Thirty for Thursday 2

Back again for 30 more minutes. Get it here.

A bit bluesy this week if only because I have been thoroughly enjoying the Jimmy Vaughn song. That is my perfect groove right there.

This is the performance that was recorded for the album...celebrating Steve Ray Vaughn:


Here's the tracklist:

1. Six Strings Down - Jimmy Vaughn & Friends
2. Eliminate The Night - Joan Osborne
3. That's Why I'm Crying - Eric Lindell
4. Thankful - Jonny Lang
5. Two Doors Down - Me'Shell Ndegeocello
6. Kissin My Love (edit) - Marc Broussard
7. There Was A Time - The Dee Felice Trio (shout to Chubb Rock!)
8. The Place - Dj Format ft Chali 2Na


Aloha,
Sean

30 for Thursday Volume 1

I was talking to Miss Ellen Melon about her mix CD's ( of which I have a few) and how much I enjoyed the diversity on them. A DJ mix (for me anyway) has always had a steady build to it. Similar songs. I like Ellen's compilations. She said I should make more of my own. With this foray, I have yet to match the diversity, but we'll see how these develop.

30 minutes is about right. My commute to work is 50 minutes but when I think about where my friends are, 30 fits nicely. On the mainland, you may travel a bit longer than that, in Hawaii a bit shorter than that (depending on if you drive the speed limit on the Likelike) and 30 is do-able.

No playlist or complicated instructions this time. One track and I may or may not blend the songs together.

I couldn't have thought of the name if I wasn't already down with Thirsty Thirty. Check them out here.

Next week will have a bit of the blues to it.
