When I hit shuffle last week and saw that this week's mix would start with "Cloud On My Tongue," I knew I was in for a weird week, and it delivered. Other highlights include the second Tori song and the Carrie Rodriguez/Ben Kyle duet. Perfection.

Weird, wonderful mix. The Paul Banks, Cocteau Twins, Jason Lytle trilogy makes the entire thing worth it. The Shins finish it wonderfully. Also, other songs.

iTunes Shuffle 4/4/14

1. Metric - "Monster Hospital"
2. Beck - "The Golden Age"
3. The Mynabirds - "Radiator Sister"
4. Cocteau Twins - "Dear Heart" (BBC Sessions)

7. Cocteau Twins - "When Mama Was Moth"
8. The Doors - "The End"
9. The Band Of Heathens - "I Ain't Running"
10. The Rosebuds - "No Ordinary Love" (Sade cover)

Cocteau Twins twice in one mix? I'll take it. The Rosebuds cover of Sade's great "No Ordinary Love" is stellar. And for pure, raw emotion, the selection from The Doors is one of my favorites. Another great week of music.

The Rosebuds is the only one not on Spotify, but don't miss it.
