Made in the Shade

From the desk of Peter Crowley:

 

Like Peter Pan, the show sewed on its shadow this week as my friend Corey sat in. We didn't plan a theme, but one happened anyway: shadow songs, shadow band names. Just call us shade-tree DJs.

 

Several things snuck in under cover of the shadows, including a whole lot of twang and funk, plus new music from the reunited Jayhawks, Elvis Costello, Ha Ha Tonka, Steve Earle, Todd Snider, Cotton Jones and a Neil Young cover by She & Him that's full of lovely shades of gray. Thanks are due to a few music providers: Pete Seward, Uncle Paul, Paste Magazine, Bloodshot Records, Daytrotter.com, Ned, Kelly, Chris & Doug and Rock 105.
