Shufflin' On

Protest music. Finally.  I'd been making do with Little Hitlers by Everything but the Girl all this time and never knew this song existed. This is me discovering Ani DiFranco for the first time.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shufflinon/support

This episode is an experiment. Instead of talking about something that's been on my ipod for years I am reading a letter to my gf about how I came across this awesome cover of the famed Thin Lizzy track, which I never expected I'd hear from Belle & Sebastian and never knew existed before today  Recorded in Belfast, in December 2001, and included on their 2008 'The BBC Sessions.'   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shufflinon/support

One that I come back to again and again, and like to think everyone who hears 'Something Big' ends up thinking  'they wrote this one just for me.' Bacharach and David wrote the song for Mark Lindsay, who did a beautiful version in 1971. The original made it out in 1973 and that's the one that found its way to my iPod.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shufflinon/support

One last song (from Brazil) before and for the new year. The weather is always beautiful in Brazilian music, and Fica Tudo Bem (All is Well) is a perfect example. Manages to sound like 1965 without sounding retro. Also thanks to you, awesome listeners - you made 2018 very special for Shufflin' On.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shufflinon/support
