I know I already did one of these about 6 months ago but last night I read that Spoon played an afterparty of their show (which was a Spoon cover band playing 2 whole albums). That's awesome and it makes me want to listen to their equally awesome music. So, I'm going to do that... 1. Nobody Gets Me But You (18) - from Transference 2. My Little Japanese Cigarette Case (15) - from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga 3. Wanted to Be Your (6) - from Telephono 4. Sister Jack (11) - from Gimme Fiction 5. The Beast And Dragon, Adored (12) - from Gimme Fiction 6. Rhthm & Soul (12) - from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga 7. Change My Life (8) - from Love Ways 8. My Mathematical Mind (11) - from Gimme Fiction 9. Who Makes Your Money (19) - from Transference 10. Inside Out (16) - from They Want Your Soul

Today's shuffle focuses on The New Pornographers. I've been a fan ever since I grabbed Electric Version , their second album. All six of their albums are full of melodic power pop/pop music with multiple singers and songwriters (Carl Newman, Dan Bejar, and Neko Case being the most prominent members). If you don't know them, you should definitely check them out (as well as their side projects/solo albums). The play counts for the first three albums will be low as I only recently ripped them to iTunes. Rest assured, those songs have been played dozens of times. In fact, Twin Cinema is one of my favorite albums ever. I also listened to Brill Bruisers a bunch on Spotify before I got my own digital copy. Anyway, enough dissembling about play counts, I'm ready to listen to these songs... 1. From Blown Speakers (2) - from Electric Version 2. Moves (18) - from Together 3. Use It (2) - from Twin Cinema 4. Falling Through You Clothes (2) - from Twin Cinema 5. My Shepherd ...

It's the first shuffle of summer break! Of course, tomorrow I start getting in the pool for hours every day but I'll still have more time to read and listen to music and catch up on TV and all of that good stuff. For now, let's just get to today's ten... 1. Golden Light/Twin Shadow (5) - last played on 12/20/12 2. Last Word/Archers of Loaf (8) - last played on 2/22/15 3.
