READIN

Jeremy's journal

Although I have done it all these thirty years or more, although I live my life surrounded by other people who are always doing it, still I think that there are few activities so worthy of inspection as the reading of novels.

🦋 January is a good month for mixes.

I am greatly enjoying New Year's mixes from Steve of Hot Rox Avec Lying Sweet Talk and from Tim W. of The Great Whatsit. Steve's is a mix of his favorite cover versions of the past few years. Mostly new listening for me, and most of the tunes are ones I'm familiar with. I always find it exciting to hear new takes on songs I love. And Tim's is a list of new songs from this year, almost none of which I've heard before or even heard of.

Here is my contribution to the disk-jockeying fray:

    Los once: Jeremy's 2011 Mix

  1. "Hanohano Hawai'i" -- Sol Ho'opi'i's Novelty Trio
  2. "I Wouldn't Mind Dying" -- The Carter Family
  3. "I Love You Because" -- Ernie Tubb
  4. "You Met Your Match" -- Stevie Wonder
  5. "I Watch the Cars" -- Robyn Hitchcock
  6. "Starvation Blues" -- Big Bill Broonzy
  7. "Movin Day" -- The Holy Modal Rounders
  8. "Little Birdie" -- The Stanley Bros.
  9. "Ain't Misbehavin" -- Stéphane Grappelli
  10. "Belly Full of Arms and Legs" -- Robyn Hitchcock
  11. "Sikiliza" -- The Lafayette Afro Band
  12. "Pretty Polly" -- B.F. Shelton
  13. "Rock of Ages" -- Christian Kiefer
  14. "Sing You Sinners" -- Fletcher Henderson
  15. "Burning Up" -- Mutiny
  16. "Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues" -- Bob Dylan
  17. "I Know You Rider" -- The Grateful Dead
  18. "Famous Blue Raincoat" -- Leonard Cohen
  19. "Kanes Blues" -- The Kanek Hawai'ians
These are all songs I connect with discovering a new musical interest -- some quite recently, some in memory over the years as far back as high school. I hope everyone has a good, eventful year in 2011, gets to enjoy plenty of newly discovered and long-nurtured interests.

I haven't quite ironed out all the tagging issues with the mp3s of these songs. I will post a link in comments later on when I get the tape together.
