Tuesday Morningish Music Shuffle – Big Bird Mix

Hey Ho! Some days away and then some life events of the unexpected variety, but we are back with a music shuffle which was listened to this morning and also some bonus songs from this afternoon….  But which are coming at you at night.  Whatever, it’s all good music:


First of all, we have E2TG Band of the Month from August – Loner’s Society with a song from their self-titled release.  It’s I’ll Write the Sad Songs.

Here is a live performance from Loner’s Society

Aoede is a San Francisco duo who make some beautiful music.  Skeletons of the Muse is their fantastic album that was released in early 2012.  And Love Proof is the song we have featured today.

 



Don and Phil Everly recorded as The Everly Brothers and made some sweet, sweet music. Today, we have one of their hit songs, Bye, Bye Love.



And closing out  the morning portion of the shuffle, we have Harbor Lights from the King of Rock N’ Roll Mr. Elvis Presley.  The song dates back to the 1930s and was originally recorded in Polish.  So there.

This afternoon, we were able to shuffle again and came up with two more songs:
The first is a song by the late Chris Bell of Big Star fame.  His song I Am the Cosmos was released as a single in 1978 on Chris Stamey’s label.  Then, in 1992 it was included as the title track of a compilation of several of his 70s era solo songs.

And finally, we have a song from our friends, Cosmonauts.  Emily’s Surprise is part of the Daniel Raincourt saga.

Here’s a single with more of the saga.

And the video for Emily’s Surprise

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle – Love Conquers Mix

Good morning from Nashville.  Once again, congrats to Vinyl Thief – our Band of the Month for July. I try not be too political in this forum, but for the record, it has been many years since I have eaten at that certain fast food establishment that everyone is talking about these days, and I that will not change anytime soon. When I eat patently unhealthy food, I prefer it without the hate…  *puts soapbox away.

As you know, if you are a regular reader, I live in Nashville and write about the music I like. Since December (or so), I disproportionate number of bands I’ve written about have come from the New York/New Jersey area. There are number of reasons for this, mainly that I have received the most support, encouragement and enthusiasm from that music community. Also, there is some damn fine music coming out of that scene. 

That being said (and as I’ve mentioned before), at the time I was first being turned on to the depth and breadth of music out side of the Top 40, I “discovered” the Nashville music scene.  I have been a fan, friend and supporter of Nashville’s diverse music scene for over 20 years. And while, it was never my intention or desire to write a blog solely devoted to Nashville music, I am grateful when I have the chance to do so. 

So I am pleased that again today, I had a Nashville band come up on my morning shuffle – let’s get to it.

Daniel Pujol who records under just his last name, makes good, loud ROCK music.  I had the good fortune to see the band play Grimey’s for Record Store Day this year, and it was one of my highlights of the day.  His latest release called, United States of Being (on Saddle Creek), dropped in June.  Today’s song, though comes from 2011’s Nasty, Brutish, and Short. Battles is a nifty rocker. 

 
 

Next up, we have San Francisco based, Aoede. Aoede has recently come to my attention via the power of social media, and I’ve been enraptured by the beautiful, haunting Pop music. The song today is called Does Your Heart Ever Stop Feeling and you can find it on Skeletons of the Muse which was released in April.
 

 
Could not find Does Your Heart Ever Stop Feeling on YouTube so check out Aoede singing the National Anthem!
 






And finally, we have a song from Jack Ashford and His Funk Brothers from the album of the same name.  The Funk Brothers were legendary Motown session players, and according to one source have played on more number one songs than the Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones and the Beach Boys combined.  The song today is called Black Jack and it’s funky.

 
Here’s a clip about The Funk Brothers
