This Thanksgiving week has been great, but it's time to refocus and remember that there are four weeks until Christmas. I have to do work for my TTT courses all the way up to the 23rd and school goes through the 20th. There are only two more weeks of swimming lessons, so my time will be freed up somewhat at that point. Still, it's going to be busy right up until Christmas, but I know I will get through my work and truly be able to enjoy that next break. Speaking of Christmas, any Christmas music that pops up will be included over the next 4 Sunday Shuffles, including today. So, let's get to today's ten... 1. Satan/Teenage Fanclub (12) - last played on 10/21/16 2. Shoulder To Shoulder/Little Joy (4) - last played on 3/3/13 3. Ruby II/Amy Millan (6) - last played on 11/22/15 4. Nothing To Hide/Yo La Tengo (7) - last played on 7/10/16 5. We're Gonna Make It/Mavis Staples (10) - last played on 2/7/16 6. Old White Lincoln/The Gaslight Anthem (10) - last ...

Hard to believe I'm typing this on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The weather has certainly turned in the past couple days, so it does feel more Thanksgiving-like that way. I'm excited to have the week off from my TTT course and to have only a two day week at school. Some family is already here and more will be arriving. I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday week! Let's get to today's ten... 1. Rox In The Box/The Decemeberists (18) - last played on 3/13/16 2. Scythian Empires/Andrew Bird (10) - last played on 8/7/16 3. Rock On/T. Rex (11) - last played on 2/7/16 4. The House That Heaven Built/Japandroids (22) - last played on 11/9/16 5. Can You Tell/Ra Ra Riot (4) - last played on 1/11/15 6.

I had a great time at the Sloan show Friday night. They played all of One Chord To Another , took a break, and then came back to play songs from all over the catalog. Chris Murphy has a ton of charisma and led us in clapping and singing along, usually abetted by Patrick Pentland. Patrick had some guitar issues at the start of both sets, but once they were sorted out he ripped off some nifty guitar solos. Jay Ferguson charmingly forgot the lyrics to one of his songs and Andrew Scott was fantastic behind the drum kit. When it was Andrew's turn to sing, he would come up front and put on a guitar, Jay would switch from guitar to bass, and Chris would go from bass to drums. Gregory Macdonald played all the keys and contributed harmonies. The harmonies were stellar throughout and the band sounded great. I've already started listening through their catalog again and seriously thought about doing another Sunday Sloan...but that would be overkill. So, here are today's ten from my ...

This Friday I will be going to my 5th and final concert of the year and if you read the title of the post, you have already figured out I will be seeing Sloan. The band is touring behind the 20th anniversary of One Chord To Another , their 3rd album. They will play the album in its entirety for the first set and then do a second set featuring songs from the rest of their catalog. I love the band and have never seen them before, so I'm very very excited. Naturally, I've started listening to all of their albums in anticipation, so this dedicated shuffle fits in perfectly. Please listen along via the Spotify link if you don't know this great power pop and rock band. I'll do the usual ten songs unless nothing pops up from OCTA , then I'll continue until we get one. Happy listening! 1. Light Years (24) - from Never Hear The End Of It 2. C'mon C'mon (We're Gonna Get It Started) (16) - from Navy Blues 3. You've Got A Lot On Your Mind (12) - from Commonw...
