November 2021 Vinyl Spin Challenge Thread: High wind through the trees, falling November leaves, a weak sun hanging low, summer seems so long ago...

National Accounting Day
Play an album with themes of money.

A record revolving around, on the surface, how greed degraded the music business...

“As we celebrate mediocrity, all the boys upstairs want to see / How much you’ll pay for what you used to get for free.”

Tom said it also digs deeper...

“I kept seeing these billboards for radio stations that said, ‘No Talk.’ And I thought, ‘God, that’s sad,” Petty said in Conversations With Tom Petty. “And then I saw it as a parallel, a metaphor, for what was going on in the world. So, I kind of devised this kind of moral play. If the record is about anything, it’s about morals – and how far do we go in the name of money, and what’s gained and what’s lost.”

Damn, I miss Tom Petty.

Song Title "Rose Hip November"
Play a folk album.

This one has been sitting in my "to be cleaned" box for like three months now and I've been dying to play it, this is the perfect excuse to do so (plus I'm up to this one alphabetically anyway) for that cleaning. I consider them a spiritual predecessor to some of the great groups of the present and recent times in their genres today (Boygenius, I'm With Her, case/lang/viers, Pistol Annies, Wild Flag) and in a sub-segment of music that's occupied by men, an all-woman supergroup feels like a huge accomplishment. Like seriously, what a darn sausage fest.

It may be more country in the end but it's a broad genre...

(Two edit notes, first Lee is right about the Highwomen who are probably the spiritual successors here, and second, if VMP Country wants a great pressing option, Trio II is prohibitively pricy and sitting with three artists you know they like...)
