Sunday Shuffle #261

Welcome to 2012 and welcome to the first Sunday Shuffle of the year. I hope everyone had an enjoyable night ringing in the new year. This year will see me finally graduate from college and maybe get a full-time salaried job for the first time. This is also the year where my son will leave middle school behind and start high school. Other than that, who knows what 2012 will bring? I'm looking forward to finding out.

One thing I know for certain is that I will continue my Sunday Shuffle posts, where I pull up my iTunes, put it on shuffle mode, and tell you what the first 10 songs are that pop up. Last year this blog was mostly Sunday Shuffle; this year I plan for a wide variety of posts, but more on that at another time. For now, let's get to today's ten...

1. Spaghetti Western/Hoodoo Gurus (3)
2. Territory/Two Hours Traffic (6)
3. "Further Complications."/Jarvis Cocker (3)
4. The Crooked Line/Elvis Costello (5)
5. White Collar Boy/Belle and Sebastian (6)
6. Look At You/My Morning Jacket (7)
7. Lullaby/Liam Finn (6)
8. You Can Always Count On Me (In The Worst Way)/Superchunk (9)
9. Calamity Song/The Decemberists (12)
10. You're So Strange/Reigning Sound (2)

Sunday Shuffle #413

Summer is here and I'm happy that it is. Jill finished school this week, but Grant and I have to go through Friday. I have the week off from my TTT course, so I'm going to catch up on some reading and TV. There was baseball I could watch yesterday and I can watch some again today, so you can bet I'll be doing that. Few things bring me joy more than baseball and a book in my lap for between innings. Here's today's ten... 1. I 4 U & U 4 Me (Home Demo)/The Decemberists (15) - last played on 8/19/15 2. Part One/Band of Horses (6) - last played on 5/7/16 3. Shame Chamber/Kurt Vile (5) - last played on 7/23/15 4. In the Eyes of My Friends/Sugar (2) - last played on 10/5/14 5.

Sunday Shuffle #479

I don't know if it's the weather, nostalgia, or something else, but I woke up feeling like I wanted to do a Sunday Shuffle today. I barely open up iTunes anymore and haven't downloaded new music into it in a long time...which also means I haven't listened to a lot of the music I have stored there in a while. So, this is simultaneously old and new in a way and that feels interesting to me this morning. Let's get to today's ten... 1. Pulling On A Line/Great Lake Swimmers (6) - last played on 11/8/15 2. Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Of/U2 (7) - last played on 5/19/13 3. Us/Spoon (4) - last played on 11/24/17 4. Meat Is Murder/Shout Out Louds (6) - last played on 12/11/16 5. Different Days/Jason Isbell (11) - last played on 6/1/17 6. Another Way I Could Do It/Sloan (34) - last played on 6/22/18 7. Wizard Buys A Hat/The Mountain Goats (8) - last played on 2/12/17 8. Decks Dark/Radiohead (8) - last played on 7/10/18 9. Luisa/Jay Gonzalez (13) - last ...

Heavy Rotation #37

This past Friday was a big release day, with 4 new albums that I will probably be listening to over and over again. That means it's probably time to write about what I've been into over the last month-and-a-half or so. Sound good? Phoebe Bridgers/Stranger in the Alps - Before last fall, I hadn't listened to any of Bridgers' music. Sure, I knew of her, but that was it. It wasn't until Boygenius (the group she's in with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus) that I really heard anything she'd done. Their EP is great, so I thought it was time to expand my horizons and give this one a listen. Better late than never is a cliche for a reason, right? Anyway, the album starts off very strong with "Smoke Signals" and "Motion Sickness." The former is contemplative and moody and lovely with killer lyrics while the latter is more prickly and up-tempo with (again) killer lyrics. It's a strong start to the album. If I had to pick one track to get someon...
