I had a special guest on the Mystery Train this morning - cellist Jonathan Kirkscey came on the show this morning to play his five favorite songs. In addition to teaching and composing, Jonathan plays with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra as well as Mouse Rocket, Glorie and Harlan T. Bobo. (Sorry I forgot to get a picture of him - it was early, and I spaced it because we got to talking.) I'm trying something new this week - I got a Spotify account, and I'm building playlists for the Mystery Train. You won't always be able to listen to every song, but you can at least hear most of the show if you missed it. You do have to have an account to listen. Here's this week's playlist on Spotify. Here's what I played on the show this morning, with the local tracks noted with an asterisk: Paul Robeson - Summertime The Egyptians - Party Stomp Cee-lo Green - You're So Square (Baby, I Don't Care) Arrah and the Ferns - Tokyo, Tokyo Vampire Weekend - Campus Beirut - East Harlem Carolina Chocolate Drops - Memphis Shakedown Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control Mouse Rocket - Hello, Talk to Me Four Preps - 26 Miles Thao - When We Swam Real Kids - All Kindsa Girls Magnetic Fields - Absolutely Cuckoo Dominique Walter - Les Petits Boudins Iron and Wine - Free Until They Cut Me Down John Paul Keith and the 1,4,5s - Memphis Girls Jonathan Richman - That Summer Feeling Wanda Jackson - Hard Headed Woman They Might Be Giants - Anna Ng Ramones - Rock'n'Roll High School Slow Club - Giving Up on Love Sonics - Strychnine Frightened Rabbit - Nothing Like You Jens Lekman - Black Cab Joe Jones - California Sun Jonathan Kirkscey's Five Favorites: Radiohead - In Memory of Harry Patch Phillip Glass - Knee Play Five Scott Walker - It's Raining Today James Blake - Limit to Your Love Nico Muhly - Archive Yo La Tengo - Emulsified Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs - Money's My Problem Those Darlins - Drivin' Nails in My Coffin Micragirls - Queen of the Cavemen Silver Jews - Let's Not and Say We Did You can listen to the Memphis Mystery Train every Thursday morning from 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. on WEVL 89.9 FM in Memphis or online at wevl.org.
