Nuggets 250 - Morning Voices 12

http://html5.grooveshark.com/playlist/Nuggets+250+Morning+Voices/84849801

An early morning mix; mellow, haunting and occasionally twee.

For those curious about the Carpenters track that rounds off this mix, read more here.

Here’s some videos.

Jenny O. Automechanic.

Cate le Bon – Hollow Trees House Hounds. Give her a big hand, she’s Welsh!

CocoRosie – End of Time. Totally bonkers. Many reviewer give the Casady sisters a D- but they have their supporters.  I like them fine.

The Luyas – Fifty / Fifty

Waxahatchee – Swan Dive. Katie Crutchfield is all grown up now, so I suppose there won’t be so much screaming, which is a shame.

Widowspeak – Ballad of the Golden Hour

Low – So Blue

Ariel Pink – Only in Dreams. Crazy but good. He has a few demons.

Angel Olsen. She can sing and yoddle at the same time. No mean feat. I am impressed by how quiet the crowd is in this clip of her singing.

Portland Cello Project attempt a track from Beck’s sheet music release.

Acid House Kings – Under Water. The Supremes meet Kraftwerk

Youth Lagoon – Rasberry Cane. Bedroom keyboard mystro made good. Saw him at SXSW2012, it looks like he made it back this year.

Nuggets 245 – Justified

Nuggets 245 - Justified

A few months back I went through a ‘Justified’ phase. I watched all 4 series of this modern take on a western. While the lead actor – Timothy Olyphant  – is a bit bland, the show is well written and has excellent character actors. I particularly enjoy Walton Goggins who plays the charismatic villain Boyd Crowder.

If you haven’t caught up with the show it has a familiar plot; small town kid makes good in the big city and is then sent back to his hometown. In Justified home is Harlan Kentucky and the small town boy done good is Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. Givens deals with villains who are usually his former school mates.

Flush with enthusiasm I put together this mix. In my mind’s eye the songs relate to characters with the theme song being track one. I did consider editing down a video with the characters and scenes that I was thinking of, but it didn’t happen. I have moved on and I am now fascinated by Äkta människor, a stylish Swedish Sci-fi about robots living among humans. Yep, short attention span.

Anywayz, I ended up with a most enjoyable mix. I will add some videos for the songs later.
