Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Rebel Child in a Gilded Cage Mix

Here go again - promise of change (for the better) on the horizon. Refreshed and revitalized (at least for the moment). And, I'm ready to get into the music shuffle for another week...




Chronic Town - the first EP from Athens, Georgia own R.E.M. - is going to be 30 years old this year. We start out with the song featured in the live performance video above called 1,000,000. You can grab the whole Chronic Town EP plus a slew of early rarities from the Dead Lead Letter Office album - by clicking on the album cover below.  It'll cost you less than $10 from Amazon.

 

Beat Rodeo were a massively underrated band from the 80s.  They released a couple of albums on I.R.S. Records.  I first caught up with them on an episode of the classic show I.R.S. Records Presents The Cutting Edge hosted by Peter Zaremba of the Fleshtones. 

Our song today comes from the  band's Home in the Heart of the Beat LP.  Song for an Angry Young Man. Purchase and download the album by clicking the album cover below (Amazon.com):

 

Richard Thompson has been making great music for over 40 years now.  Today's song comes from his 2007 release, Sweet Warrior.

It's a track called Dad's Gonna Kill Me.  Purchase and download Sweet Warrior by clicking the album cover below (Amazon.com)

Finally, we jump into the near present with a track from the wildly popular and critically acclaimed album 21 by Adele.

The track is called I'll Be Waiting.  You can get 21 by clicking the album cover below and purchasing and downloading the album.(via Amazon.com)
