Day 9 - Panic in Detroit
Panic in Detroit / I asked for an autograph
Play an album that is connected to Detroit

When Desire hit local radio in 1980, 11 year me could not get enough of that song.
These guys were Detroit radio staples but never really got too much further. They did a great cover of Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well, and this album has a decent cover of Lou Reed's Sally Can't Dance.

I have a hunch @Yer Ol' Uncle D knows of these guys.

.

Yep.

And I have a hunch @avecigrec and @imtheocean know Patterson Hood's dad David was the bass player in this band on their S/T (the 'Oh Well') record.

Some great Detroit selections today

We're approaching midnight (my time) and I was supremely confident this band would get a tip o' the cap by now so I gotta take things into my own hands and double dip.

Thanks for everything, Rachel.

The DCs were on my list to play yesterday, but they got pushed out by another band who got pushed out by Dean Wareham

Day 7 - I’m Waiting for the Man
Feel sick and dirty / more dead than alive

Al Green - Al Green Get’s Next to You

There’s a cover of Light My Fire, by The Doors, on this. Not something I would’ve expected Al Green to cover but it’s actually pretty good.

Day 8 - Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol looks a scream / Hang him on my wall

I hope someone here has Liquid Swords on deck for tomorrow!

I don’t think anyone played this, so I’ll step up!

GZA - Liquid Swords

The song ‘Labels’ has tons of clever record label name drops.

OK, I'm gonna do it, not even gonna save it for the 70's day. Let's give the "Other Neil" a little love. This isn't just Red, it's Red Red (Wine). Some bonus connection with Bowie covering Neil as part of a medley with Cher that is pure 70's.

Neil Diamond ~ Hot August Night

Surfer Blood - Astro Coast

Not only does this album fit the Naitical/Red theme, but I am fairly certainly that this was the first colored vinyl I ever owned.

What an exciting moment to be alive!

Day 5 - Sound and Vision
Blue, blue electric blue / That’s the colour of my room
Play a ‘blue’ record

Surprised that no one took on this definition of “blue”.

Stooges -S/T (VMP John Cale mix)
Was supposed to be red and black marble
Had to say when VMP announce this I was in the "hell no" camp. But it is excellent. Love this version
