch back up. Been playing records, but sleeping on this.

Day 7 - 7"

Julien Baker - Red Door b/w Conversation Piece

 

[Matt M]

Day 8 - I don't like Mondays

Explorers Club - Freedom Wind

Thinking of freedom from my job as I applied and made it through the first step of the hiring process. Waiting impatiently for the interview process.

Day 13: Cleaning

I understand that this is blasphemous, but I usually listen to cd's when cleaning - just so I don't stop to flip them over or have to change records.

My usual go-to (being just over an hour of music) is -
Marilyn Manson ‎– Lest We Forget - The Best Of

So I guess I'll spin this -

Braved a Hot Topic for this one...

Marilyn Manson ‎– Antichrist Superstar
Nothing Records/Interscope Records ‎– B0017874-01, 1996/2013

Hot Topic exclusive, limited to 1,500 copies on Red vinyl

Day 12: Rain
I like this album both during a summer rain or a winter rain.
Melody Gardot - My One and Only Thrill

 

[Critter]

Catch-up Day 4: ‘Murica!
A record that’s American/U.S. inspired/U.S. themed



Nailed it.

Day 13: Cleaning
Freddie Hubbard - Straight Life

Pretty much any album makes cleaning better but B1 on this album is Mr. Clean. It is a great jam.

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?

I’ve never listened to them! I’d take a three song recommendation.

Day 13:

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

So similar to yesterday, I’m tired so I decided to reveal tomorrow’s theme a lil early.

Day 14: Soul Sunday

Play a soul record, or a record with soul (if you know what I mean)!


Otis Redding - The Dock of The Bay

Day 14 - Soul Sunday

 

[ranbalam]

I’ve never listened to them! I’d take a three song recommendation.

Tailspin, Save it for a Rainy Day and Gonna Be a Darkness are all really great tracks. As far as a full album listen; Rainy Day Music is my favorite, choosing only two from that was tough.

Day 14: Soul Sunday
Johnny Adams - heart & soul

Love the Tan Canary. If you haven't heard him I highly recommend this compilation. I think this record was my lesson that sealed originals are not always better as it has a pretty bad edge warp. Luckily it is playable.

Hope everyone in New Orleans is safe.

 

[McGlam]

Day 13 - Cleaning

Nothing like a little ELO to get me to do something I don’t wanna.

ELO - Ole ELO

 

[Wes C. Attle]

Day 14: Soul Sunday
Johhny Adams - heart & soul

Love the Tan Canary. If you haven't heard him I highly recommend this compilation. I think this record was my lesson that sealed originals are not always better as it has a pretty bad edge warp. Luckily it is playable.

Hope everyone in New Orleans is safe.

Aw you beat me to it! I picked this up on RSD without knowing much about him and it is so great

That's awesome, I didn't realize ORG did a RSD release of it. How does it sound?

It sounds pretty fantastic. It’s on translucent blue vinyl, too

Day 9 - Triple

How about the Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet 3LP? 437/500. Never got into Stereolab back in the day, but lucky enough to get the limited editions of these reissues.
