Day 26 - Randomizer x Two

Shaking the app on my phone:



Clicking 'Random Item' on browser version:







I definitely prefer to use Discogs in a browser, even on my tablet. I rarely use the app.

And I like the browser's choice better. It's not War on Drugs' fault; it's a like vs love thing ❤

Day 26: Welcome to Rando Town!



Wu Tang Clan "The W"

Talk about random, holy shit I can't remember the last time I pulled this out! This should be a fun ride!

Day 23: Jenny Lewis - The Voyager (catch-up edition)

One of the most underrated albums in my opinion of the 2010s, this is such a great slice of rock/pop in the vein of Laurel Canyon.

Day 26: Discogs randomizer





I love this album. Mostly because this was around the time I met my wife. Their second album was good too. I don’t know what happened after that.

Day 24: Jimmy Cliff in "The Harder They Come" (catch-up edition)

An absolute classic of the Reggae genre, this soundtrack is a joy to listen to...lots of amazing songs

第二十二天： first in line

After argument ~ 这不是你的游戏（this is not your game)



Back in 2011, Share The Obstacles co-owners Zaza and Yang Haisong formed After Argument out of their mutual musical interests in Washington D.C. punk bands. Yang Haisong is most famous for his work with PK.14 and founding the label maybe Mars in Beijing so naturally anything he produces on vinyl I instabuy

第二十三天： sorry but you're a bit too underrated for me

Yeasayer ~ amen and goodbye



Sure I may be a Yeasayer fanatic, and might be a bit biased but their fourth full length album is in my opinion a record that often gets overlooked in their discography. Sure it's not all hour cymbals but the progress they made as a band is on full display, catchy lyrics, groovy electronic piano grooves, a nice mix of psychedelic combines all three of their previous works into one solid well rounded album that deserves a second listen.

Day 25: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (catch-up edition)

So I was supposed to see Neil way back in high school, but the show got cancelled for whatever reason that is lost to time. Still want to see him, bonus points for how great it would have been to see Crazy Horse in their prime.

I asked for and got standby tonight, so unless they call me in I'll try to catch up the last couple of days.

Day 26: Roll of the Dice

Today’s challenge forced me to download the Discogs app once again (I’ve had it on my phone multiple times but always end up deleting it because I don’t find it user friendly). At least the app had the decency to randomly pick some soli dinner-cooking music:

And here are half of the morels I’m cooking tonight:

If you ever delete it again and need to do this in the future, you can do it in browser if you are in desktop mode.

You can actually also do it in mobile mode if you turn your phone sideways (landscape style) on the main Collection tab. That’s what I do, since I also dislike the app.

Day 25 (catch up): band you haven't seen live but want to

Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup

I somehow missed out on listening to Stereolab for years, despite them being a band adjacent to a bunch that I listened to. Last year, that changed, and I saw they were playing a show near me in scenic Big Sur. Unfortunately for me, it was a fundraiser for a library, and tickets were like $200, so I put some of that money towards getting more of these wonderful vinyl reissues.

第二十四天：you could never make it in Hollywood

La La Land



I don't have many soundtracks but I do have the soundtrack and score to La La Land. I went into the movie not knowing it was a musical...And despite living music I'm not a huge fan of musicals, the whole dancing in the street kinda kills it for me...And that's exactly how this movie started and I was like wtf did I just get tricked into watching...Little did I know that by the end I'd be in tears and loving every minute of it

DAY 26 - DISCOGS RANDOM



My favorite solo album from any Sonic Youth member?
Well played, DISCOGS, well played.

Day 26: The National - Boxer

Thank you Discogs randomizer, I almost picked this album for the live challenge.

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Day 26 - Discogs Randomizer



Father John Misty - Fear Fun

I was going to try and avoid playing Tillman for this challenge (especially since I played 4 of his records for the last one I did in December) but looks like discogs had other plans

Day 25: An artist you haven’t seen live but would love to be able to

Prince - Sign "☮ " the Times

"It (Would Have Been) a Beautiful Night"

Some people are just too cool for this planet.

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Tracker is finally up to date! went back and double checked the gaps and filled in what i did miss. It should be accuarate but if not let me know.

All plays must be in by 11:59pm est on June 2nd so if you did miss out on a day and still want to be in the raffle be sure to spin those records!

DAY 27 - LEAST FAVORITE ALBUM COVER
David Bowie - Reality
I love Bowie but yeesh.

Day 26: Discogs Randomizer

Mitski - Puberty 2

What a contrast to the never seen live theme as I've reached double digit Mitski shows. The first time I saw her was in a bowling alley and almost 3 years to the day after that I saw her in an arena. I also get to spout off the hot take that she's the best artist of the last half dozen years or so. Bonus poster in the background.

Day 27 - Least Favorite Album Cover



Cage the Elephant - Melophobia

I love cage so much but god damn they have some real ugly album covers in their discography. This one is particularly hard to look at
