Feel free to pick through any of the 4 long form Halloween theme mixes to get some ideas!

I'll admit, there's some that are more "vibe" picks than truly Halloween/spooky themed, so your milage may vary

Finished "The Bone Clocks" by David Mitchell recently... whatta book! It was a gift, gathering dust on my bookshelf for years! What a fool I've been!

Now time to find another one of his books to read! I'd only read "Cloud Atlas" prior

Holy shit! I hate to say I need to spend more time online, but EFF, had I, I would have seen this before this morning and probably been at the dang show! I bet you all tore the place down!

And "Energy" by Operation Ivy takes the last spot on the grid...

...for now... what do you say BlueSka community? We keep this going? Unlock new colors/concepts?

It was a narrow win, but the Specials seft titled album takes the white square!

But rude ones, what #ska act has the GREY album that earns the Grey square?

Mustard Plug wins the Brown square after an executive call on a tie... it was a tough call!

Now, possibly harder... what is ska's WHITE album?

28.09.2025 17:59 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 5    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 6    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Reddit convinced me it was olive green... I maintain the CD was brown, and the LP olive green due to printing discrepancies

I mean "The Green Album" was the obvious choice for the Green square, but what's ska's Blue Album?

It came down to a judgmental call w/ only 2 yellow albums getting more than a single point! I went w/ the slightly more yellow "When We Were Fearless"

What is the GREEN ska LP?

Bit which Mustard Plug album?

23.09.2025 20:31 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Such an icky cover for sure!

I think that cover comes off a little bit more brown than yellow, but a Mustard Plug album is probably a winning call!
