Subway Shuffle: 6/14/11

Hell of a mix of tunes that I heard on my way to (and from) work earlier today. Some old, some new but some fantastic songs in there. Most you probably know but if not, give a listen to one of the older songs like "Birth of Words", one of my alltime favorites.

Ed Ved on Kings of Leon

"You're about to ride a big wave"........ - Eddie Vedder to Caleb Followill after hearing "Only By The Night".

Taken from THIS recent NY Times article. I'd say he nailed it.

Subway Shuffle: 9/14/10

SUBWAY SHUFFLE 9/14/10

Track #1: Pearl Jam: "Unthought Known"
Track #2: Kings of Leon: "Use Somebody"
Track #3: Empire of the Sun: "Walking on a Dream"
Track #4: Arcade Fire: "Half Light I"
Track #5: The Black Keys: "Never Gonna Give You Up"

After a long workday I hit a great group of songs on the way home.......

"Unthought Known" - My favorite song off Pearl Jam's latest album "Backspacer", judging by the live shows I caught this one has quickly become a fan favorite.

"Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no one's rival".......


"Use Somebody" - Everybody knows this song (at least I think), heard it pretty much everywhere over the last year. Still love it though, one of those songs I never change once it comes on.


"Walking on a Dream" - Dig this band, Empire of the Sun. This song always reminds me of my last job where we'd play these guys almost daily. Cool music, bet they'd put on a fun show.


"Half Light I" - Chill song from Arcade Fire, off their most current album "The Suburbs". Not my favorite tune on the album but it's such a good record that there's not much I can't enjoy. Like the part at 2:11 where it really kicks in.


"Never Gonna Give You Up" - I wrote a bit about this song a little while back HERE. Definitely one of my favorite tunes off the most recent Black Keys album, "Brothers".

Kings of Leon will be releasing a new album "Come Around Sundown" on October 19th. The first single will be "Radioactive", here's a sneak-peak.
