Morning Mix 11/30/09

Post-Thanksgiving and ready for three weeks of work before I go home for Christmas:

• Fall On Me - R.E.M.
• Lovecats - the Cure
• On and On - the Longpigs
• Four Sticks - Led Zeppelin
• Sons of Cain - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
• So Much - the Sundays
• The Piccolo Snare - Super Furry Animals
• Big Red - Frank Black
• You're Not Very Well - Charlatans U.K.
• Squint - Grant Lee Phillips

Maybe the largest concentration of "acts I've seen live" today. All but Zeppelin, if you give me credit for Frank Black, who I've seen with the Pixies. And not one song released this year. Which reminds me, year end lists start soon. Here are the Longpigs and Frank Black.

Morning Mix 11/6/09

Let's get to it:

• Break Me Gently - Doves
• The Tourist - Radiohead
• Misty Mountain Hop - Led Zeppelin
• Show Me Mary - Catherine Wheel
• Bad - U2
• Seen the Light - Supergrass
• Ontario - the Posies
• Modern Love (David Bowie Cover) - the Last Town Chorus

Lots of British stuff today until the Posies came in and broke the streak. Every time I hear Show Me Mary, I can never tell at the beginning whether it's that song or Wembley, by the Candy Skins. I'd post the vids, but Universal doesn't want me embedding videos, so here's the lovely Megan Hickey instead.
