Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Taking It Up a Notch Mix



Oh, hear this Robert Zimmerman
I wrote a song for you
About a strange young man called Dylan
With a voice like sand and glue
Some words of truthful vengeance
They could pin us to the floor
Brought a few more people on
And put the fear in a whole lot more"
David Bowie

 Happy 72nd Birthday Robert Zimmerman and also to that strange young man named Dylan...


Well, well, well...  I thought we had covered a lot of musical ground yesterday, but we may have just topped ourselves.  You be the judge.

Pre-shuffle:

We start things out with a performance of a Ukrainian folk song.

1.  "Ой Полечко, Поле (Oj Polechko, Pole" by Katarina Ljahovic, Mike Romaniak, Patrick Power and Stephen Kreuger (by the way, Patrick Power is better known to E2TG readers as 1/2 of Valued Customer, and he may well be a musical genius in my book)

2. "Old Friend" by Sea Wolf (another cool track from the L.A. based Indie Rock band who take their name from a Jack London novel)

3.  "This is a Notice" by Mic Harrison and the High Score (This is Knoxville Rock! Mic Harrison was a member of the V-Roys and Superdrag before teaming up with The High Score.  This song is pretty damn awesome raver.)

4.  "Psycho Killer" (B-Side featuring Arthur Russell) by Talking Heads (a recently released alternate take of the Talking Heads classic featuring a well utilized Cello)

5. "Only Sixteen" by Craig Douglas (1959 cover of a Sam Cooke song by a UK Pop singer)

6. "Boys Keep Me Up at Night" by Jeanette Lynne (another gem from the You've Got Me album)

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Break on Through Mix



Well all sorts of bad things happened yesterday.  Sending love and prayers and thoughts to the people of Oklahoma.  

Also, remembering Ray Manzarek of The Doors who passed away yesterday. A true creative genius who shaped many generations of music.

We got some songs - as we are reminded again that Music Heals....


Today.... Pre-Shuffle-wise.

"More of the Same" by Britain. (feat. Clark Beckham) - this is the first released track from a forthcoming EP. Been digging on this track for a little while. Production by my good friend Hayden Coleman.  Representing the 615 - but this is different.

"Run Like Hell" by Drive He Said

"Sugar" by Paper Route

Wakin On a Pretty Day" by Kurt Vile - this nine plus minute song transitions us into the Shuffle of the day.
