Radio Playlist: New Music January 2013

Onward into 2013, and time for a Spotify update for new music (see December playlist here).  As always, it's limited in that if an artist hasn't chosen to post a song on Spotify, I can't put it on the list, nor can I feature songs from as-yet-unreleased albums.  But next month's playlist is only, er, a month away.

Check out the list here or go right here if you're in Spotify.

Video: "Blue Clouds" - Elizabeth Mitchell and You Are My Flower

It's not easy for a songwriter to stand out on an album with covers of songs written by Bill Withers and David Bowie among others, but on "Blue Clouds," the title track from her new album out today, Elizabeth Mitchell and You Are My Flower give the lullaby her husband Daniel Littleton wrote for their daughter a gorgeous reading that makes it possibly the most indelible song on the album.

That's really all the excuse you need to watch this video.

Radio Playlist: New Music July 2012

I'm trying something a little bit different this time around with these radio playlists -- instead of posting an update to my Live365 station as I did for June, I've posted a Spotify update.  It's limited, of course, in that if an artist hasn't chosen to post a song on Spotify, I can't put it on the list (though I do have a list of stuff that would've posted had it been there -- see the end).  

Check out the list here or go right here if you're in Spotify.

Radio Playlist: New Music April 2012

Time again to update the Zooglobble radio station, covering assorted tracks collected in early spring 2012 (or late winter, depending on where you live here in the States).  You can see my February 2012 playlist here.

This playlist airs in the mid-afternoons (West Coast time), but if you can't listen in the afternoon, the tracks are scattered throughout the day, too. The listing below is in alphabetical order; the on-air play order is totally random (due to Internet music restrictions).

Alison Faith Levy - "Detours" (World of Wonder)

Bobby Susser - "Any Time of Day" (Wo!)

Candela y los Supremos - "Avutarda" (Minimúsica Vol.3 "Els animals")

Caspar Babypants -"Stompy The Bear" (Hot Dog!)

The Ditty Bops Beluga - "Whales" (Jelly For President - Yes We Jam)

Gaye Adegbalola  - "The Sunshine Shake" (Blues in All Flavors)

Gustafer Yellowgold - "Midsummer's Son" (Year In The Day)

Hand Aid - "Felt Around the World" (single)

Keola Beamer - "Pupu Hinuhinu (Shiny Shell Lullaby)" (Instrumental Dreamland)

Matt Clark - "When Will We Get There?" (Magic Cardboard Ride)

Miss Gail and the Jumpin' Jam Band - "Paint the Sky" (Quiet Time)

The Okee Dokee Brothers - "Can You Canoe?" (Can You Canoe?)

Story Laurie & Friends - "Apple Tree & The Bee" (Groovin' In The Garden)

Sugar Free Allstars & Recess Monkey - "Working Together" (single)

Adriana Maciel - "Samba Dos Animals" (Brazilian Playground)

Video: "There's a Band in My Head" - Dog on Fleas

Invisible Friends album coverDean Jones is a busy man -- producing albums for folks like Recess Monkey and Story Laurie while putting the finishing touches on a BRAND NEW DOG ON FLEAS ALBUM!  (Yes, I'm shouting, because that's great news, people.)

On top of all that, there's a new video to go along with a track from the new album, Invisible Friends, out in June (or April 24 via teh Internets).  The video for the song "There's a Band in My Head" is homemade, lo-fi, weird -- a little delirious, even -- and in its collage is greater than the sum of its parts.  Sorta like the song -- and band -- itself.
