A hauntological record dealing with dealing with Migraines, Anxiety, Depression, and Addiction. Also it’s got ghosts right in the title.


Thanks for leading the way on this challenge @LeSamourai it was fun, thought provoking, and I learned a new word or two.

See you guys in the November Challenge Thead @Kris is putting together!
 
30. Timorous - (adj.) showing or suffering from nervousness, fear, or a lack of confidence

Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale

Apparently, for three minutes and twenty-nine seconds at least, Stevie suffered from the timorousness of being "Too Shy To Say."

This house is a ghost house where your spirit moves about
[An ache in yours] through my mind because your body cancelled out
And now, naked here, I wait for you
My flesh a naked window here waits for you
Because, my love, you are not here


Thanks for a really cool month @LeSamourai - this was way fun!

Spoon "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" (2007 Merge; 2017 10th anniversary reissue)
"The Ghost Of You Lingers" has a hauntological theme. Also, as an aside, this pressing is phenomenal (pressed at Pallas, cut by Chris Bellman).

Oh man, what a great album! I think they just put out a new record, no?
 
Thanks so much for organizing @LeSamourai ! Tough challenge, but lots of fun. Made me dig deep. Loved the originality!

Here's what your challenge looked like for me this month:

Untitled Chart (1).png

I found a Topsters replacement so I could resume doing these fun calendar charts. It's a little clunkier but it works. Seems to actively being worked on so improvements should keep coming.
For those interested: Chartr.
 
@Kris November Challenge is up…

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

I don't know if all of these will work but really anything will do...Internet bonus points if you play the album that has the song titles. Title comes from "Love is a Catastrophe" by The Pet Shop Boys Dia de los Muertos "Day of the Dead" Play a record to pay respects to someone who has passed...

The Avalanches - We Will Always Love You

I picked this one for the cover, which seems ghostly... but then I thought about how sample-based music, especially if the samples are old, is definitely a kind of return/haunting. For bonus points, the opening track is titled "Ghost Story."
