I'm feeling pretty good this morning because I just had my second outside run in a row under an 8:30 mile pace. And even though there's still snow piled everywhere, it was around 40 degrees with the wind chill. I'll take that. I'll also take the fact that today is the last Sunday in February. I have started writing my next Heavy Rotation, which should I be able to post some time this week. I also think my new feature will start on Saturday, so some non-shuffle content to look forward to. In the meantime, let's get to today's shuffle content... 1. Jaipur/The Mountain Goats (4) - last played on 3/31/15 2. The Man Who Killed The City/Tom Adamson (9) - last played on 3/11/15 3.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas...we certainly did! It's been a great week filled with family, food, and fun. This coming week will be much more low key, which is just fine with me. My plan is to take advantage of the time and get my year-end posts up throughout the week, so look for those. Don't forget to check out this week's songs on my Spotify playlist - direct link coming later this evening. Okay, let's get to today's ten... 1.

It's a good thing the Super Bowl party I'm going to is next door because today's snowstorm means traveling much farther than that is a no go. My parents were supposed to come as well but they are snowed in and even had church cancelled this morning. As for the game itself, I'm more rooting against the Patriots than rooting for the Seahawks but I do hope it's at least competitive. I'm going to do something quite different today. Every Sunday I do this shuffle, I let the music run long after the first 10. Some days I might listen to 100 songs this way or more. So, in honor of Super Bowl XLIX I'm going to list the first 49 songs that pop up today. Crazy, yes, but why not... 1. Bartomelo And The Buzzing Of Bees/Ted Leo & The Pharmacists (16) - last played on 9/15/13 2. Let's Love/Matthew Sweet (7) - last played on 4/15/12 3. Karen/The National (1) - loaded onto iTunes some time in Dec. 2014 4. Black Hole/She & Him (9) - last played on 6/23/1...

It's been over a month since I've had a post that wasn't a Sunday Shuffle. I do want to write about a few things, so hopefully I will get to them in the coming week,which is the last week of school before spring break.

I'm on the first of two spring breaks this week. This means I have to go to work but not to classes, though I do have school work to do. My hope is that I will get a few posts up that aren't this or The Week in Comics. We'll see. For now, let's get to the music... 1. Dressy/Reigning Sound (1) 2. I've Gotta Try/Sloan (3) 3.

I had plans to post every day this week and it obviously didn't happen. This week college starts up again. I have 2 classes this semester as opposed to the 1 I had in the fall, so we'll see how many posts I get done each week. Yesterday I watched both NFL playoffs games and I'll do the same today. For now, though, let's get to the music... 1. Drop Me Off/Pela (3) 2. Hands Up Baby/Camera Obscura (1) 3. The Bed/St. Vincent (4) 4. Vivian/Delta Spirit (10) 5. Low Branches/Superchunk (6) 6. Revenge/Spoon (2) 7. Star-Spangled Man/Luna (3) 8. House of Lies/The Broken West (3) 9. Got To Get You Into My Life/The Beatles (3) 10. The Ghost Inside/Broken Bells (6)
