Day 5 - Making Flippy-Floppy

I'm sure there are actual flexi-discs knocking around but they're likely things we got when my aunt was helping with Vacation Bible School {I think they were just there and we were interested, they were not new at the time of VBS} and I'd feel weird playing them and they may all be unplayably scrunched up anyways, not like I exactly expected to play them.

I also considered sarcastically playing a dynaflex LP, but nah.

So I went with one of my more well-known Record Store Day finds, an acoustic version of “I Love You, Honeybear” by

Father John Misty - “I Loved You, Honeybee”

If anyone took my pick this was my back up! Love this release and brings up great memories of my first RSD
 
Day 5 - “Making Flippy Floppy”
Check it out. Still don't make no sense. Makin' flippy floppy.
Do you have some flexi discs? Take them out and play them. If not, play some other unusual record format from your collection. A 10”? An oddly shaped record? A record that references old computer floppy discs? A record with other unusual features? The theme is flexible. Literally.

So who's going to play Power Corruption & Lies or the Blue Monday 12" single? Thought it would have been played by now.

I fully expected I'd be playing a 10" for this prompt (I have a possibly unreasonable love for the 10" format!) but then I remembered that I have a single-sided 7" which is not something I've really seen in the wild.

As a bonus, this is one of a very small handful of signed records I own.

Day 6 - “Found A Job”
If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right.
It’s labour day in Canada & USA. Play music that celebrates work in general or is thematic to the work you do.

I work in I.P. in the biotechnology fields.

Workers of the world, lay down your tools

Jawbox - Tools & Chrome ep

The first Jawbox release. A split between Discord and DeSoto records. Nice slice of melodic hardcore, though not their best work by a long shot.

As a sociologist the title track captures the motivation I have to cultivate in me and my students to keep researching this ever more fucked up world. Until I find that better world I keep sending messages in bottles in the hope that one day someone will find one when they need it most and know there were others who tried even if we failed.

As professional dance choreographer this album really speaks to me.


Edit: for those that doubt my skills; Here’s an example of me working through the holidays to ensure Lorde would have a kick ass stage show for her upcoming 2022 tour…

What’s amazing is that this video was not made using the boomerang looping app; this is the actual dance and IT NEVER ENDS! If you watch long enough, someone eventually takes the tree down, but he just keeps dancing. Such commitment to the art.

Ariel Sharratt & Mathias Kom - Never Work
20210906_095852.jpg

Work is changing. Robots are replacing us. Capitalism is fracturing. With their second duo album "Never Work," Ariel Sharratt and Mathias Kom (of Canadian garage-folk band The Burning Hell) ask what work songs might sound like in a future where the nature of labour itself is so uncertain. Accenting the acoustic elements of old-school folk revivals with electronic interference, Never Work takes cues from labour activists and Situationist pranksters to explore the gig economy, side-hustles, tech feudalism, class war, unionized digital assistants, rebellious self-service checkout machines, and fully automated luxury communism. Some are songs about workers, some are songs for workers, but most are both at once. Simultaneously earnest and wry, the songs on Never Work are a protest playlist for our collective journey towards oblivion or the beach.
