The last time I had a Sloan-centric edition of the Shuffle was back in November 2016, right before I saw them in concert for the first time. They have a new album coming out on April 6, so it's time to start listening to their music in preparation and this is the perfect kickoff to that. This will be their 12th album (appropriately titled 12 ); I have albums #2-11 (plus 1 EP and a couple new songs from their best-of...I will skip the Christmas singles if they pop up) loaded into my iTunes, so today's shuffle will go as long as it takes to get each album represented. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go see them again when they come to Chicago in June...if anyone wants to go, let me know! Let's get to today's yet-to-be-determined number of songs... 1. A Side Wins (25) - from One Chord To Another 2. She's Slowin' Down Again (30) - from The Double Cross 3. Shame Shame (20) - from Twice Removed 4. I Was Wrong (21) - from Action Pact 5. The Good In Everyon...

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...

I've been slacking on my music posts over the past two weekends, skipping two potential Saturday Songs and a Sunday Shuffle. It can be blamed on my spring break or on the fact I've been listening to a whole bunch of new music or that I've been trying to catch up on TV. I used to get annoyed with myself when I missed weeks, but these days I'm okay with it. I know my last Shuffle was dedicated to one artist, but I couldn't help myself today. Last night I was listening to One Chord To Another , which Sloan just put out in a deluxe vinyl version (these are times when I wish I had a record player), and went on YouTube to find the b-sides . From there, I rewatched their KEXP performance from when Commonwealth had come out...and then I watched a show they did at Massey Hall that was just put up in December. So, the Sloan addiction is full on this morning. If you don't know this band, please listen to the Spotify playlist that I'll put up later. You won't r...

I've decided to do something a bit different for today's edition. I've been on a huge Sloan kick this week after watching their performance on KEXP. I've played through most of their albums and listening to them makes me want to listen to them more. Almost everyone song has been played in the last week, so I'm not going to mention last played; instead, I'll tell you from which album each song came. Let's get to today's ten from Sloan... 1. Beyond Me (11) - from Between the Bridges 2. Everybody Wants You (23) - from Never Hear the End of It 3. All by Ourselves (11) - from Between the Bridges 4. Golden Eyes (20) - from Never Hear the End of It 5. All I Am Is All You're Not (8) - from Parallel Play 6. People In The Sky (16) - from Twice Removed 7. Seems So Heavy (15)- from Navy Blues 8. Set in Motion (21) - from Never Hear the End of It 9. Keep On Thinkin' (14) - from Navy Blues 10. Ill Placed Trust (21) - from Never Hear the End of It
