Ross' Picks:
The Honorary Title
I have been a big fan of this band for years & have been recently listening to their entire catalog, along with Jarrod's new band "Mourners" which recently put out some singles on Spotify & iTunes.
Green Jelly- Cereal Killer Soundtrack
I am a big fan of documentaries, music related ones in particular. A friend of mine
recently suggested that I check out one about Green Jelly, known for their 90s hit "Three Little Pigs". It was one of the most interesting docs I have seen in quite some time - I only really knew them from that one song, but the story behind the history & future of the band is really what got me sucked in. Since the band's rebirth a few years ago, the band uses a franchise concept where the lead
singer & founder, essentially a weekend warrior in his 50s, connects with artists and fans around the world to join him on stage. Each tour consists of a different line up, many of the people are fans of the band growing up. That is just the tip of the iceberg - Bill, along with his story, is one of a kind & the definition of living the American dream & doing things your own way, on your own terms.

Black Panther: The Album - Music From and Inspired By
There are no words I can conjure up to describe how I feel about this masterpiece. Kendrick Lamar has created one of the best soundtracks I've come across [I'm a sucker for a good soundtrack]. From start to finish, the album just flows perfectly. Let me say this now - Kendrick Lamar is a genius + this album will show up in a plethora of Top Ten Lists for 2018. I'm also hoping that when it comes to award season, this album will get multiple nods + walk home with a few goodies. Do yourself a favor + listen to this album, then go + pre-order the album on vinyl.
That Thing You Do! Soundtrack
Since my fiancé + I got engaged, I've been trying to be mindful of adding songs I want for our wedding to a playlist that I need to go through to see what we will play. I added the title track, then dove back into this album [which I usually do at least three our four times a year]. This album is still phenomenal upon every single listen + I am pretty sure I listened to it half a dozen times this week.

Ross' Pick
The Danny Elfman & Tim Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box: It may not be vinyl, but it is truly one of the nicest collectible art pieces in my collection. Its a beautiful box set that features expansions of the 13 original scores that Elfman has composed for Burton's iconic films. It includes 16 CDs, each packaged with artwork by Burton. Over 19 hours of music - 7 hours of that being previously-unreleased masters, demos, work tapes and other rarities.
Michele's Pick
Justin Timberlake - Man of The Woods
I have to admit, I wasn't totally sold on this upon hearing the first single, "Filthy." I probably wouldn't have sought this out so soon, but it literally popped up on the screen when I had opened Spotify, so I decided to give it a shot. GOOD THING, because its amazing and I just ordered the Target Exclusive Orange Vinyl.
WWLT: NOVEMBER 2016
Having discussions with people about what music they are listening to is one of my favorite conversation starters. I have discovered a multitude of artists + albums simply from having a conversation...
