Day 27: Eye Doctor Appointment

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters

Easy pick.

Day 28: Isn’t that novel

The Presidents of the United States of America - The Presidents of the United States of America

To me, "Peaches" comes across as a novelty. The whole album is fun and brings back childhood memories, but "Peaches" seems the most silly of the tracks presented here.

Thought you’d used this for today’s cat theme (“Kitty”) until I read it closer

Day 29: National Cat Day

Leo Takami - Felis Catus & Silence

Went with a more unique choice here. How could I not, based on the cover? One of my favorite ambient/new age records of this year! I get hints of a Miyazaki soundtrack here.
I don't have a cat to share picture(s) with you all.

I need to catch up

Day 28: Isn’t that novel
Spin something that features a novelty song (Halloween themed preferred but not required)

This one was tough and it's probably a stretch to call "What's he building?" a novelty song, but it's certainly creepy.

Day 29: National Cat Day
Spin something that reminds you of felines (bonus points if you include your furry friend in your post)



And Gandalf

And Eyeball Kid is pretty creepy too.

Super Furry Animals - Radiator

This came in the mail yesterday, and cats are super furry animals, too, just like the bear on the cover of this album, so I'm playing it!

Don't have any pets at the moment, though... working on it!

Various - Faux Real Two

I don't have any Halloween themed novelty records ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The second release from Father/Daughter Records of "FAUX SONGS BY REAL BANDS"

Sex Bob-omb! The Beets! Stillwater! Two (2!!!) songs from 90s Adam Sandler movies!!!

This is one deserves a few more

They're so underrated, no duds in their discography.

Day 29 - National Cat Day
Miles Davis & John Coltrane - The Final Tour: Paris, March 21, 1960

Just a couple cool jazz cats cooking up some tunes. My is named Miles as well so it fits really well!

Day 29: National Cat Day

I'd take a picture of my cat, but it's 4 AM and the house is dark. I'll edit this later with a pic...I'm sure it will be one of her sleeping on the top of the couch.

Finally got a non-blurry image - she doesn't like to say still when I have the phone out around her.

This is Chloe

Day 28 - Novelty



Saturday Night Fever

These songs are sorta like novelty songs?

The only album i have with a legit novelty song I'm saving for my Halloween tradition

Day 29 -



Carole King - Tapestry

My cat is asleep in my parents room currently, I'll add a pic of him tomorrow

(Side note I noticed I unintentionally played 3 albums that won the grammy for AOTY tonight )

Day 30: Trick or Treats - Spin something that is as sweet as “fun sized” butterfingers

Lianne La Havas - Lianne La Havas

Whenever I hear play something sweet I think of that sweet sweet soul music (spoiler alert: December's challenge will have a day dedicated to it ). This album is more modern neo-soul but is one of my favorites this year and the album opener is titled Bittersweet so I went with it.
