Day 22 - Slippery People
What's the matter with him? (He's alright.) I'll see his face (the Lord won't mind.) How do you know? (He's alright.)
Play an album by an artist that covers their face with make-up, wears a costume and/or uses a disguise.

Bob Dylan ~ Live 1975/Rolling Thunder Revue

I really want a copy of this. I've watched the concert scenes from the movie a few times and I'm just mesmerized by Dylan's performance and stage presence.

It's surprisingly inexpensive on Amazon now - $52. One of the few Dylan bootleg series I've searched out on vinyl, but easily my favorite overall Dylan period for live performances. There's a sense of passion and abandon in the arrangements where he lets everyone shine.

Day 21 – “Give Me Back My Name”
There's a word for it. And words don't mean a thing. There's name for it. And names make all the difference in the world. Some things can never be spoken. Some things cannot be pronounced.
Play an album with a cover that doesn’t include the band name nor the album title.

I forgot to post this yesterday, but it really hit the spot when I spun it last night after we had some pints...

Destroyer - Kaputt

Day 22 - “Slippery People”

This is Captain Beefheart fans making found-sound/musique concréte recordings, it's as insane as you'd expect. Nevertheless “Rest Aria” is truly beautiful. At any rate, though people had guesses this group was good enough at keeping themselves secret in spite of active touring that nobody was certain who they were until one of the members died in 2018.

Day 14 - “Radio Head”

Kinda surprised no-one went for this? At any rate, I'd play Hot Space if I had it, Yorke's called “Under Pressure” a perfect pop song, but the idea of him crooning along to “Cool Cat” is enough to keep me up at night. Greatest Hits would also be acceptable, but unlikely from me as unlike Jonny I like the deep cuts. This one will more than do, “Bohemian Rhapsody“ has been cited as a direct influence on “Paranoid Android.” I suspect you all knew that though.

Queen - A Night at the Opera
