Day 27: Play some driving music

Rockin' Into The Night - .38 Special

This is THE album I put on to kick off any road trip or trip that's driving for over an hour! The title track talks about speeding into the night after all!

Day 24: Play an album that took a while for you to find.

Finally pulled the trigger on a copy of this in decent shape about two months before the reissue was announced.

C'est la vie...

The Verve - A Northern Soul

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 27: Drivin’ Music

The Doobie Brothers - The Captain and Me



“Long Train Runnin’” & “China Grove” fit the bill I think.

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Manhunter - the first version of Thomas Harris' novel Red Dragon to hit the screen...

Manhunter is fuggin awesome!

Day 26: The 'Clickers' in the Last Of Us are victims of a fungal infection of the brain. Play something that references Nature.

I never miss a chance to put on the You Am I...



You Am I - Hi Fi Way

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Manhunter is fuggin awesome!

It really is. The fact it had a pedestrian title, a cheesy kinda B-movie poster/cover and it was directed by Michael Mann of Miami Vice fame led to it being sorely overlooked.

Day 27: Play some driving music

Always loved C.F. Turner's growl and him belting it out dressed like Leif Erickson at a disco.

Floor it...



Bachman-Turner Overdrive - The Best Of B.T.O.

 

[avecigrec]

It really is. The fact it had a pedestrian title, a cheesy kinda B-movie poster/cover and it was directed by Michael Mann of Miami Vice fame led to it being sorely overlooked.

It almost feels English with its slow burn and long shots. In line with stuff like the original Get Carter or The Wicker Man. I've watched it more times than The Silence of the Lambs. Although, not since the early oughts. Mann's filmography may be spotty, but he really nailed it with Manhunter and with  Heat.

This scene is scintillating perfection...

Day 28: Play something that you got as a great deal.

Brand new LP releases used to be a good deal before all this limited/variant/#'d/manufactured FOMO greed.

Bought this new for $7.95 in the mid 80s...

In honor of Garfield the Deals Warlock from Fantasy Costco, gonna play the only record i remember getting / being available at a Costco. They stocked it when Springsteens autobiography came out.

Bruce Springsteen ~ Chapter and Verse

 

[Turbo]

Day 28: Play something that you got as a great deal.

Big Brother & The Holding Company "Cheap Thrills" (1968 CBS; 1973 Canadian reissue)
Picked this one up for around $5 during the late 90's. Sounds great.

 

[Piratenovelist]

Day 28: Showing off with this one. My oldest made this puppet a number of years ago - Its Garfield the Deals Warlock from Fantasy Costco (from the Adventure Zone Podcast), accented with a Linda Belcher 'Boob Police' hat purchased at the con. Play something that you got as a great deal.


1970 - Creedence Clearwater Revival

This set has both Cosmos Factory and Pendulum on it. I paid $3 at a thrift store for this and the sound is fantastic!

Day 24: Play an album that took a while for you to find.

Money Mark - Mark's Keyboard Repair

This one was one my Discogs wantlist for years but eventually found a copy at my local.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 25: Tarantino movies are known for their song choices being iconic. Play a song thats closely associated with a Movie / Movie Scene.

Brian Eno - Another Green World

“The Big Ship” was used effectively during the climax of two separate 2015 movies, Me, Earl, and The Dying Girl, and The End Of The Tour respectively.

Day 27: Play some driving music

Meat Puppets - Live In Montana

This live album by The Meat Puppets is a rollicking good time which is important if you are driving across a giant state such as Montana.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 28: Play something that you got as a great deal.

Blur - Blur

Even in 2016, this was a steal for under $5.00.

Day 28: A Great Deal
