17 – The Moment I Knew- Now we’re into the Deluxe cuts. This is the first track once you get past the standard edition and it does make sense to why it was cut originally given it’s a bit reminiscent of a portion of All Too Well.

WaterTower Music – WTM39474, 1970/2013

20 – State of Grace (Acoustic Version) – Making me think of four themes for a song, rude as heck.
Play an acoustic album
Danielle Durack - No Place
One of my top50 from last year, somewhere in the 31-40 range. It went unfairly under the radar.
Outside of the lead single "Broken Wings," which progresses to more of a distorted indie rock number, the rest of the album is an acoustic indie pop/singer-songwriter jam with cute songs and fun performances. Wouldn't mind seeing her in concert if she ventures up to Portland.

I fell behind, so I'm starting with today and going to try and work my way back as I can to fill in the blanks.
20 – State of Grace (Acoustic Version) – Making me think of four themes for a song, rude as heck.
Play an album with strong literary or mythological references
Possibly I'm cheating with this pick, but I think Colin Meloy with his creative writing degree should get to count as a walking literary reference. This album certainly has that effect.
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Anyone who's seen them live knows how much fun it is when they do Mariner's Revenge Song.

19 – Girl At Home: Given the sheer volume of Swift songs about relationships, it’s a tiny bit surprising we haven’t gotten a track of her as the potential “other woman” until this one. Maybe except Better Than Revenge but we don’t really talk about that any more right?
Play an album that has a song (or songs) that can skirt moral lines
I realize that "Little Girls" was intended to be satire, but the song has just gotten more creepy over the years.

Day 17 - The Moment I Knew
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - KG
I don’t think I exactly knew it at the time but something definitely changed for me with this release. I didn’t feel any real hype for this one like I did with any of their previous albums and that hype still hasn’t come back for me. I haven’t even listened to an album by they since LW and I sadly have no motivation to do so

18 – Come Back…Be Here: The track is another one that draws on themes of other songs (distance in relationships eventually crumbling them), albeit with a very different tone to it
Play an album about or that references New York
Spoon - They Want My Soul
Ends with "New York Kiss."

Who knew heavy riffage would translate so well into a catchy as hell knee slappin' acoustic album? These guys.

I don't pick favorites or rank things much any more, so I just picked an album from pandemic time that I really like.

It's hard to pick a favorite pandemic album because there were a lot of good ones. This and Devin Townsend's Galactic Quarantine were two of my favorites.

21 – Ronan – The story behind this one is particularly tough. It’s worth reading in full but she wrote this about a three-year old who died of cancer after an eight-month battle. She has only performed it a handful of times and is something very different than nearly anything else she’s put out. On that somber note
Play an album that reminds you of your childhood
Or
Play an album of a philanthropic nature
I’m doubling up on the themes. Jack Johnson was one of my first independent finds as a teen. Heard Flake on the radio and subsequently wore out the CDs. Jack Johnson is also a noted philanthropist whose proceeds from the Sleep Through the Static tour went towards charitable and sustainable endeavors. So given that that is the night where I finally see him for the first time after waiting 20 years, it felt right to play the album consisting of live performances from that tour.
As an aside, it's a very well recorded and mastered live record - Bernie Grundman was behind this as he was behind most of Jack's vinyl output and it sounds every bit of it. The current price point is probably too stiff to justify but if you find one at retail it's very much worth the grab.
