Thursday Early Afternoon Music Shuffle - I Cannot Remember Mix



 I am so very short on time.  My Pre-Shuffle and Shuffle were pushed back due to an appointment.  Still I heard some great music, and I will share it with you here via a YouTube Playlist.

First, our old friends from Vancouver - Pigeon Park are back. They have an EP coming soon called Black Widow.  Here we offer up a video of the song Come Down Slow from that album.

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - I See Red Mix








Let's get going... We have a most excellent Pre-Shuffle today featuring old friends, new friends and a special guest appearance....


"Planet of Women" by Sonny and the Sunsets
"Her Changes" by Frank Ryan
 "Shooting the Moon" by Ben Shive
"Fox in the Hen House" by The Quaker City Night Hawks
"Get Over" by The Dead Exs (Note: since I couldn't find a video for "Get Over" we included the video for the title track for their latest album Relovolution. The fan sourced video includes a very special Cameo appearance by the one and only Popa Tunes who've excellent blog recently celebrated its Fourth Birthday!)
 "Spittin' Lies" by Nikki Sue and the Bad News (Note: since I couldn't find a video for "Spittin' Lies", I included a video of Nikki Sue covering one of my all-time favorite songs, Folsom Prison Blues)
"Beware the Grackle" by The Peculiar Pretzelmen

  
 SHUFFLE UP NEXT

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Dream-like Waiting Mix









No "Shuffle" because I got a ride from the car dealership to my office, but we did have a "Pre-Shuffle" which I guess makes the "Pre-Shuffle" just a "Shuffle"... or maybe I'm over-thinking... again.

 Legendary Los Angeles band X announced this morning that they are going on tour with legendary New York band Blondie.  The tour includes a stop at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville...   I wonder if my Facebook "friendship" with DJ Bonebrake will help me score tickets?  


Today's Shuffle includes a delightful mix of Pop and Punk but no necessarily Pop-Punk plus some that may or may not be considered Pop or Punk, but I'll leave that for you to decide.

The (Pre?) Shuffles commences in THREE, TWO, ONE... JUMP!

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Trouble in Mind Mix










It was already hot and humid when I left home this morning - a sure sign that it is Bonnaroo time in Middle Tennessee.  Today's Mix has nothing whatsoever to do with that music festival in Manchester, Tennessee. 

As I was pulling out my driveway, the first song of the day came up on.  It's another great number from the new Nikki Sue and the Bad News album, Nothing Gold.  Location, Location, Location... "Location".

Anamanaguchi are from New York.  "Endless Fantasy" is the title track from their latest release, and it is nearly six minutes of instrumental goodness.

13ghosts are a Birmingham, Alabama Rock band.  Their song "Broken Objects" is from a 2011 album called Liar's Melody.  I like it.

The final track from the EP of Ukrainian folk music is a lively number called  "Ой Під Вишнею (Oj Pid Vyshneju)" performed by the quartet of Katarina Lkahovic, Mike Romaniak, Patrick Power, and Stephen Kreuger.  I'm not exactly sure why, but I've always been a sucker for traditional ethnic folk music, and this is very good ethnic folk music.

I've been posting a lot of Year of October.  They are a young Nashville band, that I recently become acquainted with and enamored of. They are playing a week from this Sunday night at the Basement (underneath Grimey's New and Pre-Loved Music).  "Where I've Been" comes from the first volume of the band's acoustic sessions.

Squire were part of the Mod revival of the late 1970s.  Today we have a song from a 2007 Squire Tribute album as performed by the San Diego band, The Shambles*. "It's a Mod Mod World" is extremely Mod and extremely cool.    *The Shambles is also a fictional band invented by my pal Rex Silo. I don't know how he'll feel to know there is a real band by that name, but we will soon find out.

The Great Mistake are a Buffalo, New York band. Here is their description from Facebook.

""you guys sound like if Morrissey fronted a post-rock band that was forced to play pop rock at gunpoint." Also, we don't growl!"  We will have more from The Great Escape coming up in the Shuffle for the day.

We have more of the smooth, new jazzy R'n'B from Atlanta - Joshua Worden with "Like a Rose"

POPCULT come from Denver and offer up some sweet alternative sounds from the Mile-High City. Today we have  "Life in the Wind" from their eponymously titled album.

Which takes us into our Daily Shuffle - First JUMP
