Time to find out what the Thin Blue Touch served up as we start this sixth week of staying at home.
Let's...Hit...Shuffle!
Vigilantes of Love - Real Down Town
Adam Levy - How I Let You Down
Gordon Lightfoot - The Patriot's Dream
Joe Henry - Widows of the Revolution
The Rutles - With a Girl Like You
Vince Guaraldi - Cast Your Fate to the Wind
Bob Dylan - God Knows
XTC - I'm the Man Who Murdered Love
Peter Frampton - Baby, I Love Your Way
The Clash - Hateful
Bonus 11
Lake Street Dive - How Good It Feels
("God Knows" was preceded by a 21 second track of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash studio chatter from the latest Bootleg Series, but we're not counting that officially as part of the ten.)
The Adam Levy song is from "Naubinway", a deeply moving album about the loss of his son, who took his own life. Lightfoot's anti-war tune is the closer to the underrated "Don Quixote" album. The Rutles twist "If I Fell" ever so slightly into a delightful new song. If all you know if Vince Guaraldi is the Charlie Brown soundtracks, you owe it to yourself to check out his other material. The XTC song is from "Wasp Star (Apple Venus Pt. 2)", their terrific swansong, "Baby..." is from the monster "Frampton Comes Alive" set, and "Hateful" is one of the "18 New Songs From The Only Band That Matters" from the album with the best cover photo ever.
We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("Where are the tests?"), already in progress.
