So... Let's see... I added 76 more songs to the active playlist last night. That is over 350 songs added in the last two weeks. Last nights additions included 1 direct artist contact, 3 from publicists, a couple of albums from Noisetrade, and some randomness from Freegal. Let's get to today's shuffle
"Jamie" by Darrin Bradbury (from NEW!!!!The Almost Great Crepe's (Demos). Song was originally on a 2005 release called Darrin Bradbury. So digging this music. We have a different song in the video playlist and the original release in the Store. I'll post the Bandcamp widget to the Demo release below)
"Ring True" by Let's Active (from Cypress. I added the Cypress/Afoot combined CD into the playlist shortly after learning of the passing of founding member Faye Hunter. It's been so good revisiting these amazing songs. This is the last song to the featured here, and it's a great one.)
"War" by Sam Morrow (from True North EP. A California singer/songwriter. This ones been in the playlist for a while. I like this.)
"Pocket Change" by St. Paul and the Broken Bones (from Greetings From St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Sweet soulful music from Birmingham, Alabama. The song seems to be called "Broken Bones and Pocket Change", but it came across as "Pocket Change" on the version I downloaded from Noisetrade.)
"How to Cook a Wolf" by Lys Guillorn (from Winged Victory. Guillorn is part of the wild and wacky crew known as The Grimm Generation. She also has a long running solo career. This is her second full length studio album - ten years after her self-titled debut. This some amazing stuff, which I will be writing about quite a lot in the weeks to come. This is reminiscent of (but not derivative of) some of the great songs by The Velvet Underground. Further proof, and Connecticut is a hotbed of awesome music.)
"Message in a Bottle" by Bhi Bhiman (from Substitute Preacher. From an album of original takes on some extremely well known music. Here Bhi takes on the classic song by The Police. This isn't my favorite cover on this album, but it is highly original. The album has some amazing covers including a killer version of the AC/DC song Highway to Hell. For reference, I included a few additional covers of the "Message in a Bottle" in the Video Playlist)
