June 2021 Vinyl Spin Challenge: 🌈☀️Holidaze 🎶🪐
- Thread starter cul8er
- Start date
June 1 - Dare Day
Okay, I checked the link of additional holidays and noticed that today is also:
World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day
So it seemed a good day to spin this one
Ryan Adams - Gold
l don't stream his music anymore, and I wouldn't "dare" spin this around most others, but I've owned this record for years, and this album is one of those I played so much in its first years that the songs became a part of me. And I've put up with too much of the type of shit Mr. Adams inflicted on women in my own experiences with the music and poetry worlds to give up the music that got me through it.

June 2 National Bubba Day
An incredible song about playing to live to play again...
The Living Bubba
Song by Drive-By Truckers
I wake up tired and I wake up pissed
Wonder how I ended up like this
I wonder why things happen like they do
But I don't wonder long 'cause I got a show to do
I'm sick at my stomach from the A.Z.T.
Broke at my bank 'cause that shit ain't free
But I'm here to stay (at least another week or two)
I can't die now 'cause I got another show to do
Don't give me no pity don't give me no grief
Wait till I die for sympathy
Just help me with this amp and a guitar or two
I can't die now 'cause I got another show to do
Don't give me no preachin' no self servin'
I ain't no angel but nobody's deserving
I can dance on my own grave, Thank You!
But I can't die now 'cause I got another show
Some people keep saying I can't last long
But I got my bands I got my songs,
Liquor, beer, and nicotine to help me along
And I'm drunk and stubborn as they come
Chain smoking, guitar picking, til I'm gone
I ain't got no political agenda
Ain't got no message for the youth of America
'cept "Wear a rubber and be careful who you screw"
And come see me next Friday 'cause I got another show
Some people stop living long before they die
Work a dead end job just to scrape on by
But I keep living just to bend that note in two
And I can't die now 'cause I got another show

World Reef Awareness Day
Sun Ra & His Astro Infinity Arkestra - Atlantis
Starting things off by pretty straightforwardly by connecting reefs to Atlantis.
Inspired by @cul8er having the personal side challenge with N&G AotMs last month, and without having tried to plot the whole thing out in advance, I'm going to try and answer every challenge this month with a Sun Ra related spin. This ought to be fun. Let's get weird!

National Rocky Road Day
Sun Ra & His Astro Infinity Arkestra - My Brother The Wind, Vol II
If one were to go "Walking On The Moon" as the final song of this album suggests, I imagine the road would be quite rocky indeed.

Day 2 - National Rocky Road Day - We all scream for ice cream!
Blur "The Magic Whip" (2015 Parlophone)
Here comes the ice-cream man
Parked at the end of the road
With a swish of his magic whip
All the people in the party froze
Scribble, chocolate chip, umbrella and his white glove and
Shade from the sun was his intention

Dare Day – I dare you to spin something your house mates hate (while they are in the room)
So the good lady wife , Mrs N, has accepted my constant record buying , arranging , rearranging, spending and constant factoids with good grace over the last 20 years - but she has two issues with music - Bjork and harmonicas - both struggle to survive joint listening experiences - I’m kinda happy to let bjork go (she slightly annoys me too now) BUT harmonicas rule
So here’s some “chicken man” as he is dubbed by the good lady as she misheard a song once and he is now forever the fella sing about chickens whilst blowing the dreaded harmonica...
BOB DYLAN “Highway 61 Revisited” 1965 / 2021 clear vinyl mono reissue with added harmonicas

This song is the only appropriate choice for today. Thankfully the DBT put it on multiple albums. Patterson Hood wrote it about Gregory Dean Smalley who while dying of AIDS, put everything he had left into playing shows.

Day 2
National Bubbha Day
Bubbha Thomas and the Lightmen - Country Fried Chicken
which raises a question, maybe it’s my southern ignorance, but what other way is there to fry chicken?

Day 1: Dare Day
FKA twigs - M3LL155X
My family can hear the bass from the living room directly upstairs and whenever the mix is bassy enough (like this one is), it really gets under their skin. Though since they fixed the roofing in my brother’s room next to me, that’s been happening less and less...
EDIT: this pick was a raging success (according to my mother)!

Day 2: National Rocky Road Day
The Time - Ice Cream Castle
But instead of rocky road, how about some Neapolitan instead?

Day 02: National Rocky Road Day
We all scream for ice cream!
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…
I know I just spun this last month for the cooking day challenge but it contains a song literally called “Ice Cream” so it seems like the right choice. Plus OB4CL is great record, ya never need an excuse to spin this classic.

Dare Day – I dare you to spin something your house mates hate (while they are in the room)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
My wife puts up with my post rock (and can enjoy the more Explosions-esque style)... but an hour and a half of Godspeed drones and crescendos is pushing it!
