The Needles & Grooves May 2024 Omniversal Spin Challenge Arkestra

What’s the cocktail?

My drink of choice is Empress Gin martini with a splash of lemon. I chose this for the floral explosion of the dandelion seeds on the cover.

Empress Gin martini. It is pH sensitive, so normally it is purple, but when acid (like lemon juice) is added, it turns more pink and delicious.

Day 2

Bombadil - Tarpits and Canyonlands

The build of the opening song in this album is the folk pop equivalent of the prompt song.

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 2: “The Second Stop Is Jupiter”

The Splendids ft. Eamon - “Cry Baby Cry”



A really good doo-wop 45 that came out earlier this year!

May 1 - The Beginning Of

Yes - Close to the Edge

I picked this because it marked the very beginning of my vinyl collecting journey. I had been wanting to start a record collection for years. One day I just decided “today is the day” and I hopped over to one the local shops and walked out with this and three other albums.

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

May 3 - Sun Song

Midnight Sun....




The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger - Midnight Sun

 

[jt4527]

How does that Csihar sound on vinyl? It's one of those records that I think any pops or crackle would ruin my listening experience.

Thankfully, it is a decent pressing and nice and quiet

May 3 – Sun Song
Marlene Ribeiro – Toquei No Sol
Google tells me this translates to "I Touched The Sun", and who am I to argue?!

Empress Gin martini. It is pH sensitive, so normally it is purple, but when acid (like lemon juice) is added, it turns more pink and delicious.

I love Empress Gin, sometimes I'll have just on a cube. It's my current favorite gin no question.

With the price of nearly every damn record now, I regret not paying for this when I could.

May 2 - The Second Stop Is Jupiter

Dabeull "Analog Love" (2024 Roche Music)
The Jupiter-8 is featured on a few tracks of this fine recently released boogie funk record. For fans of Dam-Funk, L'Impératrice, The Gap Band, Zapp & Roger, and the Bar-Kays. Such a fun record.

[jamieanderson1968]

A bit of a catch up as I had a meeting last night was too tired to play anything

May 3 - Sun Song

VU - Ride into the Sun
This song immediately popped into my brain when I read today’s prompt. Probably about as far from Sun Ra as you can get.

May 2 - The Second Stop Is Jupiter

The Awakening - Hear, Sense and Feel
Had to dig a bit for this one as the prompt didn't make anything jump to mind. Has a song called Jupiter.

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Day 2 - The Second Stop is Jupiter



The 5th Dimension - The Age of Aquarius

“When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars”

 

[Hemotep]

May 3 – Sun Song

From the bells at the end of Sun Song to the bells at the start of Mother.

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Day 3 - Sun Song



St Vincent - Daddy’s Home

Really couldn’t think of anything better than this. That’s fine though because I do love this album
