[Piratenovelist]

Day 30: I think we can all agree that the Star Wars prequels would have been better in this alternate universe. Play an something that features outtakes / b-sides / alternates.


Preludes - Warren Zevon

Jordan Zevon was cleaning out some of his late father’s storage and found a trove of demo tapes. This is a semi recent compilation of those demo tapes and an interview. Was originally on CD but released first for Record Store Day on vinyl. RIP Warren I never got to see you live, but your music strikes deeply with me.

Thanks for hosting this month @imtheocean

I got too far behind to even attempt to catch up. Now I'll be spending time with horror movies over the next 2 months, so I probably won't be participating in any challenge threads until November.

Thanks @imtheocean. That was a pretty fun month - loved the photos!

So here's what my month ended up looking like with your challenges. In honor of Comicon, I played albums with illustrated/drawn elements on the cover.

See you all next month!

Hey @imtheocean thanks for putting together this months challenge. That was a fun journey through pop culture! Looks like SDCC was a blast too!

The days are getting shorter, the kids are back in school, and football is starting up. You know what that means, @Turbo is gonna take the reins for the September challenge thread.

See you guys over there tomorrow!

Day 31: After 4 long days at the con, we always close out the last day with some refreshments. Play something that references beer, or something scary

Beastie Boys "Licensed to Ill"
Much beer was poured out and drank (and mentioned on this record) during the Beasties early days, I unapologetically love this record and all its problematic lyrical content and am glad I got to grow up and watch and hear them grow up over almost 25 years...oh my! Can't wait for the 40th anniversary of this in two years!

This was a fun month! Thanks @iamtheocean for the fun prompts and sharing what looked like so much fun at SDCC over the years!

"I'm a simple person, you know
I have very small desires in life
Titties 'n beer, you know
No! what?
Titties 'n beer!
No! no man, you're joking...
Titties 'n beer, titties 'n beer, titties 'n beer...
What? no! no please... no! not that! oh no man, no!
Titties 'n beer, titties 'n beer, titties 'n beer...
No! no! no! no! no! not titties 'n beer!
Oh i can't stand titties 'n beer!...
Titties 'n beer, titties 'n beer, titties 'n beer..."
