This box set is huge and purely a novelty by one of my favorite shows, I relate to Bob pretty often 😅

The set contains 3 12” LPs (mine are on a ketchup red, mustard yellow, and pickle green with a bonus mayo white 7”, also included in the set, a hardbound lyrics book with exclusive Bob’s Burgers artwork, a soft cover sheet-music songbook, three original posters, a six-piece sticker pack, and a patch. I also got an additional lithograph art print for being one of the first however many to preorder it (I honestly forget how many there were). Pictured with this is my copy of The Bob’s Burgers Burger Book and a bonus recipe for any of you out there that might want to try it out :)

Here’s a bonus unboxing video in case you’re interested

This a continuation of @Gavaxeman 's theme from September. Pick an album and show off some memorabilia related to it!

I own this RSD unicorn thanks to @Crabbers.

The memorabilia - a RSD CRB 45 signed by Neal along with the rest of the band. I always found it sad that Neal has the most legible signature - very legible - yet he constantly struggled with the urge to erase himself. Absolutely heartbreaking.

RIP brother. I hope you found a place without pain. Thanks for everything.

Thanks for posting this! Hadn't ever heard of it but checked it out, liked it, found a good deal on a copy and it's on its way to me. Looking forward to a full listen, though of course it will be sans signatures :(
 
Day 10: And Now for Something Completely Different...Pt. II

I don’t really have a lot of artist or album-related memorabilia outside of posters, lyric booklets or whatever comes with the record, so I just decided to go with one of those today.

Harry Styles - Fine Line

Harry’s second and most recent album (his best too), which came with a giant two-sided poster of him:

William Elliott Whitmore - The Early Years

This 3 disc comp collects the first 3 (I think?) of Will Whitmore's albums. It came with this bitchin' postcard. I'm too lazy to rounds up anything more complicated 🤷🏼‍♀️
Specifically, I'm listening to Ashes to Dust.

Day 11: Veteran's Day

John Coltrane – Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album (Impulse!, 2018 First Pressing)

Coltrane served in the Navy from the 6th August, 1945, the day the first U.S. atomic bomb was dropped on Japan. He trained in New York before being shipped to Pearl Harbor and would later join the military band. Here's a photo of him during that time, looking baby faced.

If you know a veteran, play an album in their honor. Or, play an album from an artist who served.

Bruno Maderna counts counts as a veteran in that he served in the army and then switched sides and fought for the Anti-fascist Partisan Resistance, referred to by the authorities at the time as anarchists. He was extraordinarily gifted in music and composed some excellent works. But he accomplished so much in addition to that by teaching, conducting and championing new music. I think of him as like the loving and lovely mentor to composers, performers, institutions and audiences encouraging creation and exploration in music. There's a short film of him below in rehearsal, which is spellbinding (and I understand little Itallian). Watching that it's easy to believe the stories that orchestras liked working with him.

In this 1967 album The New Music he recorded with the Rome SO four fine contemporary pieces representing very different aesthetics and approaches to composition. It's a great collection available in Tidal and Spotify.

Penderecki's Threnody is also suitable for Vetarans' Day. I read a story years ago about how, presumably around 1959, Penderecki (who btw died this year) heard a performance of Xenakis' composition Metastasis broadcast on the radio in Germany that he listened to illegally in socialist Poland. This had a profound influence on him and explains his early works including this, Anaklasis and others. Picture that, the young Penderecki listening to Xenakis illegally on the radio, next time you watch Inland Empire, which features a lot of Penderecki in the soundtrack.

Karlheinz Stockhausen – Kontra-Punkte (For 10 Instruments)
Krzysztof Penderecki – Threnody For The Victims Of Hiroshima (For 52 Strings)
Earle Brown – Available Forms I (For Chamber Ensemble)
Henri Pousseur – Rimes Pour Differentes Sources Sonores

Patterson Hood wrote "The Sands of Iwo Jima" about his great uncle who served in WW2. Playing today's album for George A.

George A. was at the movies in December '41
They announced it in the lobby what had just gone on
He drove up from Birmingham back to the family's farm
Thought he'd get him a deferment there's was much work to be done
He was a family man, even in those days
But Uncle Sam decided he was needed anyway
In the South Pacific over half a world away
He believed in God and Country, things was just that way
...
When I was just a kid I spent every weekend
On the farm that he grew up on so I guess so did I
And we'd stay up watching movies on the black and white TV
We watched "The Sands of Iwo Jima" starring John Wayne
...
And I thought about that movie, asked if it was that way
He just shook his head and smiled at me in such a loving way
As he thought about some friends he will never see again
He said "I never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima"
