Day 20: Scottish Tunes
The country my Dad is from. Play me something by an artist born in Scotland.
Du Blonde "Homecoming" (2021 Daemon TV Records)
Shirley Manson of Garbage is from Scotland, so it gives me the excuse to spin this rocking new release where Shirley Manson does a guest spot.

Also, this might be of interest. While I was googling to decide what to spin, I came across this article about emerging Scottish artists. I'll be checking these out today.

10 emerging Scottish bands who are innovating alternative music
Between the likes of Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro and beyond, Scotland set some solid roots in the ’90s mainstream alternative explosion. Don’t mistake its prominence in the music scene as a thing of the past, though. The country has been churning out new powerhouse bands well into the modern era...

Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
For the first time, I’ll resist the urge to play Teenage Fanclub. I didn’t have high opinions of this band until someone played the album from the start. One of my favorite opening tracks.

The Delgados - The Great Eastern
Dave Fridmann has produced some amazing records from a lot of well known bands (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Sparklehorse, etc…) for some dumbfounding reason Scottish band, The Delgados never received the same amount of attention as these other well deserving groups. The Great Eastern is as on par or better than The Soft Bulletin, Deserter’s Songs, or It’s A Wonderful Life. Just a beautiful album from beginning to end.

Edit: It's literally on my turntable right now... and I think I'm screwed now on my secondary challenge... a few days in to the month, I noticed I'd only played albums by women or bands with women singing, so I thought I'd keep it up all month, but I think this was my only Scottish album that lets me do that... EDIT: except it isn't and I totally forgot an obvious one. Phew.

I was gonna offer to Pinch Hit for ya. Belle & Sebastian with Isobelle Campbell singing woulda fit nicely.

Aztec Camera - High Land, Hard Rain
Was going to play some more Teenage Fanclub but @Yer Ol' Uncle D playing Backwards earlier in the month made me pull this record out. The band had a revolving door of members, but really is just Roddy Frame.

Day 19: Family
Some of my earliest records were a couple of my mom's old Monkees albums that my grandparents still had at their house. I doubt she had this one, though.

I also highly recommend the Criterion Blu-ray box set the movie is in...

Born in Scotland, he spent his first 12 years there before he and his family moved to England. "A" was suppose to be his first solo album, but that became a Jethro Tull album instead due to label pressure, making this his debut solo release.
The "A", "Under Wraps", "Walk Into Light" era of JT/IA are probably my least favorite. "The Broadsword and the Beast" has its moments, but I still don't listen to it that much. The synths just didn't work for me.
