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

July 5 - Interconnected day 1 - Over the next 3 days play records that are connected somehow (don’t be lazy and play 3 albums by the same band, unless it was part of a trilogy)

The Gerbils - Are You Sleepy?

Scott Spillane is one of my all time favorite musicians. I've gotten to see him six times live, but never as The Gerbils. In a better world they'd get back together and do another album and tour. I'd settle for another tour of Andrew, Scott, and Laura just to hear their cover of St. Thomas's Strangers Out of Blue. When I started collecting vinyl again a couple years ago this was one of the first albums I looked for.

July 4 - I’m so Bored with the U.S.A.
Play a record by a non-USian artist.

I remember seeing this one in the what's spinning thread, can't remember who was spinning but, it's a fantastic compilation.

I really wanted to use a couple of my to plays and thematically today’s choice helps it all work. I’ll explain my connections on Days 2 and 3

Janis Joplin - Pearl
