Day 15: The Ides of March

Styx - Kilroy Was Here



The brainchild of frontman Dennis DeYoung that none of the rest of the band liked, then or now. There’d been creative differences within the band for awhile but this album combined with the tour for it would be what finally did them in (the first time).

Day 16: Forgotten FOMO

Tyler, the Creator - Cherry Bomb



An album I only played once before today, on the day I picked it up. It’s a great album though and I’m glad I was able to get one.

When it's the best, even if you've posted it a bunch before, it's still the best...

March 18: That new record smell. Play a recently opened album

Middle Kids "today you're the greatest"

I've received their new album already on Wednesday, but didn't have time to spin it until now. Sounds very good so far.

Taylor Swift - Lover

This one can definitely be described as pretty, and the colors go with the album art perfectly!

March 15: The Ides of March - play an album that marked the beginning of the end for a band

March 16: Forgotten FOMO - play something that FOMO made you buy, but haven't really listened to much.

I remember really liking this one when it came out and then it kind of fell through the cracks.
It's really good, I should definitely spin it more often.

March 17: St. Patrick's Day - The luck of the Irish...play something Irish...or Green.

March 18: That new record smell. Play a recently opened album.

Was thinking I'd wait for some new arrivals, but @ranbalam scooped me on one of them. the others' tracking looks like Monday at the earliest, so here's one that came a few weeks ago. In fact I ordered it the same time as Insomniac 25 anniversary edition, which should arrive next week.

Green Day - Father Of All...

It could also be a pretty record, but I have others that are just as nice.

I've been picking up some of Nick's earlier albums lately. This one arrived yesterday.

I was considering this one for "impress LeeVing day," but I know he has this one already. I sometimes get random discogers asking if I want to sell it. Besides the great music, I can't imagine why

I do really like the pinwheel effect. In this case it goes really well with the band Sea At Last, because it looks like a propeller for a boat motor.

Sea At Last - Atlas

Jimi Hendrix "Band Of Gypsys" (1970 Capitol; 2020 Experience Hendrix, AAA 50th anniversary edition)

On pretty marbled red black and white vinyl. Recorded live at The Fillmore East on New Year's Eve 69/70.

 

[LeeVing]

I sometimes get random discogers asking if I want to sell it. Besides the great music, I can't imagine why

I have yet to be asked to sell anything. I do occasionally get asked to email high rez scans or high rez rips. I delete those emails pretty quick and just ignore them.

Not sure if it's the most interesting color combination but, it sure looks good (sounds great too).
Described as Summer Wine Sunburst Orange wax

 

[LeeVing]

I was considering this one for "impress LeeVing day," but I know he has this one already.

I think it was your post on the original "I"m Feeling Pretty" day that made me buy a copy. I remember buying the other flesh variant but getting this pinwheel version. The one time I got send the wrong record from a Discogs seller that worked in my favor.

I think because when clicking on the "ratings" or "have" section, it lists users in alphabetical order. Mine user name is towards the top of the list most of the time.

Lorde - Melodrama



I focused on the album cover for this one (the vinyl is a matching blue, nothing too extravagant). This is one of my favorite covers of recent memory

Day 19 - pretty

Nubya Garcia - Source

In honour of this month's N&G AOTM, here's the fabulous saxophonist Nubya who appears on the Nérija album too. Not a big fan of coloured vinyl but think it works best like here when it ties into the album art, which here is also v pretty.

This was sealed so would've been a good choice for yesterday. I'm growing increasingly fond of colorways with a controlled splatter technique where the splatter is fairly substantial and causes a cool effect while on the table. The recent 6131 Julien Baker was like that, and this one has been in my collection for a while unopened. Seems as good a reason as any to give it a spin today especially as the title and color are intertwined

Baroness - Blue Record



I don’t really care too much about colored vinyl, but I think this pressing looks pretty nice. Really compliments the album cover too. Picked it up at their merch table when I saw them live.
