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.

Bleach Everything - Brent Eyestone, Graham Scala, Kelly Posadas, & Ryan Parrish

Can't remember what this came with, but never gave it a go so broke it out for today.

Edit: Just remembered, it came as a bonus in a This Will Destroy You bundle.

The Low Anthem - Oh My God, Charlie Darwin





From what I can recall, this is the only Flexidisc that I have available. I’m sure my mom’s got an old Smurfs song from a cereal box in her attic, though

Flexidisc from Bob Magazine #44

Flaming Lips - Life On Mars (Spector Mix) / Lemonheads - Confetti (acoustic demo). To my knowledge this Lips version has never been released anywhere other than on this flexidisc

Psymon Spine "Drums Valentino" (2021 Northern Spy, from Charismatic Megafauna dinked edition)
I have three flexi-discs, one by The Raconteurs, another by Tame Impala and this one. All three are the same type of square orange format. This one sounds surprisingly ok. Not great, but also no pops and clicks. Excellent album too if you like modern takes on new wave/synthpop.

I can’t put my hands on a Flexi disc (although I’m sure I have one somewhere), so I will go with “unusual features”. This is a Prince 45 RPM picture disc with a small spindle hole, instead of the regular wide cutout. “1999” on one side, “Little Red Corvette” on the other. The only 7” picture disc I have. And, yeah, with the small drill hole, it’s clearly a bit off center when playing.

I am afraid to look that up.
