Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - The Icestorm Cometh (or Not) Mix

Tweet #E2TG


Here we go... I'll plug the Sandy Hook single again.  Really, check this out and buy it.  $1.29 - just don't super-size your fast food meal for one day. ;-)  

 

Our shuffle is all over this this a.m. - check it out - after the... wait for it... jump:

 

1.  Song: Ugly  Artist: Garrison Starr Album: Eighteen Over Me (1997) - We listened to a live version off a Noisetrade release - Awesome singer-songwriter originally from Mississippi)

2.  Song: Birmingham  Artist: Mikey Wax  Album: The Traveler EP (2010) - (Long Island based singer-songwriter - attended college in Nashville, one our early "Bands" of the Week, one of his songs - Counting on You - was an elimination song on Season 9 of So You Think You can Dance, spread his music through a series of house concerts during the summer of 2010 and 2011)

3. Song: PT Cruiser Artist: O Children  Album: Apnea (2012) - (London based Alternative band - my first time hearing this actually - I like it - what do you think?)

4.  Song: Alright  Artist: Adam Carroll Album: Far Away Blues (2005) - (Texas singer-songwriter - Adam Carroll is up there with some of the great country/folk/whateveryouwanttocallit singer-songwriters.  It does not seem like hyperbole to through around names like Townes and Prine and Dylan)

Couldn't find a video for Alright - here's Screen Door 

5.  Song: Nobody Does it Better (Carly Simon cover)  Artist: Radiohead Album: Covers by Radiohead (???) - (aka The Spy Who Loved Me - Simon's version is on the Amazon widget above - pretty straight ahead cover by Radiohead - Thom Yorke is not Carly Simon, but this is a pretty sweet cover nonetheless)

6.  Song: From the News  Artist: The Joy of Painting  Album: Asterisk (2012) - (Another past Band of the Week, TJOP promise new music for 2013)

 
7.  Song: Kick It In (Studio Demo) Artist: The Replacements Album: Pleased to Meet Me (Expanded Edition) (2008 reissue, 1987 original album) - (oh the joys of the expanded reissues, The 'mats Kick It In - in fine form)

A different Replacements song with Kick in the title - live from '81

 

8. Song: It Happened Today  Artist: R.E.M. Album: Collapse Into Now (2011) - (from what ended up being the Athens-based swan-song)

9.  Song: Big Blue Train  Artist: Whiteboy James and the Blues Express Album: Extreme Makeover (2011) - (California Blues - my first time hearing this - first thought was hell yeah, then The Blasters came to mind. Turns out James played some with Dave and Phil Alvin at some point.  I'm a fan now)
