Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Shorter Days Mix



Welcome to Monday.  Had a great weekend, and now it's time to face up to another work week.  Here is a fine, fine collection of music graciously presented by my cell phone's music player on "Shuffle" mode.  A video representation of the shuffle is presented at end of the post...


"Shorter Days" by Heath McNease from Fort Wayne (Songs Inspired by the Film)
 
A great song for a cool, crisp fall morning... the days are getting shorter.

"The Accelerated Life" by The Jason Drug Reaction from Down by the Pharmacy

This made me think of Douglas Coupland's 1991 novel Generation X: Tales of an Accelerated Culture.  It also made me think about how much more accelerated our culture has become.  I dig this song - it made me think about stuff...


"Corner Girl" by Abigail Washburn from City of Refuge

Another great track from this album which I was lucky enough to find a thrift store a couple of weeks back.

"Tidbit" by The Black Jesuses from Black Jesuses

The Black Jesuses are a two piece Rock band from Asbury Park, NJ.  They are cool. Check them out.

"Tout Un Beau Soir en me Promenant" by Maria McKee from Evangeline Made: a tribute to Cajun Music

This is the second of Maria McKee's two contributions to this Cajun Music tribute album.  The Video features a version of this song recorded by the archivist Alan Lomax. 

"Virgin" by Heyrocco from Deer Head Music Presents: Indie Mixtape Nashville/Mom Jeans EP

Some fun grungy/punky music from the Deer Head Music Nashville Indie mixtape.

"Til' the Seas Run Dry" by Dom Flemons from Til' the Seas Run Dry"

Another great song from ex-Carolina Chocolate Drops member Dom Flemons.  This is from a recent NoiseTrade sampler. 

"Mister Stay at Home" by David Olney from When the Deal Goes Down

I could listen to David Olney all day long.  Another awesome track from his latest album, When the Deal Goes Down.

"Rock it Up" by Blackfoot Gypsies from Dandee Cheeseball

We close out with one of the funnest (sic) and best Nashville bands around today.  I crossed out Nashville not because they aren't from here, but because I didn't want to put any qualification on the statement that they are an extremely fun and excellent band.  A ripping track from their 2011 album Dandee Cheeseball.
