Day 8 - OOH, PRETTY: Your favorite variant/color vinyl
Taking Back Sunday - Tidal Wave
I've always loved the colors of this variant and how well it goes with the album cover.

SORRY FOR THE WAIT
An artist you wish would release new music
Ty usually pumps out 3 or 4 records annually. We haven't had a record from him in 2020. That's like a 5 year gap in normal artist years. Can someone check on him?
Ty Segall & Freedom Band - Freedom's Goblin
Neil fans - here's your modern day Down By The River...

He did do that Wasted Shirt album with Brian Chippendale, but yeah, I'm ready for another solo project too!

I didn't love Strangers either but in revisiting it, there are four or five tracks that are pretty great. And yeah, I bought the 25 dollar triangular RSD MM release, I did spin it once at least.

I've used this one before, but it remains my favorite. The feather effect on this thing is gorgeous.

Day 7: Sorry for the wait
Black Walls - Communion
This, from 2014, isn't so much a long wait as it is he's retired from music and this is probably the last music he'll ever release.

Day 8 - Ooh, Pretty
I rarely care for variants and often go for black for economical and audio quality reasons. I am especially averse to solid colors although I can appreciate clear colors. I have very few spatters but the latest Tortoise TNT AOTM is definitely one that I actually really like. Far too often the colors on clear records mute when placed on a black mat but these actually enhance. The label appears to float over the disc.

This one fits the artwork perfectly. Actually pretty similar to what @Yer Ol' Uncle D posted.

Oooh, nice! I got the purple, because that variant had sold out already. Such a great album, too.
day 8 - ooh, pretty
phish - hoist
i’ve done enough of these challenges now where it’s getting harder to find things to play for topics like this one that i haven’t already used, so i’m having to dig a bit deeper to pick out records to highlight. i’m not a huge fan of creamsicle-like color palettes, but this does look nice under the light.

Spoon - Gimme Fiction
Shout out to @LeSamourai for the album! To me, Spoon is a staple of modern rock, and any release by them is always appreciated. Last album was Hot Thoughts back in 2017.

Slow Crush - Aurora
I have prettier colored records, but I am quite partial to the color combination of this one- the green practically glows.
