Day 1: New Beginnings

So last year, I started on my new beginning. We decided in July of 2023 not to wait and instead move in together because life is too short to not go for it. This was the record that we bought at the show we went to right before we officially moved in together.

Julia Jacklin - Pre Pleasure

So the album you bought before miving in together is called " pre pleasure" ? If that is not a good omen I don't know what would be
 
Day 2 - Soundtrack

The Connection Soubdtrack
Honestly, I have never seen the movie but bought it because Ireally wanted the mash-up of This Bitter Earth / On The Nature Of Daylight by Dinah Washington/Max Richter on vinyl which only is on the CD Version of blue notebooks, but this alsk has Serge Gainsbourg, Velvet Underground, lykkeLi, townes van zandt etc . So a pretty great tracklist

Day 3: @Kris hosted our November 2021 challenge, focusing “days of the month”. November 3rd is when Daylight Savings time ends.
Play an extra-long album to fill in that extra hour of your day.

Ork Records: New York, New York (4lps)
While for most people Numero Group is primarily known for its compilations of obscure soul records, for me they are hands down the best compiler of American indie/punk from the late 70s to the 90s.

Day 1 -
  • New Beginnings. Post an album that is associated with new beginnings. Or, look back in your post history to see the first album you posted about on N&G, and play that album.
Looked back and saw this was in the first pack of fresh grabs I posted after the move here, and I know how much you all love this cover!

Kevin Morby - Oh My God

So while I was an undergrad, during my summers back home in the eastern Ontario town I lived in, I worked for a French community radio station on weekends. And by "work", I mean volunteered. I'd go in on weekends late morning to early afternoon and basically played French or instrumental music content since our town was only served by English stations. I did very little talking, and mostly had help from others with on-air voice, but I selected the tunes. Anyway, I played a song by French band Niagara. They're punky and a bit energetic, but not too far out. Like not metal or anything. While this was playing on air, the fucking station director calls me and tells me the little old ladies listening to the station would find that too much for them. I was livid. Was that all they wanted as an audience? I mean, the town had a French high school with 1,500 students and a French community college (the station was at the college). Long story short, I knew he was an Enya groupie, so I played a whole Enya CD to close out my shift and never went back. It's funny because I never really walk out on things because of principles like that. I can usually find middle grounds. But that guy was such a douche when he called me. That whole incident still gives me Enya PTSD to this day.
