It might be a Monday, but a long, lazy weekend is just days away. On tonight's TAS on FUV we'll launch headlong into the week with Savages, Villagers, Palma Violets, Superchunk, My Bloody Valentine, Radiohead, Smith Westerns and more. It being Monday (although not a gloomy one), we've got a Morrissey-style Shuffle plus The MIx-Up marries MGMT with Soulwax. It's TAS on FUV at 10!
Tom Jones is back with a new album called Spirit In The Room, and while hIs voice is unmistakable, his choice of songs might surprise you. The stripped-down sound is a new direction for Tom as well, and things got even more acoustic when he stopped by Studio A.
First Listen: Laura Marling, 'Once I Was An Eagle'
As I look out at your bright shining faces, I challenge you...to name a singer or musician who would make a good commencement speaker. As you go out into the world, think of whom you would like to give a graduation speech. Leave your suggestion in the comments below and we'll spin a set of those artists this morning.
Here's today's set:
1) "Hello in There" - John Prine
2) "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" - Pete Seeger
3) "Get Behind the Mule" - Tom Waits
4) "People Have the Power" - Patti Smith
On tonight's TAS on FUV, we'll dive into the weekend with new music from Mudhoney, Hands, !!! (Chk Chk Chk), Waxahatchee, Kurt Vile and Cloud Cult. Expect classic tracks courtesy of My Bloody Valentine, Liz Phair and PJ Harvey. Plus, in honor of their appearance at Brooklyn's sold-out Great GoogaMooga this weekend, a tasty Matt and Kim Shuffle. Tune in at 10!
