[TenderLovingKiller®]

Tattoo You, Ghost In The Machine, Nightclubbing and Trust, off the top of my head.

Edit: Beauty and the Beat

I am not saying there weren’t any good records I am just saying overall IMO the highlights were few and far between.

It's no 1979, that's for sure.

Day 13: “Time” - an album from your year of birth
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Architecture & Morality
Released: 6 November 1981

I spent a good portion of my football watching time contemplating which album (of my very few options) to choose for this one. Basically I had The Stones - Tattoo You, Prince - Controversy and this to choose from. I went with OMD mainly because Prince has been played already, and I just listened to Tattoo You last week. Also OMD is fucking great and don’t get enough props for their brilliant run of albums released during the first half of the 1980s.

Day 14: “X-Files”.. play a great 10 track album

I'm going with a 10-track record from this year that blew me away and resides in (at least) my top-10 thus far. She's got an amazing voice, the lyrics are powerful, and the whole package just really works for me.

Johanna Warren - Chaotic Good



This is the most intense song on the album and I read some interesting things about her decision to not worry about maintaining the "prettiness" of her voice to express herself on this cut.

Nearly at the half way point , have a good day all from the sunny Midlands

Day 14: “X-Files”

I have an original pressing, but with the "Stormwatch 2" compilation that was released for RSD in the mail, I figured I should get this reissue, too. I do enjoy most of Steven Wilson's new mixes...for Jethro Tull, King Crimson, and XTC.

I was going to pick the first random album generated by Discogs, but I looked though the "need to play" pile first and found this one.

Jethro Tull ‎– Stormwatch
Chrysalis ‎– 0190295400873, 1979/2020

Fiona Apple - When The Pawn (Epic, 2020 VMP Exclusive Pressing)

Frantically searching through discogs and counting each tracklist until I came across this one! Was beginning to think there was no such album with 10 tracks!!!

I saw that this one had 10 tracks, but decided to leave it for someone else to play.

Creedence Clearwater Revival "Willie and The Poor Boys" (1969 Fantasy Records, Analogue Productions 2014 reissue)

In the mood for a little CCR this morning. The Turbo abides.

Day 14 - X Files



Supertramp - Breakfast in America

Originally I made a post saying billy joel would be my album for today but then it hit me that I REALLY wanna listen to this album! I tried deleting my last post before anyone saw it but @BjorgenFjorgen somehow saw it like seconds after I posted it lol

David Gray - White Ladder



10 songs spread across 2 LP’s at 45RPM. VMP got this one right! While everyone knows the smash hit Babylon, White Ladder also includes favorites like Please Forgive Me, My Oh My, This Year’s Love, and a great cover of Soft Cell’s Say Hello Wave Goodbye.

Day 14 - X-Files

This one hasn’t gotten too far from my TT since I got it last month. Kind of a breezy 10 tracks, for a Dylan album at least.

Day 12: “Do the funky Gibbon”...Play anything ..as long as it’s FUNKY and a GOODY.

Shinyribs - Okra Candy
