Sunday Shuffle #284

Well, we watched 6 more episodes of Game of Thrones Season 2, leaving us only a pair left to go. I also managed to finish Catching Fire last night, though I had to leave the dishes unwashed until this morning to do so. It was worth it. The question now becomes, how long do I wait to read Mockingjay? I have a bunch of books out from the library and more waiting for me there as well, so it will be a little bit. Guess I'm going to have to read a lot. A hardship, for sure. Oh, and I read another issue of The Unwritten too.

None of that has anything to do with this feature, of course, so let's get to today's ten...

1. Dizzy/Luna (4) - I wanna help you understand
2. Backstabbin'/Sloan (11) - There's one thing then another thing
3. Someone's Gonna Break Your Heart/Fountains of Wayne (13) - Staring at the sun with no pants on
4. Sweetest Kill/Broken Social Scene (6) - I got you in the sweetest kill
5. All to Shit/Lightspeed Champion (2) - This is all going all to shit
6. Sawdust Man/Ben Kweller (6) - I'm a sawdust man, I'm a music man
7. Right Place/The Mynabirds (11) - I got your number and you got mine
8. Going Is Song/Shearwater (4) - Oh daddy, I'm lost in your overcoat
9. I Don't Wanna Go There/Dinosaur Jr. (9) - I don't wanna go there
10. Massive Nights/The Hold Steady (4) - The guys are feeling good about their liquor run

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.

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...
