Sunday Random 10

Hey! Where did November go? Holy cow, we're three weeks behind again! 

Let's...Hit...Shuffle!


11/11/2012
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Tears of a Clown
Paul Simon - Rene and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War
The Silos - I'm Over You
The Turtles - You Know What I Mean
Old 97's - Timebomb
The Avett Brothers - Salvation Song (live)
The Beatles - Wait
Jonathan Rundman - I Thought You Were Mine (remix)
Muddy Waters - Sugar Sweet
Los Lobos - I Got to Let You Know (live)

"Just like Pagliacci did" is a terrific line in a terrific song. "Timebomb" is the killer lead track from the reissue of the Old 97's Too Far to Care 15th anniversary reissue, which is well worth your time. Cool to have The Silos and the Rundman tune (written about a Silos show) in the same mix!

11/18/2012
Dawes - Time Spent in Los Angeles
The Bad Plus - Layin' a Strip for the Higher-Self State Line
Rodney Crowell - Closer to Heaven
Simon & Garfunkel - I Am a Rock
This Train - I Don't Mind
The Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Faces - Angel (live)
Old 97's - Old Familiar Steam
Dolly Varden - Done (Done)
The Beatles - The End

The Dolly Varden track's from the album to be released in January, but you can get it now if you're on the mailing list. The Crowell tune is the nice closer from the fine Sex & Gasoline. And, once again, if you're trying to explain to a disbelieving under-35 that Rod Stewart was once a critically acclaimed and respected artist, play 'em this Faces cover of Hendrix.

11/25/2012
The Beach Boys - My Only Sunshine (The Old Master Painter/You Are My Sunshine)
Fountains of Wayne - Small Favors
The Bee Gees - For Whom the Bell Tolls
The Beatles - Paperback Writer
The Ventures - Pipeline
Son Volt - Atmosphere
Golden Smog - V
John Wesley Harding - Burn
Over the Rhine - The Laugh of Recognition
Bettye LaVette - I Guess We Shouldn't Talk About That Now

11. Bruce Springsteen - Badlands

All the major "B" 60's bands represented here. The bonus is one of the songs we heard the E Street Band play a few weeks back at a terrific, energetic show at the Xcel Energy Center. 

We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question, already in progress.
