June 2021 Vinyl Spin Challenge: 🌈☀️Holidaze 🎶🪐

June 26 - Forgiveness Day - Please forgive the last emoji string, I don't know how to use the movable hair emojis! lol

Guaranteed always has seemed to be a forgiveness song for me. In that Chris McCandless (via Eddie Vedder) is asking forgiveness from his family for his need to go Into the Wild, but knowing his reasons and needs for doing so.

"Don't come closer or I'll have to go, Owning me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home it would be you"

And I gotta say, I can't wait for the Ohana festival in September and the chance to hear these songs live again.

Took me 25 days to notice, but I just realized you're doing a full-out Sun-Ra month. Were you able to manage every day? Impressive.

My original intention was to freestyle every day, but after a week or so I sat and plotted things out because I knew some of them were going to be really tricky. But I've also changed the list a few times, particularly with some new arrivals. I'll be clearing the month with 5 albums and 3 7"s still available for use and 2 albums in the mail and a box set shipping imminently! ;) :geek:🪐

Sunglasses are as essential as socks and underwear to my daily life. I would probably wear them at night if I could see with them on. Also, a good pair of shades makes everyone at least 15% cooler than they would be otherwise. To quote NC, NR epic ode to eye protection…

“I am invincible in these sunglasses
I am the Fonz, I am the Jack of Hearts
I'm looking at you and you cannot tell
I am more than the sum of my parts
I am looking at you with my best eyes and I wish you could tell
I wish all my kids would stop dressing up like Richard Hell
I am locked away in a high-tech
Wraparound, translucent, blue-tinted fortress
And you cannot touch me
I am invincible in these sunglasses
Cars are going: "Beep, beep, beep"
And there are so many roadmen on this street
And they cannot tell that I am scared
I am invincible in these sunglasses
I am 'modern-Scott Walker'
I'm a surprisingly smooth talker
And I'm invincible in these sunglasses”



I’m more than adequate

International Body Piercing Day

Sun Ra & His Arkestra - Featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold

This was definitely the trickiest one for me but I finally found the link through "The Voice of Pan" and the caption to Walter Crane's illustration below of Pan, which reads, "Sweet, piercing sweet was the music of Pan's pipe."

Some folks might also describe some or all of the music on this album as piercing.
