Day 4 - Hype!
Rookie - Rookie
Released in 2020 or 1977, can’t really tell. This is kind of cheating since this is a Chicago band and while I (very) briefly lived in Chicago with a friend, I never really called it my residence and didn’t send my mail there. But, I was there and there I stayed, so here I send you the good Rookie vibes. Part T.Rex rock, part Exhile On Main St country, part neo-poprock, part Lake Michigan, part sunny field....all catchy tunes.
One of my new favorites for 2020.
You gotta read the paper to see what they said about you

Week 1 should all be recorded and updated in the spreadsheet.
A full week with no duplicates played on the same day! One of the best parts of taking this info down is being able to learn about some albums I never heard of before and getting the chance to dive into them. Keep bringing the

Day 08 - Any kind of Jazz
John Coltrane - Blue Train (Blue Note, 1957 First Mono Pressing)
Lots to choose from today so I decided to go for one of the first jazz albums to truly capture my attention. There's lots of killer albums from Coltrane (I might even argue that 'Giant Steps' is more groundbreaking than this recording) but this was his only recording for Blue Note Records.

I really like this album. I listened to this one yesterday as my Africa pick, but didn't post yet. That's okay. Now, I just get to listen to another album from that brilliant box in it's place. BONUS!

Lee Morgan- Cornbread
I started my own journey into jazz within the last two years or so, and when I first began I had never heard of Lee Morgan. Now I’ll buy anything he’s on, whether as leader or sideman. It’s crazy to think of his amazing output in such a short period of time.

My dude I am 100% on board with this. Lee Morgan is my favourite jazz musician!
To be fair, it is a really great album. And I’m pretty light on for jazz records too.

Day 8: Any kind of Jazz.
One of my more consistently played albums from VMP. I was worried that it was too "smooth jazz" to begin with, but there's enough to it that it keeps me coming back.

This one is definetly a stretch.. but sadly my collection is sparse on African content. I'll have to change that ASAP! Anywho, please bear with this pick!
Queen Latifah - All Hail The Queen

Björk & Tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar - Gling-Gló (1990)
I listened to this album some time after Homogenic. It was a shock, it is not at all what Björk does, but it's 100% Björk.
I wonder if it's as disconcerting for jazz fans that never listened the other albums by Björk.
