Let’s get going… We have a most excellent Pre-Shuffle today featuring old friends, new friends and a special guest appearance….

“Planet of Women” by Sonny and the Sunsets
“Her Changes” by Frank Ryan
 “Shooting the Moon” by Ben Shive
“Fox in the Hen House” by The Quaker City Night Hawks
“Get Over” by The Dead Exs (Note: since I couldn’t find a video for “Get Over” we included the video for the title track for their latest album Relovolution. The fan sourced video includes a very special Cameo appearance by the one and only Popa Tunes who’ve excellent blog recently celebrated its Fourth Birthday!)
 “Spittin’ Lies” by Nikki Sue and the Bad News (Note: since I couldn’t find a video for “Spittin’ Lies”, I included a video of Nikki Sue covering one of my all-time favorite songs, Folsom Prison Blues)
“Beware the Grackle” by The Peculiar Pretzelmen

  
 SHUFFLE UP NEXT

“My Sympathy” by Human Face from The Waiting Game (Part One) (2012/2013)

Human Face were kind enough to Tweet some nice words about us the other day. It was most appreciated, but what got them back in the Shuffle was (well besides the random shuffle mode) their amazingly catchy tunes and light, fun spirit.  Check them out if you haven’t.  Go!

“Strawberry Hill” by Bronze Radio Return from Old Time Speaker (2009)

Bronze Radio Return are an Indie Roots band from Hartford, Connecticut.  We grabbed this track and others from their new Noisetrade Sampler. This one comes from their debut album Old Time Speaker. Great song.

“Green” by Canopy Climbers from Miles (2013)

Our shuffle of really strong pop-oriented songs continues with another song from the brand new Canopy Climbers album Miles.  I am thoroughly enjoying this album.

“Screws Get Loose (Extended Studio Version) by Those Darlins Single (2011) (Original version from Screws Get Loose (2011)

We close out today’s Shuffle with one of my favorites.  An extended version of the title track from the most recent Those Darlins album (a new album from the Nashville band is due in the Fall). I dare you to listen and not sing along.  I double dog dare you.

Shuffle forward after the jump!

  •  “Blush on Razor” by Three Blind Wolves from The Maybe Forest (2011)

So just to be clear.  The other day, we played A Sunny Day in Glasgow who are from Philadelphia.  Today, we have a song by Three Blind Wolves who are from Glasgow.  I found Three Blind Wolves while exploring around on Bandcamp. They have a number of albums out.  Today’s song comes from their 2011 album The Maybe Forest which was recorded with members of various other Glasgow bands including this song which features Mark Farmer from the band The Seventeenth Century.  Now I have to check out The Seventeenth Century.  So you see why music consumes so much of my time…   Oh and if you check out the video playlist below you will find Three Blind Wolves covering Townes Van Zandt which makes them A-ok in my book.

  • “The Grackle” by The Peculiar Pretzelmen from CXCW12 Mixtape (2012)

Here are those Peculiar Pretzelmen with a video recorded in Albuquerque, NM for last years Couch by Couchwest. Check out the manic and melodious banjo/percussion freakout.  Sound right below – CXCW video on playlist below.

  •  “Pull My Coat” by Mark Robinson from Have Axe – Will Groove (2013)

We shall close out this short shuffle with some more Nashville Blues from the new album by Mark Robinson called Have Axe – Will Groove.  “Pull My Coat” is, I think, a tune written by Mark Robinson. Today’s Youtube playlist features Robinson covering the Davis Raines’ song Baby’s Gone to Memphis which also appears on Have Axe – Will Groove.
