That's awesome! It was a fun way of creating lists. I'm very visual (most record collectors probably are too), so I used Topsters a lot.
I don't care about people's personal beliefs per se, when they keep it to themselves or it doesn't start to permeate too much into other spheres. But in this case, Topsters started getting used as a vehicle for spreading false conspiracy theories about COVID and the pandemic, and I cannot promote that in good conscience. Specifically, if you go to Topsters, since around the 4-6th of this month, there is a box with a link promoting this stuff.
But if anyone still wants to use it, it won't offend me in any way. It's not like you can't use the program and ignore the ad box. And I'm not sure where any money comes in with this program since it's pretty bare-bones (which was it's charm, really).

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.
When there is a line in the movie of "The most beautiful thing in the world is smoking Pot and fucking on a waterbed, at the same time." and they etch this all in the deadwax, how could I not use it for this theme?
I also have a different label's release from a few years later that adds a couple more cues. This release though, while having a different track order, looks to be cut and pressed at reputable places - and I LOVE THIS LABEL.
I also already watched the movie for this season's horror/Halloween thread - HERE
Various – Pieces (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records – WRWTFWW005, 2015

Bob Dylan - Bringing it All Back Home
Some of Dylan’s lyrics are purposefully absurd and nonsensical. “Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream” is like being in the middle of a wild fever dream.

Yellow Ledbetter was the first song that came to mind for me as being famously inscrutable. This album closes with it, and also has Even Flow. Which brought me to Adam Sandlers interpretation.

Beck - Odelay
“Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look, there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leprous faces
Heads are hanging from the garbageman trees
Mouthwash, jukebox, gasoline
Pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets”
I mean, what the fuck is that!?!! Beck has filled my brain with so many nonsensical non sequiturs over my lifetime, not that I am complaining, I love them all.

Flying Saucer Attack - Land Beyond the Sun (1994 Drag City)
FSA were often lumped in with shoegazers but I think their own description of ‘rural psychedelia’ is more apt. I know there is singing on many of their songs, but I have rarely made out more than a handful of words and even then they made little sense. For me, listening to FSA is like being 12 again, lying in a field on a summers evening, looking up at the stars and listening to the crickets.

I know at least a few of these songs are about George & Jon’s relationship, but aside from that I have no idea…

I love a couple of their albums, but this is not one of them. I listened to it yesterday and put it in my trade in pile so I just snagged a picture off of discogs instead of go dig it out.
Some of these songs were good live, but just don't click on the album for me.
