Day 14 - Middle East
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Flying Mictotonal Banana
Middle eastern music (well all world music in general) is a huge blind spot for me, so I gotta go with something inspired by middle eastern music

Tuesday (16) – Prints, get your prints, what is a piece of art that came with your record that you want to show off
I pick "Violence" by Editors for today. It includes 12 sheets of impressive art. Also a nice signed picture of the band was included in this edition.
It's a great album too.

When I was a youth, if you didn't own these prints and this poster wasn't on your wall you had some explainin' to do.
The original art and album that I bought in 1974...
The Beatles - White Album

Moses Sumney - grae
I'm once again going to ask you to do a little work (click through the pictures haha) to see this art, but the packaging on this record is amazing. The piece that I'm going to highlight is this translucent plastic that looks like an old projector sheet with what appears to be random letters printed on it. When you place that over the center of one of the booklets that came with the record, it reveals a poem. Super cool! A ton of thought went into the packaging for this album and it was extremely well done!

Day 16 - prints
Orchestre Baobab - Mohammadou Bamba
Not sure I have many prints but these are the albums I currently have hanging in the hallway (Baobab is top left; Black Santiago, Terry Callier, and Joni Mitchell are the others). Any excuse to play this album, which is a top 10 of all time one for me, is a good one.

Freddie Mercury was from Zanzibar and Mustapha shows his roots most clearly. Awesome track.

Day (15) – Any kind of Electronic
Lamb - Fear Of Fours (1999)
This ain't my favorite album of theirs, there's a lot of instrumental tracks and I prefer their trip-hop sung songs. But damn, "B line" is such a great song, so crazy and twisted.

Day 16: Prints
Ok, so not really artwork, but it cracks me up every time I play this album. Sort of like Spinal Tap and Stonehenge in reverse. I picture Neil talking to reprise - "Hey, I want to put a lyric sheet in the album". They say, sure we do that all the time. Little did they know.
Somehow it ends up with this giant lyric sheet. Maybe Neil was thinking ahead for his audience aging, and making sure they had a large print version....
