Sunday Spoon #4 (Sunday Shuffle #459)

The last Sunday Spoon was only back in February, right before the new album came out, so why am I doing another one already? Well, this weekend saw the 10 anniversary of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, which might be my favorite Spoon album, so I thought it would be good to celebrate the band today. In addition, I bought/downloaded the aforementioned new album, Hot Thoughts, last night so that I could have all of their music available today. I really like Hot Thoughts, but had only been listening via Spotify. All of that means Spoon gets their 4th edition of the Shuffle, which is the most by any artist.

Before we get to today's ten, I want to quickly mention we are going to see Spider-Man: Homecoming this morning. Can't wait!

1. Hot Thoughts (2) - from Hot Thoughts
2. Who Makes Your Money (25) - from Transference
3. Staring at the Board (19) - from A Series of Sneaks
4. Cvantez (9) - from Telephono
5. Do I Have To Talk You Into It (2) - from Hot Thoughts
6. I Didn't Come Here to Die (12) - from Love Ways
7. Utilitarian (21) - from A Series of Sneaks
8. Car Radio (22) - from A Series of Sneaks
9. Back To The Life (8) - from Kill The Moonlight
10. Dismember (12) - from Telephono

And, of course, nothing from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga pops up. Such are the ways of the Sunday Shuffle...

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.
