Black Friday is coming, a mere ten days away, so we really had to get creative when adding this week's new spins (read: Not everything is essentially new TODAY, per se, but new in the sense that, yeah, it was released within the last few months - or older. Yeah. Sorry.). We did get some R.E.M., Thee Oh Sees, Future Islands, The Joy Formidable, Florence + The Machine, plus great new music from Jared Lekites and Anton Mink. We also feature a catchy song from a band called The Bandana Splits as well as lots of stuff from my excursion to Austin last weekend for Fun Fun Fun Fest.
Fun Fun Fun Fest was the most Fun Fun Fun I had all year, and I'll have a full report in a few days. Today, however, we must focus on the new stuff, so I digress.
But wait.
We're still holding off on the holiday music until after Thanksgiving. Much, much, much after Thanksgiving. It just seems like the right thing to do. Heck, with today's economy, the last thing we want to do here at Jivewired is put any pressure on all y'all to accelerate the already far-too-early holiday shopping season. That being said, we have "A Christmas Story" playing on repeat on the home office television. OK, peer pressure accounted for. Again, sorry.
Here's something interesting. When you get a chance, rent the movie "Slapshot" starring Paul Newman from 1977. Aside from the wacky antics of Newman and the Hanson Brothers and some great hockey scenes, there is a pillow talk scene between Paul Newman and Melinda Dillon, the woman who plays Ralphie's mom in "A Christmas Story". I guarantee you will see Melinda Dillon in a whole new light because you will see a whole lot more of Melinda Dillon. Amazing. Who knew that the person credited only as "Mother" in that Christmas classic was so amazingly sexy? They're real and they're spectacular. Enough said.
We also officially say goodbye to R.E.M. with three songs off of their final greatest hits collection that was released on 11.11.11 -- "Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage (1982-2011)" -- good luck and godspeed to one of the most influential bands of all time and a personal favorite, that for me, is right up there with the Beatles.
You may disagree with that statement, but R.E.M. was that good and though maybe not nearly as innovative, they are the fathers of college rock, and that says a whole lot. I'm left feeling a little verklempt. Discuss amongst yourselves.
Hey - an aside here -- I have a new twitter account that is less Jivewired and well.... more me, and I'd like you to follow. Mention that you read the blog as well and I'll send you something really groovy. Follow me on twitter: @JivewiredCEO -- I'll even make it easy for you, here is a direct link -- @JivewiredCEO - I'm not sure but I think all you have to do is click on that underlined thingy and it will teleport you directly to my twitter account. I love technology.
Every Tuesday we air "New Spins Tuesday", a show dedicated solely to the new music we add into rotation each week, usually between 40 and 60 tracks. The show airs from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM CST followed immediately by The Metal Deli from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM and then The Mixtape Jones Radio Show from 8:00 PM to midnight. The songs we air on "New Spins" are also placed into permanent rotation so you can catch them by listening to Jivewired Radio anytime if you cannot catch us on Tuesdays. Enjoy!
