Hello June June June 2012 playlist. Listen on Spotify:
Hello June! I’m home. Ahhh Summer. School’s (almost) out and we’re still young. Perhaps we oughta think it over and mellow out a little. That sun really gets to you.
1. Take Me With You When You Go - Jack White
Why not a little Jack White? He’s pretty good at this music stuff. Keeps it interesting.

2. Baby, We Were Young - The Dirty Guv’nahs.
Sort of a cross between the 70s rock anthem (see: Raise a Little Hell) and Woodstock’s theme from the Peanuts TV specials (the organ riffs). I love this fun band. They throw it all in there.

3. You Belong to Me - The Like
Sassy girl rock group. Can hear the Throwing Muse influences. Is this a cover? it sure has that feel… must research… sounds vaguely familiar.

4. The Sweetest Thing - JJ Grey & Mofro
Reminds me of old Otis, Al Green-ish stuff. I’m a sucker for this sound.

5. A Long Time - Mayer Hawthorne
This is Andy’s pick. He hears them on XM — reminds of Fitz & The Tantrums blue-eyed souly, Hall & Oates revisited sound.

6. Dancing With The DJ - The Knocks
More in that souly, dancing vein. Not sure how I bounced into this on Spotify. Or has this already been on one of Brant’s lists and I just forgot? I bet that it’s.

7. Fairytale - Alexander Rybak
The Norwegian Bieber! well, his voice sounds more like Wayne Newton. Still, there’s something irresistable about this… But if you ask me again in a few months, I may hate it.

8. Walk Away - Dia Frampton
Foster The Voice Winner from last season. A little pumped up kick of a confection from a TV singing show winner, that is kinda appealing even if it sounds like a lot of other things.

9. Slip - One Eskimo
Dreamy. Or maybe I just think it’s cool when a band makes the song title the first word of the song.

10. The Devil Never Sleeps - Iron and Wine
Used to hear this band on Daytrotter lots — mostly there kinda slow draggy draggy stuff, but this song pepped up a little like the Grateful Dead did every now and then.

11. Mountain Women - The Kinks
Megan recommended this Kink’s Muswell Hillbilly album (hey, she owns a record store - she knows her stuff). And we just finished watching the Hatfields & McCoys mini-series… so you know…

12. Nowhere - Wild Nothing
Reminds me a little of The Beautiful South- except the vocals aren’t as powerful. But they’ve got that same melodic male / female call and response thing and delicate layered deal going on.

13. I Will - Ruby Winters
Another track that I’m not sure if Brant already listed! Found Ruby on a collection of girl groups album and this one just sort of stuck out as a winner. A Idol ballad, that no one on Idol will ever sing.

14. Baby, You Oughta Think it Over - Bobby Womack
Going back in time as much as I go forward. Just sort of pairs up well with the Ruby Winters’ song. And I think JJ Grey & Mofro probably listen to a lot of Womack for inspiration as well.

15. The Edge of the Universe - Bee Gees
Honoring the late Robin Gibb. I have Main Course on vinyl and have always love love loved the last song on the second side. Hey, it’s about a dog. Love this whole album - it sort of bridges the “old” Bee Gee stuff to the beginnings of their disco era. Best of both really.
