Shuffled Wednesday - Weather Whiplash

After the balmy temps last week, we got about 4-5 inches of heavy, wet, snow overnight. Travel wasn't advised, so we chilled at TWDQ HQ until it stopped. The sun came out and there was just enough charge left in the blower's batteries to clear things out.

The slim blue iPod Touch had plenty of battery, so Let's...Hit...Shuffle!

Van Morrison - Crazy Love
Neko Case & Her Boyfriends - Furnace Room Lullaby
Bruce Springsteen - The Power of Prayer
Uncle Tupelo - I Wish My Baby Was Born
Peter Himmelman - Between the Damage and the Dust
The Jam - Down In the Tube Station at Midnight
The Hold Steady - Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night
Boz Scaggs - Miss Sun
Slim Dunlap Band - Breeder's Cannonball
Bryan Ferry - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Bonus 11
Bruce Springsteen - Girls In Their Summer Clothes (Winter Mix)

A Van tune from "Moondance" kicks things off this week, Neko wails on the title track from her second album, mid-tempo Bruce from 2020's "Letter to You", then three harrowing tales from Tupelo, Himmelman and The Jam. After that, The Hold Steady preaches, Boz brings some groove, the recently-departed Slim Dunlap giddily mashes up The Breeders with "Wabash Cannonball" and Brian Ferry croons to close it out. The bonus track is more Bruce, a bit more understated than the version on his fine "Magic" album.

We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("So he really does run DOGE after all?"), already in progress. Please keep the discussion civil and do not wander off into "How do you 'support the troops' while you're laying off VA workers?")  

Discuss.
