It has been awhile since I have posted on blogger. During my absence I haven't really missed blogging but I do find myself wanting to put together a Tuesday Morning Music Mix every once and awhile. I guess I decided to put this one together because I discovered "Alabama Shakes" last night on SNL. I can usually count on the musical mavens at SNL to point me at two new musicians that I will love a season. Alabama Shakes is the first one this season. Please Enjoy...

Tuesday Morning Music Mix

Sunday Supple Sounds

Grimes - Oblivion (live at Grimey's)

I have been obsessed with Grimes as of late. Her music reminds me of something I have experienced in dreams. I believe that I stumbled on Grimes on Katies FB but it may have been Kristas. I can't remember which since those two are always posting interesting music in eachothers feeds.

Coco Rosie - Japan (live)

No Tueday Morning Music Mix reunion post would be complete without some Coco Rosie. In the interest of keeping is classic yet fresh I have chosen a live version of Japan. Japan has always reminded me of a lunatic parade and the live performance really captures that.

Alabama Shakes - Hold On (Konk Session)

In the days of autotune and lipsyncing it's kind of hard to believe that Alabama Shakes is for real. I listened to four different versions of this song this morning and all of them sounded the same, and they all sounded exactly like their performance on SNL last night. They are one well rehersed band.

Haim - Forever

I discovered Haim on Grimes' tumblr before she took it down. Not the type of music I usually listen to but it has managed to Brain Chigger me.

Well that's it. Hope it was enjoyed. Until next time...

Tuesday Morning Music Mix: 2010-08-17

Good morning my little droogies. It must be time for another Tuesday Morning Music Mix. This week I have opened up the format a bit. I have invited some people on my gmail to contribute. If you would like to play along at home all you have to do is become a follower. Blood offerings are not necessary but are always welcome. Next week your track could be in the Guest Musak Spot.

Pomplamoose - Experation Date. Pomplamoose is my big find of the week.

Dead Kennedys -  Holiday in Cambodia. Surf Rock meets the best kind of Political Punk.

Beck - Debra. I don`t think this is the official music video but it will have to do. I love how chaunchy this song is.

Sublime - Summertime. This song feel very appropriate.

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstron - Summertime. I used to have a version of this song on record that could make stone heart soft. This isn`t that version but it`s pretty damn close.

Nat King Cole - This song is as profound as it is sweet. I have heard many versions of it but this one is still the best.

Gil Scott Heron - B Movie. Gil brought out a new album this year. I have really enjoyed it. At the ripe old age of 61 Gil can still write poetry that changes the way I think about my life and the society around me. B Movie isn`t from that album, but it is one of my all time favorites.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - The Floor Show. Rocky Horror is my favorite musical of all time. I have listened to this soundtrack for longer than I can remember. I remember the day my Father played all the musical numbers from the movie for me. I must have been nine or ten. He fast forwareded through all the racy in between bits but still played fabulous musical numbers like `Sweet Transvestite` and `Rose Tint My World`.

Guest Muzaks

Guitar Wolf - Jet Generation. This is a very appropriate submission from James Pare. If it wasn`t for James I would have never found out about this quartet Japanese amplifier sadists. Wild Zero is a must for any fan of Zombies, Punk, or Japanese Craziness.

Of Montreal - Wraith Pinned to the Mist. This charming track is brought to DrunkClowns by the ever so talented Katie Francis. I had never heard this track before this morning but now find it stuck in my head.
