Thirty For Thursday Volume 14 for Xmas

Don't worry it's not ALL Christmas songs...

Actually, a special shout goes to Summer Abbott for partial inspiration for this week's selections. She introduced me to Allen Stone this week. I wanted to add a few other singer-songwriter types in there and then supplemented with a few Christmas songs that you might not have heard.

FYI

If (by some chance) someone new finds this...

Thirty for Thursday is something I came up with for friends that were interested in what I have been listening to. 30 minutes of music (more or less) that I put together every Thursday. It's one long track (kind of like a podcast, I guess) since the first playlist that I tried to share, seemed too complicated for some folks. 30 minutes is about 2/3 of my drive to work and when I think of where my friends live, it's just about right for them as well.

I don't know who downloads these or who listens, but I don't have a set plan every week. Some times a theme, others not. Most times I put similar sounding songs together which is a product of years of djing and trying to keep a "flow" going on the dance floor.

I have mostly kept the extremes of my musical taste off of here (no Slayer yet) just since, like I said, I don't know who is checking this out.

leave a comment if you find this and enjoy. =)

Aloha

Late, but still thankful

I'm not gonna lie: I totally forgot to get this done by Thursday. With only 3 days at work, Thanksgiving on Thursday and most especially heading out to The Shrine on Wednesday night, I didn't plan any time to get this done.

It's done now and given the delays, I chose some tracks that reflect the last few days.

You can listen to it here:



or right-click on this for the download.

Thanksgiving tracklist goes like this:

1. Serene - Jeff Beck (from his 2010 album...one of the things I borrowed from the library the other day)

2. Be Thankful For What You've Got (DJ Day's Edit) - William DeVaughn (thankful for Soundcloud and for Day's edits)


3. I Thank You (Shelter Blaze Vox Mix) - Stephanie Cooke (not really Thanksgiving, but she does say Thank You a lot)

4. 1960 What? (Wicked Jazz Sounds Radio Edit) - Gregory Porter (caught him at The Shrine on Wednesday night with FLX opening up and he was fantastic. I got this from Giant Step but am looking at the whole album on Amazon...so good AND available for digital d/l!)

5. Indigo Blues ft Nicole Graham - Llorca (the Greg Porter had me breaking out this CD for the drive down...such a great album all the way through house, broken beat, downtempo.

6. Thank You Baby - Syl Johnson (another Thank You...this time with Chicago connections)

enjoy, my friends. Love to you and your families.

Back! with Thirty For Thursday Volume 10

Hi again,

The computer is still not at 100% and I lost a bunch of stuff from iTunes with the hard-drive re-sectoring, but I've backed up what I could and am waiting to get a new hard-drive when the prices comes down. Been itching to get another one of these done so much so, that I actually had one done that ended up mostly instrumental, but after a listen, it got a bit boring so came up with a new one. Little more diversity here, but just so you know it starts slow then picks up.

As usual, you can listen/play this:



or right-click as "save as" on this for the download.

Here is the menu for today.

1. Just A Dream featuring Erro - Larry Gold presents Don Cello and friends
(yes...the Erro from here)

2. 30 Some Days - Matt Duke

3. One Tree Hill - U2 (watched a very cool documentary on the making of The Joshua Tree on Netflix and got me wanting to listen to the CD...still love this so much)

4. Can't Hide Love (feat Bilal) - The Randy Watson Experience (look them up)

5. Red Light (feat Q-Tip) - Ginger Rose

6. Abundance - PPP (Platinum Pied Pipers)

7. 7 Day Fool (whiskey barons edit) (cool how that worked out! I didn't even plan it) - Etta James

42
