July 2021 Vinyl Spin Challenge: Summer Breeze Makes Me Feel Fine

[Turbo]

Him and Mitsou were they only Quebecois singers I could think of on short notice.

Before you ask, I don't have any Mitsou either.

July 14 - Bastille Day
Play something connected to France or revolution.

This theme's a blessing since I don't know if I would have even given this one a spin on the full collection listen. Kind of rocks to be honest, even if I can't understand a darn word

Mama Béa ‎– Aux Alentours D'Après Minuit

 

[Hemotep]

Day 14: Bastille Day
Viva la France!

Gong - Expresso

Unfortunately I only have the US release of this and not the French version Gazeuse!

Now the question is whether @LeeVing will still play one of his numerous Gong LPs or if he will go In a different direction entirely.

I am hoping one of your breaks out a Magma album

I'd have to go digging in my cd collection for that!

Both are something I thought about...but I haven't made a decision yet.

July 12 - By the time I get to Arizona
Play your favourite road trip album

Tricky one.
When I'm commuting I usually listen to podcasts and on the rare road trips with the family my wife likes to chat (no matter how long the drive is, lol).
So I'll use this day to spin a recent buy.

Neil Young - Harvest

 

[LeeVing]

July 11 - National Mojito day.

My preferred beverage the last couple years has been Bourbon and Sprite, since I mix it this keeps me a bit more frugal and I don't buy the more expensive bourbons out there. Currently I have a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon that I got on sale...I still go middle shelf, not those plastic bottles on the bottom shelf.

July 12 - By the time I get to Arizona

Since my wife fractured her pelvis 20-ish years ago, sitting in a car for more than 2 hours is a bit hard for her. So real road trips are a bit hard to do without stopping frequently for her to stand up and walk around for a bit.

Because of that we really haven't done many road trips. We go for "drives", but those are about an hour and a half at most. We just talk or listen to SiriusXM Road Trip Radio, as the 3 of us can't agree on any other station or a full album to play....and with COVID the last year+, we really haven't had anywhere to go or drive to.

I used to drive more aggressively when I was younger... I think that had a lot to do with the music I used to listen to when I was on road trips by myself. (my wife would not allow this album to be played in the car...she would just change the station)

Slipknot ‎– Slipknot

July 15 - Kick out the jams mother trucker!! - Play a live record

Gary Clark Jr. - Live

 

[jamieanderson1968]

I saw him live in 2016. Long story but a co-worker had a spare ticket and didn't want to go to the show alone so I tagged along. I knew his name but had never listened to any of his music. It was a really great and energetic show.

I miss truly crazy prog bands. How can you not love a record with a chimp/human hybrid who is wearing skate/skis on the cover
