Happy Labor Day! Today’s Random Album of the Day is Moon Food from Unbunny. This is Indie Pop or Folk Rock. Indie Folk is aptly descriptive here.
Anyhow this is the second Unbunny album to make the Random Album of the Day. I like them for some reason. Though I prefer them when they are more stripped down than they are on “Whispers” for example.
Rating: 8.0
Favorite Track(s): “February Secret” starts out dramatic but it’s a good song. “You Run Like a Girl” I like though it has some personal backstory as a song. “Are You Cautious? / Design Flaw” is great. Unbunny with female vocals really takes a step up for me.
Keep or Trash: Keep.
Background
Every day, or nearly every day anyhow, I will randomly select an album from my collection of digital music, listen to it, and share it here. – Jayne
My wife and I are board gamers and we gamify nearly everything in life. This includes our music listening. We use a dice catapult to roll dice and then use the dice results to pick our vinyl listens. So why not do something similar for the blog?
I have made the randomizer table I use for picking the album of the day available! What? It’s a simple table but uses some weird dice. If you are not familiar, if you say D30 that means a 30 sided die. These are the dice the randomizer table uses: D30, D4, D8, D10, D12, D14, and D20. The D14 and D30 are unique but you can buy cheap packs of dice with those in them off the internet.
The basic steps are to 1) roll the D30. That picks the starting letter or if it’s a number. 2) Then use the chart roll the die associated with the first letter to pick the second letter. If you get “Other” that means numbers or some other weird character. If none of those exist re-roll. 3) Once you have the second letter you can use that to roll for a third letter if needed. 4) That should get you down to a few artists and from there you pick dice based on the number of artists. 5) finally for the artist selected you roll a die for the number of albums listed. Then you have your Random Album to listen to….
