Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - Another Kind of Mix Mix










I decided to search through my collection and pull out some bands I've featured in the past, who I haven't had the chance to listen to for a while, and I added a couple into the Playlist from which I draw my daily mix.  Three songs by one of those artists came up in the Pre-Shuffle today. Kafka (aka Wayne Kafka) plays pretty awesome alternative music. I think in the year or so since I heard songs from his Mysterious Skin EP (which was released in 2010), I had forgotten just how good his music is.  "Jump Down" and "Don't Cry" were the first two songs in the Pre-Shuffle today, and another song "Run with the Buffalo" came up at the end of the Pre-shuffle. 


 
I've been listening to and digging on the new album by Nikki Sue and the Bad News, but today's track goes back, way back, all the way to 2012 and the title track to the Lower Places EP. 

Jake Miller's song "Steven" comes to my playlist via Amazon's Free Music from Rising Artists list for June. His album is called The Road Less Traveled. Maybe it's just me, but I think I expected a song by Jake Miller from an album called The Road Less Traveled to be countryish or Americanaish, but this is some pretty cool hip-hop.  

I last heard The High Score backing Mic Harrison - at least I assume this is the same The High Score.  In any event, the song is called "I Feel Bad for You" and yes, it does come from the current month's Feel Bad for You Mixtape.

Next up, I have another track from Wheelchair Sports Camp - namely the title track to the awesome Where We All Live EP. I seriously dig this band.

Our Pre-Shuffle closed just as I reached the parking lot with the aforementioned third Kafka song of the day.

Ear to the Ground Presents: A Heapin' Helpin' of Music News



While we were busy writing and posting our 4-part review of  the new album by  The End Men and then being sick, a whole bunch of stuff has been happening musically from some old and new friends of ours.  Some of this "news" is no longer new, but in case you've missed it here is a quick survey of what's been hitting our News feeds, In-Box and how ever else we've heard about this stuff.
