I had a great birthday celebration at The 5 Spot.  The India Ramey Residency show was amazing with Tim Easton warming up the crowd, Wild Ponies being awesome as usual, India Ramey blowing everyone away, and a special guest appearance by the one and only Aaron Lee Tasjan.

$2 Tuesday followed.  Heard some great new music, plus Anana Kaye and her killer band, and of course Derek Hoke.

I had the pleasure of see a bunch of friends. 

I was in recovery mode yesterday, but I am back at full-strength. Remember the Featured Friday Playlist refreshes tomorrow!  Please follow the playlist on Spotify and/or check back here tomorrow.

I have added more releases to the Recent, Current, and Upcoming Release listing.  Still and probably always a work-in-progress. 

We have some classics in the shuffle today - check it out!



  Featured Friday Playlist




Thursday Shuffle:

"Lose-Win" by Eleventh Dream Day (from Moodio)

"Puppet" by The Venus Fly Trap (from Icon)

"September Gurls (Studio Rehearsal)" by Big Star (from September Gurls)

An alternate take of the song originally released on Radio City.  Author Michael Chabon called the song, "the pocket history of power pop" and "the greatest number one song that never charted."

"(Don't Go Back To) Rockville" by R.E.M. (from Reckoning)

A favorite song of mine. 

"American Dream" by Jerry Castle (from Not So Soft Landing...)

"Trouble Man (Live)" by John Mellencamp (from Recorded Live for World Cafe)

A few (maybe several) years ago, World Cafe released 100 live performances on MP3 for free for a limited time. This is one of those. 

"Solace of You" by Living Colour (from Time's Up)

"Little Black Book" by Walter Lure and the Waldos (from Wacka Lacka Boom Bop A Loom Bam Boo)

"Dumb it Down" by Stuffy Shmitt (from Industrial Love)

Resisting a comment about dumbing things down for Stuffy, but truth is Stuffy is an intelligent songwriter. And someone so weird that you never know whether he is serious about what he is saying or if he is joking.
