Craig Mack - Project: Funk Da World
I don’t have any Tina Turner so Ima gonna lean on Hip-Hop samples again…Ike and Tina’s “Why Can’t We Be Happy” was sampled on Mack’s closing track, “Welcome to1994”.

Day 22: John Lennon
John Lennon - Imagine
I prefer Macca’s and George’s solo stuff to Lennon’s but my SO is a John Lennon stan so we have a few of his solo albums.

Day 23: Freddy Mercury
Queen - The Game
My SO and I both enjoy Queen but she is a bigger fan than me and as such she’s responsible for most of The Queen records also.

January 23: Freddie Mercury
I recently read through a fair bit about Héctor Lavoe's life and learned that he died of AIDS at 46. His was supposedly from intravenous drug use. Self destructive habits and artistic creation seem to go hand in hand too often in our society. We've lost out on a lot of beauty in this world because the ugliness snuffed it out.
Héctor guests on several tracks on this Willie Colón album. Crime Pays.

Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett had a joke that any cassette left in a car for more than two weeks would turn into Queen's Greatest Hits, which made it into their book Good Omens. This translated into the Good Omens TV show in that Crowley's car seems to always play Queen songs. This in turn led to my 16 year old being obsessed with Queen and all things Neil Gaiman. Neither of which is a bad thing.

Day 23: Freddie Mercury
“Extravagance is the wicked stepmother of invention”
Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster (Deluxe Edition)
The album’s themes centre around fame & extravagance & vinyl box sets can be a rather extravagant purchase at times (not this one, it was rather inexpensive compared to how much it goes for now lol)
EDIT: I also just realized I played an artist who got her name from a Queen song. uhhh… I meant to do that?

Love Freddie Mercury that I have his solo and compilation albums....but I I love the band more - so I'm going with this greatest hits comp - and not the usual one that was released the next year.
Queen – Greatest Hits
EMI – OLE-7012, 1980
South Korean only compilation
This has a different tracklist than the Greatest Hits that was released everywhere else in 1981...

January 24: Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain was a pivotal figure in the music industry, best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist of the iconic rock band Nirvana. Born on February 20, 1967, in Aberdeen, Washington, Cobain displayed a passion for music from a young age. Nirvana's breakthrough came with their second album, "Nevermind," released in 1991, featuring the smash hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Cobain's distinctive songwriting and raw, emotional performances contributed to the band's immense success and their influence on the grunge movement.
Tragically, Kurt Cobain's life was cut short when he died by suicide on April 5, 1994, at the age of 27. His untimely death shocked the music world and left a lasting impact on fans globally. Cobain's legacy endures not only through Nirvana's enduring popularity but also through his status as an emblematic figure of the '90s alternative rock scene. His influence extends beyond music, as Cobain is often remembered for his anti-establishment ethos and the challenges he faced in the spotlight.
Kurt and Nirvana influenced a whole generation; a whole genre; a whole movement. Spin something today by Nirvana, an artist who was influenced by Nirvana, or anything else that this card inspires.

Limited to 500 on "Shag Carpet" 3-color swirl

Someone already played Sturgill and I don’t have any of the albums on that list (well besides Bowie), so I guess I’ll just play some Nirvana:
Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York
