July 2020 Record Challenge (The Raffle Strikes Back)

Day 19: I want to believe

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez & Damo Suzuki - Please Heat This Eventually

This begins with what sounds like an alien transmission, and only gets weirder. I bought this blind, not knowing who Damo Suzuki was, but really loving the version of this song on Omar's then-recent solo album, Se Dice Bisonte, No Bùfalo. This is quite a bit more bizarre, but it's a fun trip if you can get past the cookie monster vocals.

Play a short album (at least under 30 minutes)

Barbara Howard - On the Rise



If my math is correct this clocks in at 29:37. And man what an awesome half an hour of music it is! VMP did a great job with this variant, I really dig this album.

This is a really fun, interesting, and informative thread! And I can't believe the level of commitment required for all of these awesome themed posts. A tip o' the hat to all of you!

Join us next month! These are fun to do and, as someone who made the March thread, a lot of fun to make!

Tycho - Weather

29:20 total runtime, and I think the only "album" I have that is under 30 minutes (I have EPs that would fit the shortness requirement)

JULY 26 (Early Edition)
IT'S NOT ABOUT WHO DID IT FIRST, BUT WHO DID IT BETTER
Play an album with a great cover song/songs on it

Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One

I may not have time to spin tomorrow, so I'm getting a jump on it by spinning this one today. It includes two wonderful covers, one of the Beach Boys' "Little Honda" and another of "My Little Corner of the World," first recorded by Anita Bryant.

JULY 25
BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT
Play a short album (at least under 30 minutes)

Dolly Parton - Jolene

Clocking in at just over 24 minutes, this album gets in, throws some love songs in your face, and runs out the back. Includes a couple all time greats for good measure.

somewhere a river of happiness flows

[MadLucas]

DAY 25 - BREVITY



At 23:58, this album would suffer if any longer. This is the right amount of fun and heady. Did I mention "Indian Summer" is one of the best songs ever written?

Also: surprised no one else played them yet. Two if their albums are under 30 minutes, and two other just pass the 30-minute mark.

jj cale -okie

28 minutes and change. and one of his best songs.
