Some may say, I take way too much pride in presenting morning shuffles that span such a diverse landscape of musical marvels. Some may say I would be far more successful if I focused on one genre or only wrote about those certain "buzz worthy" artists that you can read about in all of the other music blogs. Some may say, I should stick to the script and just echo back the language of the music promoters and publicists.
I don't bother responding except to offer up today's pre-shuffle and shuffle.
PRE-SHUFFLE:
"I'm One of Three" by EndAnd (new punk music from Brooklyn)
"River Rose" by Meat Puppets (the post-punk legends are back)
"Bangs" by Valued Customer (some music from our crazy friends from Toronto)
"'Til I'm With You" by Neighbour (More from the awesome Kacie Williams)
"Waiting for Something New" by Mozes and the Firstborn (This band is from Antwerp and I first heard them over the weekend - dig it)
"Cloudy Morning Blues" by Black Cold Bottles (Modern rock from Sao Paulo)
"Where You Going Northern" by Game Theory (Your daily dose of the genius of the late Scott Miller)
"Love and You" by Jeanette Lynne (more music from this amazing Philadelphia area singer-songwriter)
SHUFFLE AFTER JUMP
I'm back after an extended and mostly rainy weekend. Dreary, drizzly morning drive and walk, made more than tolerable by the superlative collection of fine tunes and tracks. By the way, my Current Month Playlist that I shuffle up for the Morning Shuffle had dropped to about 150 late last week, but over the weekend it has skyrocketed up above 200 again. We'll begin chipping away, as we present some Pre-Shuffle and Shuffle Shuffle tunes for this, the 6th day of May.
Pre-Shuffle:
Jeanette Lynne's 11 second "Intro" to her fabulous album You've Got Me serves has the intro into today's Pre-shuffle.
Kyle Andrews "Connecting the Dots"
Set in Stone doing "The Way I Felt" (a Twitter discovery from this weekend)
Game Theory "Toby Ornette"
Those Darlins "Glass to You"
Holy Grail "Ride the Void" - Why not.. some infectious Metal via Amazon's Free Music from Rising Artists
Game Theory "Rolling with the Moody Girls"
The next song served as a transition into the Shuffle - and we included it after the JUMP
So maybe 20 songs in one post was a little excessive.... so I'll keep it down to 15 today.
Pre-shuffle:
"Shit That Matters" by JENNY (the band has a new album called Love and Politics out now)
"Sleeping Through Heaven" by Game Theory (for those keeping track this make 8 Game Theory songs in two days)
"Rest Your Weary Mind" by Elizabeth Cook with Bobby Bare Jr. (Two of Nashville's coolest poeple)
"I Still Want a Little More" by Milk Carton Kids (I'm digging on this band lately)
"You Always Make Me Smile" Kyle Andrews (Nashville Singer-songwriter, electronic musician)
"Linus and Lucy" by Game Theory (9 in two days - yes it's the Vince Guaraldi song)
"No Reason" by Jeanette Lynne (A CXCW alum - When Popatunes says "Jump", I say, 'yeah, right!'. When Popatunes says "check out this music" - I say - 'hell, yeah!')
"Sad Baby Wolf" by Sad Baby Wolf (I love this band and this song is one of my favorites)
"New Jerusalem" by Neighbour (Neighbour is Kacie Williams - Nashville again!)
SHUFFLE UP AFTER THE JUMP
