The February Record Spin Challenge - It's All Connected, Maaaannnnn

24. Play something in a different format (physical or digital) than yesterday’s pick.

I'll go with a DVD.

At the time, 12-31-2004, this was GBV's farewell show.

Not many DVDs come with a fold out poster. This one was the setlist.

And yes, folks - that's a 61 song setlist. Played every damn one of 'em.......and an additional 8...

25. Play an album that’s more of a crowd-pleaser than yesterday’s.

In my live music lovin' mind, I can't really think of anything more crowd pleasing than a 69 song live set. Granted, the crowd that could hang with that would be small. I'll go with a record with more mass appeal...

Released 48 years ago. A Top 5 Zeppelin song for me...

Yeah, Maya is just in the middle of it all.

Did you know the other female former member of the Rentals is now a hard right Republican Iowa congresswoman?

25. Play an album that’s more of a crowd-pleaser than yesterday’s.

Weezer - Pinkerton

Weezer pleased the crowd more than the Rentals. They were never the same without Matt Sharp. Which now reminds me of this Onion article:

Day 25 Play an album that’s more of a crowd-pleaser than yesterday’s

The National "Alligator" - I've seen this band numerous times and the crowd always seemed pleased with their performance! I live north of the boarder so most hip hop show either never happen or start at like 2am, rapper and 100 hype men hit the stage, scream over a track or three, shit on the soundman and bounce! I still leave pleased!

Note: I'm old and haven't been to a hip hop show in ages! I also only really like shows that start on time and end before 11!!!

23. Play something that uses rhythm in a similar way to yesterday’s album.

Various – Impulsive! Revolutionary Jazz Reworked

Like Wajatta this uses mostly 4/4 electronic beats - in this case, to create contemporary remixes of classic songs from the Impulse! catalogue.
