2. Bleached - "Electric Chair"
3. Cities Aviv - "Coastin'"
4. Natalie Cole - "Paper Moon" (orig. sung by Peggy Healy with Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra, made famous by Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, others)

Another lovely mix. Natalie Cole with one of her dad's standards. The Aushua song is quite lovely, Angel Haze is a badass rapper. And the Tori Amos recreation of "Home On The Range" is one of my all time favorite things. Half of them not available on Spotify this week :(

iTunes Shuffle 11/6/15

1. William Fitzsimmons - "Beautiful Girl"
2. Gang Gang Dance "Nomad For Love (Cannibal)"

William Fitzsimmons is one of those singer-songwriters you can simply call "special." Then Gang Gang Dance, The Cranberries and Morphine make a nice trio.

David Byrne & St. Vincent brilliant (not on Spotify, but do not skip, it's gorgeous), DJ Shadow an old favorite, and of course, the great Kate Bush.
