Day 1 - The opening track
Play an album that contains the corker opening track for your mixtape.
Counting Crows - August And Everything After
“Round Here” is a sneaky good lead off it slowly builds and is fun to sing along to.

Day 3 - Sequence it how you want it
Play an album that has been released with different tracklists
The Replacements - Don’t Tell A Soul
Rhino has released a few rejiggered Replacements albums including Dead Man’s Pop, which like Tim is probably the superior version of these albums.

Day 4 - Philips
Play something that includes someone named Philip or Phil.
The Grateful Dead - Go To Heaven
Phil Lesh has been slapping’ the bass since the beginning. This isn’t my favorite Dead studio album but “Althea” improves anything it’s on, including this mixtape.

All this talk of metals can only mean one thing… play something “metallic”
Danzig - Danzig
Play a Danzig’s “Mother” immediately following Grateful Dead’s “Althea” is the variety that I covet in a good mixtape. Gotta keep listeners on their toes.

Day 4 - Philips
Play something released on Philips records. Or play something that includes someone named Philip or Phil. Or Lou.
Phill Niblock - Nothin' to Look at Just a Record
Not quite "Phil," but close enough.
Phill Niblock was a videographer, filmmaker, and composer focusing his work on the avantgarde, several of which were associated with "deep listening." His compositions have influenced many, including Oren Ambarchi, Tim Hecker, and Tashi Wada. Phill was invited by Tashi and Julia Holter to attend the funeral of Yoshi Wada (Tashi's father), who was also an avantgarde composer in his own right. This composition is two sidelong tracks, both featuring deep, dissonant, heavy droning trombones. Safe to say that I wouldn't include either track in a mixtape.
He passed away in early January this year. Rest in peace, Phill Niblock.

El Groupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez - Cryptomnesia
The jacket for this album is completely metallic with a shiny silver coat and only the title of the album in raised letters. It's very slick looking. Plus it leans toward the metallic sounds of electric freak out jams.

I got around to spinning my copy and I'm really liking the evolution in their sound. Grian honed his chops on his solo record and sings a bit more now. My LP was supposed to be 45rpm, but it still sounds pretty great as a 33.

For a bit, I thought you were doing all Bowie for the month, then I realized that actually it's everybody adding some Bowie to their mixtape.

Ahh, scooped.
I have the second release and the remastered one, still can't find a replacement for the OG I had back in the day.
I'm glad you agree about the resequencing; I always thought 'Theme for the Scientist of the Invisible' was a GREAT way to open the album.

All this talk of metals can only mean one thing… play something “metallic”
The Unforgiving - Within Temptation
Song For The Playlist - Iron
Since both Gold and Silver were taken I thought I'd add some Iron to the Mix!
