I don't think Cosmic grooves count as a different culture for you man!

Fair. These are my people!

Axis was always my Hendrix of choice for augmented listening. Though I did have a very intense night with the Woodstock album.

All Hendrix qualified for leisure activities.

I always dug '1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)' for its exceptional balance of trippiness and song length.

Tame Impala - Currents



A few songs from this record were on the playlist at nearly every college party in '15 or '16.

2 - “Calm down, your being very undude.”
Play something that inspire self-reflection

I've got some catching up to do, and while listening to this album and catching up over here I realized this was actually perfect for this prompt. I hadn't listened to Bob Dylan Blues in a long time and it really hit harder for me this time than I remember it ever doing before. This really is a treat of a comp.

Introducing Syd Barrett

Beck "Odelay!" (1996 Geffen; 2016 club reissue)
I was in college throughout the 90's so I have a ton of choices... going with this. It's not Beck.

Day 02: “Calm down, your being very undude.”
Play something that inspire self-reflection

The National - Boxer

The National are a band that I always imagine soundtracking a lonely contemplative moment, probably involving a wistful stare, a loosened tie, and some heavy ice cubes clinking around a tumbler containing a half drank high end scotch in one hand and a lit American Spirit in the other.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 03: “Obviously you’re not a golfer.”
Spin something sports related

Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales

Jack Johnson was a pro-surfer which I would consider a sport plus this album contains “Mudfootball”.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 04: “Eight year olds, Dude”
Play something from your childhood or teenage years.

Adam Sandler - They’re All Gonna Laugh At You

This album was a favorite of mine in my younger self. I wish I would say I have grown out of such juvenile humor but this still makes giggle like a twelve year-old.

3 - “Obviously you’re not a golfer.”
Spin something sports related

The Men - Fuzz Club Sessions

The song Driver is about a race car driver (it's an instrumental track, so you can't tell me it's not)

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 05: "Forget it, Donny. You're out of your element!"
Play something from different cultures and parts of the world.

Haruomi Hosono - Pacific

This album while Japanese in origin feels like tropical tiki lounge music made by extraterrestrials.

The Hold Steady - …Almost Killed Me

This was a big album for me in my early adulthood.

That's my favorite The National song.
