We have a jam-packed rest of the week ahead of us, so we are going to jump right into today’s Shuffle
After the JUMP
“Downs” by Big Star (This song was not on the original PVC issue of Third/Sister Lovers, however it was on the Test Pressing and was restored on most later releases including the 1992 Rykodisc release which Jim Dickinson considered the definitive version.)
“Let Me Down” by Arc and Stones (A Brooklyn rock band)
“Day Dreamer” by Wild Child (from Pillow Talk – the band is getting ready to release their second record and have made the first this – their first – available for free (TIP PLEASE) on Noisetrade.
“Dear Alice” by The Dirty Guv’nahs (more from Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies)
“It Doesn’t Matter Anymore by Linda Ronstadt (written by Paul Anka and originally recorded by Buddy Holly)
“I’ll Never Know” by Nava Hotel (from Never Loved You. Some Loud Ass Rock from Nashville, Tennessee)
“Camilla” by Swaai Boys (another song from the Mama Coco’s Funky Kitchen compilation. Some groovy world music vibes from New York City).
Nice morning has turned into another dreary day here in Nashville.
Ear to the Ground has been featured by a cool music blog called newgazzi! Check it out.
Currently, the playlist from which the Shuffles are drawn is up over 300 songs. Tons of new and new old music were added over the weekend, and more will be added soon.
Anyway, we have a great mix of songs – so let’s JUMP to it…
Pre-Shuffle
“Live Forever” by The Dirty Guv’nahs
“Oh, Rose” by Skeletons in The Piano (from Please Don’t Die – one of our favorite albums of 2013, so far – heard rumblings that SITP are working on a new album now!)
“Your Eyes Shine in the Darkness” by Courrier
“On the Watch (Parts V-XII) by The Gypsy West (from another of our 2013 faves – Accomplices III: No Barcodes – by the way, as substitute video, I have included a video of The Gypsy West covering the Talking Heads classic Life During Wartime)
“Prey” by Let’s Active
Shuffle
“Say Goodbye” by Arc and Stones from Arc and Stones EP (2013)
Arc and Stones (btw, for some reason the “and sign” does weird things to my formatting, so I use the word “and” even when I know the sign is used by the artist…) are a hard rock band from Brooklyn. Check it out.
“Annarexia (Bill Laswell Dubmix)” by Marla Mase from Speak (Deluxe) (2013)
Another of my favorite albums of the year. The Speak album was actually released last year, but the Deluxe Edition which features this version of the song, Annarexia, was released in March. Marla Mase is a powerful artist/performer. This dubmix features the legendary Bill Laswell who was part of Golden Palominos among other projects.
“There Are Rules” by The Gypsy West from Accomplices III: No Barcodes (2013)
The Shuffle closes with another track from the Accomplices III EP. This is one of my favorites songs on the EP.
