The Sunday Shuffle

I meant to start back this back up last Sunday, but as you all know the site decided to throw up on itself. The plan was to include a bunch of songs carried over from last year that didn’t make the cut on the song list, and just have something fun for all of you to listen to on this lazy afternoon. Listening to a lot of these, i’m questioning myself as to why I forgot about how I forgot about some of them in the first place.
For those unfamiliar, every Sunday (not consistent at all) I would tackle any number of randomly selected songs. The format would change every so often, but the result always remains the same.
MP3: Mystery Jets :: “Young Love (feat. Laura Marling)”
- Ever seen a picture of these guys? Ugly dudes.
MP3: Minisnap :: “New Broom”
- Another good song from a band I never really mentioned on the blog.
MP3: The Lodger :: “Good Old Days”
- Jangly guitar goodness.
MP3: The School :: “Let it Slip”
- This is a fine pop song, in the vein of other 60s girl group revivalists (ex. Lucky Soul, Pipettes, etc.)
MP3: Noah and the Whale :: “Five Years Time”
- I think this was on some car commercial. Just maybe.
MP3: Headlights :: “Cherry Tulips”
- Love the chorus on this one.
MP3: Ra Ra Riot :: “Oh, La”
- I never mentioned Ra Ra Riot at all last year, but I always liked this song.
MP3: The Radio Dept. :: “Freddie & The Trojan Horse”
- Bring out that new album right now. Thanks.
MP3: Lightspeed Champion :: “Tell Me What It’s Worth”
- This song introduced me to Emmy the Great. A million thank-you’s.
