Early Sunday morning, first cup of coffee (or beer) in hand, what album do you play first?? Today, I wanted to ease my way into the day, so I started with.....

Avalon-Roxy Music (1982)

How about you??
 
Busy morning so far, had to drive 62 miles RT to check the GH and water the plants at school. Renovation project as cut ALL power to the entire campus for 2 weeks. No GH cooling system, no automatic watering systems, lots of extra plants to maintain by handwatering. So, the Sunday morning setlist started with...

London Calling - The Clash (1979)
 
It's too quiet this morning for music.... Except for the ringing in my ears!
 
I'm feeling a bit sluggish this morning from too much beer, and too little sleep. I'd love to go with something like Sammy Hagar, very loudly, to get my blood flowing. Unfortunately, I don't think my wife would enjoy waking up that way, so I've instead gone with Patsy Cline - All Time Greatest Hits.
 
Been there, drank that, don't miss the heavy beer nights of my youth, or the NEXT morning!. Took my little battery operated stereo system with me to school this morning, glad there was no one around cause it cranks pretty good...
 
Melody Gardot - My One and Only Thrill (2009)

I think I'll travel to Louisiana, too, (in my mind), and put on some Sonny Landreth next.
 
Turned on "Wildflowers" from Tom Petty when I was out running errands this morning.

My favorite Sunday morning coffee album might be "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars" from David Bowie. "Five Years" is one of my favorite opening tracks off of any album.
 
Imasick, didn't have any Rebirth with me last week but did finish the day at a shrimp and crab boil, listening to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band!!!

This week, I'm on an acoustic guitar instrumental theme. So far:

The Best of the Capitol Years (2003) - Leo Kottke

Friday Night in San Francisco (1981) - Al Di Meola / John McLaughlin / Paco de Lucía

One Guitar, No Vocals (1999) - Leo Kottke

Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) - Rodrigo y Gabriela
 
Bono says he wrote "In a Little While" about a hangover.

In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there

Ah ooh ooh
Ah ooh ohh
In a little while
I won't blown by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees
 
I was in the mood for something different this morning, and needed help to clear some cobwebs, so I went with Infectious Grooves - Sarsippius' Ark (1993).

Once I get moving around a bit more, I'll probably move on to some Suicidal Tendencies.

Definitely not typical Sunday morning fare.
 
Trying to start the morning off a bit more upbeat. Flogging Molly - Within a Mile of Home (2004)
 
Good morning, got a touch of melancholy this a.m. that shows up on the setlist today. New school year starts tomorrow, so the plan is to get that feeling out of the system early!! The morning mix includes the following:

Diamonds and Gasoline - Turnpike Troubadours (2010)
Hollywood Town Hall - The Jayhawks (1992)
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams (1998)
Trace - Son Volt (1995)
Black Cadillac - Rosanne Cash (2006)
Too Long in the Wasteland - James McMurtry (1989)
Southeastern - Jason Isbell (2013)
Bramble Rose - Tift Merritt (2002)
 
Ima,
Yeah, I love Jay Farrars' voice and lyrics, and try to see him/Son Volt every time they pass through DFW. Trace may be the strongest album from them, but his newer music is great, just takes a little more time to appreciate. I hope that you have some Jason Isbell, he is outstanding! Saw him open for Son Volt in Austin a couple of years back, even the wife who leans towards show tunes, loved his songs and distinct voice.
Thanks for the heads up on Infectious Grooves last week!
 
Melancholia cured by Americana music binge...Now American Rock (live versions)!

At Fillmore East - The Allman Brothers Band
Waiting for Columbus - Little Feat
Europe '72 Wigan England - Grateful Dead
Live Bullet - Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
 
The great jazz recording engineer, Rudy Van Gelder, passed away earlier this week. So, the Sunday setlist starts with a small selection of the classic albums that he recorded:

The Magnificent Thad Jones - Thad Jones
Groovy - Red Garland Trio
El Hombre - Pat Martino
Sidewinder - Lee Morgan
Something Else - Cannonball Adderley
Blue Trane - John Coltrane
 
Well, that didn't last too long...

Wife woke up and decided that she wanted to make a chicken/sausage gumbo for next weekend. Already went to the grocery store for ingredients, prepped the meats to cook on the grill, chopped the trinity and fired up the burner for the gumbo pot, all to the loud strains of Classic 60's rock.

Happy wife, happy life....
 
REAL late to post the setlist for today, lots of family duties on the Labor Day weekend

Spent the morning with my older brother, doing chores and odd jobs for our elderly mother. He's lives in the NH, we don't see each other that often...So I brought tunes to work by that included lots of late 1970's/early 1980's New Wave as a flashback to our college days including:

The B-52's - The B-52's
Look Sharp - Joe Jackson
My Aim Is True - Elvis Costello
Damn the Torpedo's - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Squeezing out Sparks - Graham Parker & the Rumour
London Calling - The Clash
Pretenders - The Pretenders
The Cars - The Cars
 
Wide selection of classical music, mostly Bach concerto's and various classical guitar pieces. I've bought lots of .99 cent Amazon classical downloads, most have 4-6 HOURS of music.
 
I have mixed thoughts about the setlist this morning. Besides the memories of 9/11/01, the day carries added personal significance as my father passed on 9/11/12. So the setlist has albums that I was listening to in 2001 and, for Dad, one of his favorite albums:

2001
Beachwood Sparks - When We Were Trees
Gorillaz - Gorillaz
Drive-By Truckers - Southern Rock Opera
Ryan Adams - Gold
New Pornographers - Mass Romantic
Pete Yorn - musicforthemorningafter
The Old 97's - Satellite Rides

R.I.P. Dad
John Coltrane - My Favorite Things
 
I went with Bad Religion - True North (2013)

I'm not sure where I go from here. Maybe some Jimmy Buffett, or some Midnight Oil.
 
Three Days Grace - One-X (2006) is on tap this morning. I'll be firing up the kettles soon, and will probably do some more TDG, and some AC/DC as well.
 
IMA, great plan for the morning, musically and productivity-wise. What ya brewing?

I've got home improvement projects today, brewing next weekend.... Planning a porter and a blonde, one must keep the wife happy!

The cleaning and construction SOUL setlist includes:

Jr. Walker & the Allstars
The Temptations
The Supremes
Otis Redding
Jackson 5
Smokey & The Miracles
and any other Motown, Stax or Philly I can find in the next 10 minutes....must get STARTED!
