Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Walking Wogs Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Greetings from Nashville!  It's Monday, and here at E2TG we are mixing things up a bit.  Typically, we shuffle up our "Rolling" playlist (meaning I add new songs and delete songs off the playlist as they come and go), this playlist is a working subset of all of the songs on my MP3 player. (Which in turn is a subset of all the songs in my music collection, but that is another story).  Anyway, today's shuffle comes from all of the songs on my MP3 player.  We'll get back to our playlist tomorrow, but I thought it might be interesting to occasionally open up our shuffle and see what happens.

 

So - let's jump to it!

So, here we go... after several months of waiting, I finally have a 32GB card in my phone and to celebrate I added a random 20GB (left room to grow) sampling of my entire digital library and then I randomly shuffled that 20GB and the resulting Morning Music Shuffle is after the jump:

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Hot Tin Cat on a Roof Mix

 

 We're short on time today so straight to it.  American Man is the title track from Brother Howe's latest album.  You can get a free download of this song and the band's cover of a Weezer song at the band's website.

 

Ramona Falls is the band featuring former Menomena remember Brent Knopf.  The band's new album Prophet is due out May 1, but you can grab a free download of the first track Sqworm using the widget above.

The Great American Canyon Band are a husband and wife team from Chicago.  They recorded their first songs were recorded in a gutted house in Chicago with no running water and just two old guitars.  Use the Soundcloud player to access their music.  Our song today was Burn.

 

I was late getting on the Cornershop bandwagon, but I love everything I've heard from them.  The Singh brothers and company have been making music for over 20 years. Today we have a track from the band's 1997 albume When I Was Born for the Seventh Time.  Good Shit seem to be an apt description.

Cornershop and the Double-O Groove Of Following up Judy Sucks a Lemon for Breakfast in exceedingly timely fashion -- a mere two years compared to the seven that separated that 2009 effort from 2002’s Handcream for a Generation -- Cornershop capitalize on their Indian tradition, bringing in Bubbley Kaur for a collection of pop with a Punjabi punch. The vocals and flourishes are strongly Punjabi -- songs are often sung in the language, not English as they usually are on a Cornershop LP -- but these are essentially trappings for a collection of multicultural dance-pop not too dissimilar from the group’s albums since 1997. As on Judy Sucks, this is a blessing and a curse: Cornershop’s blends are still rich and flavorful yet they have the whiff of old fashion, still tied heavily to the post-rave years of trip-hop and Brit-pop, trends they fought and embraced in equal measure. Kaur’s presence gives The Double-O Groove just enough of a different tone to make a difference -- it doesn’t feel comfortably recycled as Judy sometimes did -- yet it doesn’t quite open doors to new avenues either. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: Bubbley Kaur - Vocals

The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting: An Oral History Formed in a Minneapolis basement in 1979, the Replacements were a notorious rock 'n' roll circus, renowned for self-sabotage, cartoon shtick, stubborn contrarianism, stage-fright, Dionysian benders, heart-on-sleeve songwriting, and--ultimately--critical and popular acclaim. While rock then and now is lousy with superficial stars and glossy entertainment, the Replacements were as warts-and-all "real" as it got. In the first book to take on the jumble of facts, fictions, and contradictions behind the Replacements, veteran Minneapolis music journalist Jim Walsh distills hundreds of hours of interviews with band members, their friends, families, fellow musicians, and fans into an absorbing oral history worthy of the scruffy quartet that many have branded the most influential band to emerge from the '80s. Former manager Peter Jesperson, Paul Stark and Dave Ayers of Twin/Tone Records, Bob Mould and Grant Hart of rivals Husker Du, the legendary Curtiss A, Soul Asylum's Dan Murphy, Lori Barbero of Babes in Toyland, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, power-pop hero Alex Chilton, Craig Finn of The Hold Steady, and replacement Replacements Slim Dunlap and Steve Foley: all have something to say about the scene that spawned the band. These and dozens of others offer insights into the Replacement's workings--and the band's continuing influence more than fifteen years after their breakup. Illustrated with both rarely seen and classic photos, this, finally, is the rollicking story behind the turbulent and celebrated band that came on fast and furious and finally flamed out, chronicled by one eyewitness who was always at the periphery of the storm, and often at its eye. " T]his consistently engaging and poignant work . . . . is a] loving, appropriately ramshackle tribute to one of the most beloved rock-and-roll bands of the 1980s. . . . The band's story is an archetype of the joys and pitfalls of underground success."--"Publishers Weekly" "The Replacements were superheroes: They rescued a whole planet from '80s music. Jim Walsh's loving, engrossing oral history is the book they deserve."--Nick Hornby, author of "High Fidelity"
