I am honored to host this week’s
#fridaymusicchallenge with the theme “the most unusual record in your collection.” I’ve already seen so many incredibly cool, and unusual records shared! Collecting weird, and unusual records that I’m sure will not be included in my friends’ collections is one of my greatest joys in life! Vinyl is art, and one’s art collection should reflect their personality…
…I am a proud Kentuckian, born and raised! So when my friend
@tinyhowdy sent me a advertisement reel of this record, I knew I had to have it!
@ale8one is a legendary soft drink (think a more molasses-y ginger ale) made, and bottled right here in Kentucky! I always enjoyed popping open a bottle with my friends on hot summer days growing up.
This unusual record consists of some lo-fi, guitar-riff based music on Side A, with actual recorded “found sounds” recorded from the Ale-8 One bottling factory. Side B is simply more sound recordings from the factory that act as a blue collar, factory-life meditation. This record was created by
@powerfulgrams and I’m so glad it exists. It’s an excellent conversation piece, especially for us Kentuckians. And how cool is the bottle cap for the center label?!
I’ve got plenty more weird, and eclectic vinyl to share in the future, but I felt like this one really fit the theme perfectly, with a personal KY touch!
Thank you for having me on as a host
