iTunes Shuffle 7/31/15

1. Low - "On My Own"
2. Neko Case - "The Next Time You Say Forever"
3. Kate Bush - "Prologue"
4. James Vincent McMorrow - "Follow You Down To The Red Oak Tree"
5. Amanda Palmer ft. Peaches & Young Punx - "Map Of Tasmania" (The Young Punx Club Mix)
6. Iron And Wine - "Pagan Angel And A Borrowed Car"
7. Deana Carter - "Love Ain't Worth Making"
8. Brad Paisley - "Make A Mistake"
9. Paul Weller - "That Dangerous Age"
10. Jolie Holland - "The Future"

Low is quite simply one of the best bands ever. And the rest of this mix delivers too. I mean, shit, Neko Case to Kate Bush to James Vincent McMorrow, one of my new favorites? The Amanda Palmer is fun, and then we get brilliant Iron and Wine. God, I have the best music library.

And then we have two random commercial country songs, because that exists in my library too and we don't talk about it.

Ending with Jolie Holland is lovely, too.

Don't not listen to Kate Bush just because she's not on the playlist.

iTunes Shuffle 7/24/15

1. Robert Francis - "Take You To The Water"
2. Elbow - "Mirrorball"
3. The Weeknd - "Heaven Or Las Vegas"
4. Robert Francis - "Pilgrims"
5. Casiotone For The Painfully Alone - "Killers"
6. Alcoholic Faith Mission - "We Need Fear"
7. The Jive Monkey Trio - "Giant Steps (Coltrane)" (John Coltrane cover)
8. Aloha - "Mountain" (DT)
9. Leonard Cohen "Recitation" (w/ Neil Larsen) (live)
10. Crystal Stilts - "Sycamore Tree"

If an artist is going to appear twice, you can't get much better than Robert Francis. Sweet Jesus that man is pretty, and he writes brilliantly. Let's look at a picture of him and then I'll write other things after that, after I get back from fapping in my bunk.

And the Elbow and The Weeknd. This mix STAYS pretty. Casiotone For The Painfully Alone = Owen Ashworth, a brilliantly underrated songwriter who now performs under the moniker Advance Base. Alcoholic Faith Mission is as cool as their band's name sounds.

And then the Leonard Cohen recitation. Sweet lord. Nothing like it.

iTunes Shuffle 7/17/15

1. Brian Eno w/ Jon Hopkins & Leo Abrahams - "2 Forms Of Anger"
2. Denison Witmer - "Light On My Face"
3. Death Cab For Cutie - "Transatlanticism"
4. PUJOL - "Providence"
5. Future - "Itchin"
6. Caribou - "Leave House"
7. Tom Waits - "Jockey Full Of Bourbon"
8. Kelly Rowland - "Rose Colored Glasses"
9. Girl Talk - "Make Me Wanna"
10. Active Child - "Diamond Heart"

This mix is lovely. Especially the first three tracks, and the Tom Waits. Also, out of 34,000 on the iTunes at the moment, it's so weird when things come up twice in several weeks, as the Kelly Rowland appeared in June.

Oh, and the Active Child thing is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

iTunes Shuffle 7/10/15

1. Moby - "Porcelain"
2. Gram Parsons ft. Emmylou Harris - "Sleepless Nights" (alternate version) (Everly Brothers cover)
3. The Black Lillies - "Reason To Believe" (Bruce Springsteen cover)
4. Ben Harper - "Touch From Your Lust"
5. Foals - "Blue Blood"
6. Sheryl Crow - "Maybe That's Something"
7. Miranda Lambert - "Baggage Claim"
8. Jens Lekman - "Waiting For Kirsten"
9. James Vincent McMorrow - "If I Had A Boat"
10. Maps & Atlases - "Winter"

Another GORGEOUS mix. And oh my god, James Vincent McMorrow is my new favorite.

iTunes Shuffle 7/3/15

1. King Tuff - "Wild Desire"
2. Chelsea Wolfe - "The Warden"
3. AM & Shawn Lee - "Winter Sun"
4. M. Ward - "Duet For Guitars #3"
5. Fanfarlo - "Tightrope"
6. Angel Haze - "Hot Like Fire"
7. David's Lyre - "This Time"
8. Waterdeep - "Get It Together"
9. SBTRKT ft. Little Dragon - "Wildfire"
10. Al Lewis - "Battles"

Well this mix sure does have some beautiful music. Chelsea Wolfe, AM & Sean Lee, the instrumental from M. Ward. And that's just the first half.

Angel Haze is a badass rap lady, and there is a Christian band on here, but it is not David's Lyre! SBTRKT is great, and OMG Al Lewis. I'll put the studio version of him on the playlist, but I'll put also put a vid of him performing it live because SEXXX.

Another great mix.
