Day 31: Diamond Dogs

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in

Play a lullaby (interpret this any way you want)

Metallica - Self-titled

‘Enter Sandman’ references the “Momma’s gonna buy you a mockingbird” lullaby with the lyric “Hush little baby don’t say a word, and never mind that noise you heard.”

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

PEARL CHARLES MAGIC MIRROR (2021 Kanine Record)
Going literal with todays' challenge. Blue record. This is a great little pop record from 2021. Owes a clear debt to that late-70's pop sound that blends country, rhythms, soulful singing and rock seamlessly - think Fleetwood Mac. It's been a bit of a sleeper hit for me as I keep turning back to it. It has yet to be filed in my storage cubes and has been in my rotation bin for over 6 months now.

I pulled up a list of all time great countrypolitan records this evening at work to load up the ol Spotify queue. For some reason, this was on there, I mostly fits abbaesque outliers aside. I REALLY like this.
