Today we continue our recap of this week's list with songs 10-13:

10. "Ode to Rannva" by Mark W. Georgsson

First up today, we have a singer-songwriter from Scotland - whose music combines Celtic and Nordic influences into the realm of country, Americana, and folk. Nashville readers will appreciate he opened for Chance McCoy of Old Crow Medicine Show in Glasgow. 

11. "Keep Dancing" by Sylvie Simmons

Next up, we have the opening track from Blue on Blue - the long-awaited new album by singer-songwriter and author Sylvie Simmons. The album was produced by Howe Gelb. Simmons is the author of the Leonard Cohen bio, I'm Your Man. This track is extraordinary. 

12. "Inventing Sports" by Ryan Allen and His Extra Arms

Next up, we have a quarantine album by Detroit singer-songwriter Ryan Allen of the band Extra Arms. Song Snacks Vol. 1 is the name of this surprise release. The album was written, sung, played, recorded and mixed by Allen. The songs are short and to the point. Great stuff. 

13. "Manbird" by Anton Barbeau
 

We close out this segment of music with the title track from the forthcoming double album from this psychedelic singer-songwriter who was raised in Sacramento and is now based in Berlin. The album was recorded in Berlin, Oxford, Paris, and California, and Barbeau tried to work with as many Sacramento musicians as possible including Michael Urbano and Larry Tagg who were the rhythm section of Bourgeois Tagg.  A great way to close out this segment of our playlist.

Tuesday Morning Shuffle

 "Contradictions" by Petter Carlsen (single)

First up, we have a recent single from Norwegian singer-songwriter Petter Carlsen. Dig this track.

"A song in Latin about the importance of comfortable shoes" by Short-Haired Domestic (single)

We previously featured the Hindi version of this track by the musical project featuring producer and musician Tim Friese-Greene in collaboration with his partner, musician and songwriter Lee Friese-Greene. Tim Friese-Greene is best known perhaps for his work with Talk Talk. 

"Suits" by Destijl (from Greatest Hits Vol 2)

We next have a track from the new album by the band French/Manchester indie/dance band that originally formed in 1995. This new album is not volume two of their greatest hits, nor is it even a greatest hits compilation. It is, though, a wonderful new album. 

"Pride" by Living Colour (from Time's Up)

Next up, we have a track from the 1990 second album by Living Colour. 

"Grief" by Walking on Landmines (from Heavy Callous Heart)

We close out the shuffle with our first listen to this April release by the dissonant hardcore/noise punk band from Memphis. I learned of this from a Nashville punk Facebook Group.
