Day 26 – The romantic mix
Play something romantic or play something by one of the bands from the “new romantics” movement of the 80’s.
Talk Talk - It’s My Life (song: Dum Dum Girl)
Talk Talk was lumped in with the New Romantics when they first started, often playing with Duran Duran. With this album they started to break away from that mould.

Day 27 – Your friend, your psychiatrist, your solace
Play a record you turn to when you need music to be your friend.
Joy Division - Substance (Transmission)
While I don’t listen to Joy Division as much any more, in my youth this cassette was a constant companion for me. Just hearing the intro to Transmission still gives me a thrill.

Day 27 – Your friend, your psychiatrist, your solace
“The mixtapes we made for ourselves were musical mirrors. The sadness, anger, or frustration you might be feeling at a given time could be encapsulated in the song selection. You made mixtapes that corresponded to emotional states, and they'd be available to pop into the deck when each feeling needed reinforcing or soothing. The mixtape was your friend, your psychiatrist, and your solace.”, David Byrne in How Music Works (2014).

Day 28 – Home Taping Is Killing Music
Famous music industry campaign from Britain – there were similar ones everywhere – to raise concerns that blank cassettes are killing album sales. Even though time has shown they were not. In came a man named Lord Sugar, who’s company released an affordable twin deck, with an advert including the cheeky bold disclaimer “This machine should only be used to copy material you have generated yourself” – the upshot being to make people aware that you could dub tapes at home. So people did and the campaign fizzled out… but I have to say their tape and crossbones logo is pretty awesome.
Play something that references pirates or bones, or that includes some sort of warning
The Decemberists - Mariner's Revenge Song
Woohoo, caught up!

Track 26
Luther Vandross - Never Too Much
Song - Never Too Much
I fucking love love songs! I had too many options for today so I let a RNG decided what to play. This track is a newer favorite but it quickly joined the ranks of not only all time favorite love songs, but favorite songs of all time in general

Track 27
Adele - 25
Song - All I Ask
I already played the album that I go to when I need a friend nowadays (Rumours) so I had to go back in time for this one. In 2015 when this album came out I was at my lowest and (at the time) darkest period of my life. This album was just the crutch I needed at that time. Experiencing my first heartbreak, feeling lost, isolated, confused and nostalgic, this album came out and made me feel seen in a way music never had before. This was the exact album I needed to hear when I was 19 in 2015 and I’ll never not feel appreciative to Adele for putting it out at the perfect time.
