Day 21 - Asia, play a record from an artist that hails from Asia
I'm severely lacking here too. While I have a number in my discogs want list, I haven't pulled the trigger.
But you know what, I was born in Japan, so I Guess I'll just play something I like.

Monday (22) – Your Personal Favorite Genre day
Are sugary - sweet pop hooks and girl group melodies drenched in fuzz and feedback and hidden beneath a squall of white noise a genre?
The Jesus And Mary Chain - Psychocandy

Day 22 - Favorite Genre
St Vincent - MASSeduction
Pop/Art Pop has pretty much taken over my tastes the pasts few years. In fact my last 3 AOTYs were all art pop albums (this, in a poem Unlimited and NFR). St Vincent is pretty unquestionably my favorite in the genre
Edit: Fuck man I just got done spinning this and it has me so fucked up tonight!

Day 22: Your Personal Favourite Genre
A tough choice for me between classic rock & soul, but I went with the latter, and one of the best soul albums ever released...
Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul

...and since it’s past midnight now & I’m still wide awake, I might as well:
Day 23: Unique Sleeve
It only makes sense to follow up Isaac Hayes with more Isaac Hayes!
Isaac Hayes - Black Moses
The packaging of this album folds out into a poster-sized image of Isaac Hayes as... well, Black Moses!

I'm going with Erika Wennerstrom's "Sweet unknown" today. It's a wonderful record and the record sleeve design looks lovely to me. Beautiful, yet mysterious.

Day 23 - Cool sleeve
Radiohead- King of Limbs newspaper edition
This one’s pretty interesting. Maybe not the coolest, but something I’ve been wanting to spin anyway. It comes with a fold out newspaper (I don’t take it out since the chance of me ripping it is 100%
), Radiohead-themed blotter paper (see pic), and the Radiohead 00s standard of 2x10 LPs.

Yazz Ahmed – La Saboteuse (Naim Jazz, 2017 Limited First Pressing, 16-page booklet, embossed gatefold)
I got lucky with this one as I put in a low bid and won. When it turned up it was actually the limited first pressing with 16-page booklet and embossed jacket. Sophie Bass has produced all the artwork for Yazz Ahmed's releases to date and they really are amazing. With this release the artwork has another element by being embossed, on all sides (front back and inner gatefold). The music is fantastic as well, so overall a great package.

Ingrid Michaelson - Lights Out (2014)
Is "female singer-songwriter music" a genre?
I particularly love when they write angry songs.
Like "Time machine"
"If I had a time machine, I'd go back and tell me RUN! RUN! RUN!!!".
That's a great chorus.

Alright, here is some unique artwork.
I won't post every sleeve or angle, you can see it all on the discogs page.
Hot Chip - Bath Full of Ecstasy
It is meant to have all of the text from each page or sleeve printed on the front cover, leaving every other page blank.
The cover:
Inside the gatefold and back cover (I'll just post one page, they all look like this)
All four record labels look like this.
Even the inner sleeves are left blank because the text "left the page."
The vinyl is crystal clear.
To keep the theme, I reduced the color on my photo
Say what you will if this is "artwork" or not, it is certainly unique, and I like it.

Day 23 - sleeve
Gyedu-Blay Ambolley
Silkscreen printed, and smells so much from it that I have to keep the cover on its own in an outer sleeve. Another classic from Analog Africa, who I would have used for my label big-up later but I guess enough people know of them.
