Here we go… I’ll plug the Sandy Hook single again. Really, check this out and buy it. $1.29 – just don’t super-size your fast food meal for one day. 😉
Our shuffle is all over this this a.m. – check it out – after the… wait for it… jump:
1. Song: Ugly Artist: Garrison Starr Album: Eighteen Over Me (1997) – We listened to a live version off a Noisetrade release – Awesome singer-songwriter originally from Mississippi)
2. Song: Birmingham Artist: Mikey Wax Album: The Traveler EP (2010) – (Long Island based singer-songwriter – attended college in Nashville, one our early “Bands” of the Week, one of his songs – Counting on You – was an elimination song on Season 9 of So You Think You can Dance, spread his music through a series of house concerts during the summer of 2010 and 2011)
5. Song: Nobody Does it Better (Carly Simon cover) Artist: Radiohead Album: Covers by Radiohead (???) – (aka The Spy Who Loved Me – Simon’s version is on the Amazon widget above – pretty straight ahead cover by Radiohead – Thom Yorke is not Carly Simon, but this is a pretty sweet cover nonetheless)
7. Song: Kick It In (Studio Demo) Artist: The Replacements Album: Pleased to Meet Me (Expanded Edition) (2008 reissue, 1987 original album) – (oh the joys of the expanded reissues, The ‘mats Kick It In – in fine form)
8. Song: It Happened Today Artist: R.E.M. Album: Collapse Into Now (2011) – (from what ended up being the Athens-based swan-song)
