Ready Set Go… well, I’m going to be out and about the rest of this week.  I MAY sneak in an entry or two.  In the mean time, I will leave you with another fine, fine mix of music…

PRE-SHUFFLE:

1. “Chili” by Dog Without Warning (Did I mention the latest Dog Without Warning record is bad ass? Well, it is.  My shuffle mode has been digging this song and so have I.)
2.”Oh Darlin'” by Mystery Twins (Happy to present another song from this Nashville-based musical side project. – two members of The Clutters)
3. “Infatuation” by Dog Without Warning (Did I mention that the latest Dog Without Warning record is really, really bad ass?  Well, it really really is! This song is one of my favorites from the ‘Bark’ EP.  Oh who am I kidding, all of the songs on ‘Bark’ are my favorites.)
 4. “The Escape” by SkyBurnsRed (more music from this hot UK band).
 5. “Sorry, But I’m Yours” by Ben Shive (Another awesome track from this unique Nashville Singer/Songwriter)
6. & 7. “Is There Anybody Out There?” and “Nothing Stays the Same” by Human Face (Really digging the Brit-Pop feel of this band)
8. “What’s So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding” by Steve Earle (covering Elvis Costello (doing a Nick Lowe tune)) (A live and loud version of the Nick Lowe classic. Trivia, Earle’s son Justin Townes is in the band for this song) 
9. “Bring Me Backwards” by Ellis Paul (Man oh Man, I dig this song.  Came to me via the latest Feel Bad for You mixtape)

and then we transition into the Shuffle with one of the strongest cuts on the excellent new EP by Tipi Valley

SHUFFLE AFTER THE JUMP!

  • “You Know” by Tipi Valley from Rock ‘n Roll Lives On (2013)

This song was Tipi Valley’s contribution to CXCW13. Tipi Valley is from Swansea, UK. I’ll have to remember to ask him if Swansea is as beautiful as it sounds….

  • “Piling It On” by Decades from Deep Deep Pink Sessions (2013)

‘Cause sometimes you need some good Hard Rock in your mix.

  • “Rebel Music” by Coastwest Unrest from Old Weird America (2010)

I’m really, really, really digging this Las Vegas band which I was introduced to via Noisetrade.  This song comes from the band’s 2010 album, Old Weird America.

  • “Easy Chair” by Great Divide from Great Divide (2013)

A great way to close out today’s Shuffle.  There is a lovely, comfortable feel to this band, and so far I think I like every single song I’ve heard.

Monday Morning Music Shuffle – Explosions in my Mind

!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=”//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js”;fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,”script”,”twitter-wjs”);https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js <!– google_ad_client = "ca-pub-5465441380757075"; /* E2TG #2 */ google_ad_slot = "6306625404"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //

Hey ho! It’s a brand new month.  Let’s kick it off right!

Pre-Shuffle: (I had some post Shuffle technical difficulties so I’m having to reconstruct the order of the songs from memory)

“Goin’ to a Party” by Alabama Shakes
“From a Window Seat” by Dawes
“Freak Show” by SkyBurnsRed
“I Found You” by Aaron and Andrew
“Give Me Back my Wig” by Hound Dog Taylor and The Houserockers
 “Last Stop” by Black Jake and the Carnies (Nashville Show Alert!!!!  Black Jake and the Carnies will be playing at this Wednesday’s edition of Music City Roots Live from the Loveless Barn.  If you can’t make it to the Loveless, you can catch the broadcast on Lightning 100 or at  the Music City Roots website)
“Buried” and “On My Own” by Year of October
“Tina Says” by Those Darlins

And a song from Nashville’s Ben Shive serves as a transition to the Shuffle which begins right after the JUMP!

  • “Your Secret Smile” by Ben Shive from The Cymbal Crashing Clouds (2011)

 

Ben Shive is a Nashville singer-songwriter and not at all what you’d expect given that description.  That’s a good thing.

  • “Traveling” by Mystery Twins from Love is Strange EP (2012)

 

More unexpected goodness from a Nashville duo.  In case you haven’t figured it out, a lot of the music being made in Nashville is not at all what you might expect.  Lose those expectations!

  • “Been There Before” by Human Face from The Waiting Game (Part One) (2012)
http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=3666200720/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=0687f5/

Human Face are a recent discovery via a Twitter Follow.  They play Indie Rock and are from London.  I really dig what I’ve heard so far.

  • “Poetry in Motion” by Johnny Tillotson (1961 Hit Single)

Johnny Tillotson is from Florida. Poetry in Motion is his biggest hit and was recorded in Nashville with session players that included Boots Randolph and Floyd Cramer.

  • “720 Times Happier Than The Unjust” by The Loud Family from Attractive Nuisance (2000)

Following the demise of Game Theory, the late Scott Miller formed The Loud Family – named after a 1973 PBS series An American Family.  Today’s song comes from that band’s 5th Studio Album.

  • “Rust Golem” by Ghost and Goblin from SUPERHORRORCASTLELAND (2013)
We close out a pretty random but totally awesome mix of songs with another track from the totally cool new album from New York band Ghost and Goblin who came to our attention thanks to a recommendation by The End Men.
