Saturday Shuffle 68

 


Another week, another shuffle

First out the blocks this week is R.E.M. with Radio Free Europe. It is the first track from the band's 1993 debut album Murmur and was the one which first brought the band to the world's attention. Coincidentally I gave Murmur a spin earlier in the week for the first time in ages.

Somewhat criminally Martha and the Vandellas have only ever graced these pages once before when Nowhere to Run featured as part of a tribute following the death of Lamont Dozier  Honey Chile is yet another song taken from the compilation Jon Savage's 1968:The Year the World Burned.

I'm sure our final act Los Texmaniacs would feel privileged to appear with such exalted company. I think that Polka Politos is the third song from their Americano Groove album to appear in the Shuffle and it is a mighty fine finale.

More of the same  or maybe something different next Saturday.
