Sunday Shuffle #339

I haven't done one of these in a while for a couple reasons:

1. I haven't synced my phone up with my iTunes to get an accurate reading on how many plays each song might have. I've had a issue with podcast episodes disappearing when I sync ever since iOS 7 came on the scene and it's annoying (I synced up a little bit ago and had the same problem).

2. It's been nice to not feel the need to do one of these every single Sunday morning. I was able to let go of it more easily than I had suspected.

Why do one today? Last Sunday of the year, synced-up songs, a feeling of why not. So, here are today's ten...

1. Joy To You Baby/Josh Ritter (14) - last played on 12/10/13
2. Jesse's Not a Sleeper/J Tillman (7) - last played on 5/17/12
3. All Things Must Pass/Yim Yames (4) - last played on 9/18/11
4. Downtown/Destroyer (7) - last played on 7/18/13
5. The Longing/Eels (3) - last played on 11/1/12
6. Happy Alone/Earlimart (8) - last played on 4/15/13
7. The Fall of the World's Own Optimist/Aimee Mann (3) - last played on 11/20/13
8. Give It Back/Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings (13) - last played on 8/26/12
9. New Alphabet/Eels (13) - last played on 12/2/13
10. A Good Idea (Live)/Sugar (2) - last played on 6/23/13

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...

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 ...
