iTunes Shuffle 12/11/15

1. Redd Kross - "Stay Away From Downtown"
2. Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)"
3. Himanshu ft. Childish Gambino - "Womyn 2"

8. Dark Rooms - "Keep It Inside"
9. Peter Mulvey - "Airbag" (Radiohead cover)
10. Yamatanka // Sonic Titan - "Queens"

This playlist is schizophrenic all over the place. Hip-hop happens three times, the Josh Groban cover is stunning, and I am addicted to Peter Mulvey's cover of "Airbag." The Golden Filter is beautiful indie stuff, and Andrew Bird is a living genius.

iTunes Shuffle 12/4/15

1. Alanis Morissette - "Citizen Of The Planet"
2. AM & Shawn Lee - "Good Blood" (JetTricks remix)

7. Joe Marson and the Satisfied Mind - "The Creek Where Joseph Used To Swim"
8. Garth Brooks - "Papa Loved Mama"

10. Timber Timbre - "Bad Ritual"

Fabulous mix here. I must say the great highlights are Joe Marson, Timber Timbre, and Freelance Whales, followed by Rey Pila, AM & Shawn Lee, and Carolina Story. Not really a bad song in the mix.

As usual, you can't listen to Garth Brooks on the internet, because he is a dick.
