Day 23 - Record Store Find
Roland Kirk - Volunteered Slavery

This album is straight
He added Rahsaan to his name in 1970 apparently after hearing it in a dream, but he’s got the same great tone on this album.

Day 24 - Oktoberfest
Paul Cauthen - Room 41

This album sounds to me like it would be playing on a jukebox in a tiny bar with dusty pool tables at 11am on a Wednesday. Specifically the song Cocaine Country Dancing.

Day 25: Channel Orange
Spin an album that relates to the color orange in some way

A nice 80's bridge between punk and new wave alternative.

Agent Orange - This Is The Voice

Day 26: Paint It Black
Spin something that relates to the color black in some way

Another happy, upbeat gem from The Reids.

I love those guys...

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Munki

Black

And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black

Turn the good thing back
Kiss the good thing back
Make the good thing back
Bring the good thing back

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
Noone here is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Guess I get done wrong
Yeah, I get done wrong
Guess I get done wrong
Yeah, I get done wrong

And the black runs deep
Yeah, the black runs deep
I guess the black runs deep
I think the black runs deep

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
Noone here is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
Noone here is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Hey, you've been saved
Hey, you've been saved

And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black

And I guess I can
And I guess I can
Yeah, I guess I can
Think I guess I can

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Day 27: Eye Doctor Appointment

The Dave Brubeck Quartet ‎– Brubeck's Best (Philips, 1956 First UK Pressing)

This is good timing as this album arrived yesterday and shows Brubeck and Paul Desmond wearing their glasses on the cover.

Day 22: That's interesting
Kate Tempest - Let Them Eat Chaos

I think these childrens book like windows were an interesting idea. One is a mirrored surface.

Yowler - Black Dog In My Path

Maryn Jones is in a few really good bands (All Dogs, Saintseneca), but her solo work in Yowler is my favorite.

For all the stuff that Garcia Family Provisions sells, I'm surprised they don't have a Jerry Garcia glasses line.

Day 23 - Record Store Day
Jazz Dispensary Soul Diesel II

I pretty much only go to my local for RSD, which I haven't participated in this year. Their prices are all at least $5 more than anywhere online and when I have returned defective records there, the first question I always get is if I have a cheap turntable that won't track big warps. Used records are also always marked higher than discogs/eBay prices. Here's a great one I picked up on a RSD though.

Day 27 - Eye Doctor Appointment

LOL, that's when I go see my wife at work. Which honestly, is pretty much the only way I get to see her these days since she's insanely busy.

Anyway, this theme calls for another Elvis Costello day for me.

Elvis Costello "My Aim Is True" (1977 Columbia; 2015 reissue)

Day 24 - Oktoberfest
Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters

Alas, I am working and so I won't have a beer with it, but I think it's funny that Bill Summers is specifically credited as playing a "beer bottle" as opposed to just bottle.

I have the inside scoop that Easy E was wearing prescription Locs in this pic.
