NEXT Playlist for Week 4

Playlist for NEXT Week 4


The Concretes – Chosen One (in colour)
From Sweden. Since their formation as an all-female trio in 1995, they've added a few boys to the mix (the group now numbers eight) A lush wall of sound that reminds us a bit of Spector.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Turn it Again (Stadium Acaradium)
Double cd should make them a shoe in for the Hall of Fame in 2011. Now usually a double cd could be or should be just a single cd but on this one there is not a bad song. Unfortuately there’s not a great song either. Maybe they should have just released a single cd.

Aljendro Escovedo – Break this Time(the Boxing mirror)
You should have something by this guy in your collection. He is the real deal. He consistently puts out wonderful albums yet still remains under the radar. Start anywhere with this guy and get ready for the magic. A true artist in an age of pretenders, imitators and poseurs.

Shawn Mullins – We could go and start Again (9th avenue picking palour)
Atlanta-based Shawn Mullins headed southwest to make his new album.
The title, 9th Ward Pickin' Parlor, refers to the New Orleans studio where much of the record was cut.

The Weepies – the world spins madly on(say I am you)
An album of love in the melodic folk-pop vein with sweet harmonies, gentle guitar picking. If you’ve ever been in love or lost love then this cd will sound perfect. This song was also in Friends with Money.

The Wood Brothers – One more day
This is a “I don’t wan the party to end so a few friends are sitting on the porch sustaining the buzz” Cd. A mellower G.Love type vibe. This is a cd of Oliver Woods songs with his brother Chris Woods (best know as a the Woods part of Medseki, Martin and Woods) adding backing vocals and bass. Like drums and percussion on about half the tracks by Kenny Wollesen.

Morningwood – Knock on Wood (cover)
There have been almost enough covers of this song to play a different one each day of the year.
Now depending on how you feel, maybe how old you are or act and how many beers you’ve had. This band either has the coolest name or the world’s worst. Music from this New York band may be fluff but it’s fun fluff.

Human Television – tonight’s the night (Look at Who You Are Talking To)
Remember when REM was yours. Before Green. That is how I feel about Human Television. Now I am not saying that they will ever reach REM heights and in a way I hope Human Television stays mine. Well ours as I have just shared them with you. If they do hit is bigger then you can stay the used to be mine. Enjoy.

Regina Spektor – on the radio (Begin to Hope)
So Ben Folds and Fiona Apple walk into a bar…this new cd is a bit more poppy then her former jazzy piano jams. Not a bad thing. Her whimsical and quirkiness still shines through.

Paul Simon - Once upon a time there was an ocean (Surprise)
Still amazing after all these years. After taking a six year break Paul Simon is back with Surprise. He worked with Brian Eno on this one.

The Stills – She’s Walking out (Without Feathers)
a much different sound on this cd then on Logic Will Break Your Heart. If this cd was their first I’d be interested and think I can’t wait for number two and if “Logic” was their second release I’d be thinking “second coming” instead another lesson in be careful Anticipation leads to heartbreak.

Indigeous – Fool me again (chasing the sun)
When they first hit the scene screams of SVR has come again. All in the family. Two brother on guitar. Sister on drums and they throw in a cousin too. This fills the blues-rock

Hope you enjoyed the show. Thanks for listening and remember you can get the tunes as an iMix. Just search for an iMix named "Next week 4"

YouTube. This is just random and beautiful. MTV was too cool back then. Beck on 120 minutes in 1994.
