It's Sunday again, so Let's... Hit... Shuffle!:
The Beatles - You're Gonna Lose That Girl
Fairground Attraction - A Smile in a Whisper
Son Volt - Atmosphere
Elvis Costello and the Attractions - I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down
Aretha Franklin - Respect
Them - Gloria
The Suburbs - Monster Man (R.I.P. Bruce C. Allen)
Over the Rhine - Goodbye Charles
The Coasters - Bad Blood
Old 97's - The Other Shoe
Wow. Very, very cool mix today. As a bonus, we've linked to a great post on the craft of a Help! "throwaway" song and an obit for the 'Burbs guitarist who passed this week (he also designed the cover of this).
Also, the Over the Rhine track is from Snow Angels, their terrific Christmas album from a couple of years back, and if you shuffled that tune in with the rest of Vince Guaraldi's classic A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack, not many people would notice.
We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question, already in progress.

Fairground Attraction and Over the Rhine. Two of the best female singers on the planet that more people should hear of. Are you familiar with Swan Dive?
Picked up the Fairground CD for .49 at the wonderful Reckless Records in Chicago over Thanksgiving. Will have to look into more of Eddi Reader's work.
That OtR disc is quickly becoming my favorite Christmas album (sorry, Emmylou) and "Here It Is" is quickly becoming my favorite holiday song.
If something from Everything but the Girl's "Idlewild" had shuffled up, I'd have hit the trifecta of Great Female Singers on the Planet.
Oh wait, that Aretha kid is kinda good, too. ("Otis, that girl done stole your song!") Would've been a quadfecta, I guess.
I am not familiar with Swan Dive. Sounds like I need to be. :-)
