Weekend Music

 

Our weekend music comes courtesy of a collaboration between Aussie Courtney Barnett and Alabama native Waxahatchee (Kathryn Crutchfield).  This is "Site Unseen" from Barnett's upcoming album "Creature of Habit."  Hope you enjoy.

Weekend Musical Twofer

 

A somewhat random pairing today (maybe both with a whiff of Dylan influence?).  

On this day back in 1965, the album "Help!" was released in the U.K. (the inferior soundtrack album was released a week later in the U.S.).  It was the Beatles' fifth studio album.  A song that appeared on both the U.K. release and the soundtrack album was the John Lennon composition "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away."  Over the years it's been covered by the Beach Boys, The Silkie, and Waylon Jennings (!) among others.

Our other song is by Aussie singer- songwriter Courtney Barnett, "Rae Street," the lead single from her forthcoming album, "Things Take Time, Take Time."  Hope you enjoy.

Happy 2016 Weekend Song


Continuing on our Australian musician jag, this is a song suggested by our Silver Spring bureau chief Brian (who's missing his traveling wife) performed by the up- and- coming indy rock artist Courtney Barnett.  This is "An Illustration of Loneliness" from her debut album, released in March 2105.  Blogging will be light today, as you might expect.  Enjoy family and friends!
