Day 12: Rain rain go away come again another day
Explosions in the sky ~ all of a sudden I miss everyone



during the summer I want to be out exploring, cycling or reading in a park , rainy days prevent some of those things from happening , so when stuck at home might as well play one of my favorite bands

That's cool. I've never seen one with a Stones zipper pull. What pressing is that?

Day 12 - Rain

Hiss Golden Messenger - Poor Moon

A great melancholy, laid back vibe start to finish. Perfect to listen to as the day rolls by.

12: Rain

John Martyn - Bless the Weather

English singer-songwriter with very rainy-day vibes, especially on the first song, "Go Easy", and the closer, "Singin' in the Rain."

"Bless the weather that brought you to me
Curse the storm that takes you away"

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 16: AOTY (so far)

We’re over halfway through 2019, so play your favourite record of the year so far! Multiple entries of the same album are allowed for today’s theme.


Kelly Finnigan - The Tales People Tell

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 16: AOTY (so far)

My favorite record of the year was released on vinyl for the first time about a month ago but was recorded two and a half decades ago...

The Black Crowes - The Tall Sessions

 

[LeeVing]

Had to spend some time with a plumber in the house today - the pipes in this house are old and galvanized steel so they are going bad messing with all the valves. We will have to repipe soon.

Then I had to pack as we are headed to Illinois in the morning...and various record stores will be visited. I'll get to tomorrow's theme, but I'll be away till Saturday and will have to catch up - hopefully with some new finds.

Day 15: Saxophones or: New York's All Right If You Like Saxophones

Saxophone - Derf Scratch

Fear ‎– The Record
Slash ‎– 1-23933, 1982/1983

Pressed at Allied

 

[gafacaode]

That's cool. I've never seen one with a Stones zipper pull. What pressing is that?

This is the 2015 reissue

Sticky Fingers

 

[heavysoulbrutha]

Kelly Finnigan's record is probably my fav so far. Just to not repeat @Wicked Dreamer, Lee Fields' "It Rains Love" is most definitely in my Top 5.

 

[Dark Star Boogie]

Day 16 - Record Of The Year (thus far)

I’m still crazy about this record. Still listen to it a few times a week, or at the very least multiple cuts from it.

Shabaka, Danalogue and Betamax churned out quite the adventure of an album. Bookends that perfectly open and close the album and the meat in between is top notch.

This is an album to dream and dance to.
And see them live if they come near.
The energy is outrageously contagious.

Lots of great albums this year, but this one always makes me happy, so I have to acknowledge that. She just doesn’t disappoint ever. Too bad this pressing sounds like garbage.
