Andy "The Man-chester Orchestra" Hull

this playlist is a tribute to one of my favorite musicians: andy hull. he's the lead vocalist for "manchester orchestra", "right away, great captain!" and he also collaborates with the manchester band & kevin divine to form "bad books". his music has certainly inspired me, so here's hoping he does the same for you! sorry if it's not your cup of tea, but give it a shot!


1. Wolves At Night by M.O. - this is pretty much the song that made me develop my man crush.


2. Golden Ticket by M.O. - this is probably my favorite track off the "i'm like a virgin losing a child" album. i love how he backs off the mic at the end of the song. creates a pretty cool effect.


3. How This All Ends by B.B. - the track that starts off the album. freaking amazing. can't wait for bad books new album! should be out soon!


4. Pensacola by M.O. - pub chant = ALCOHOL, DIRTY MALLS, PENSACOLA, FLORIDA BARS!


5. Tony The Tiger by M.O. - good cereal mascot. great cereal music.


6. April Fool by M.O. - my dad had this one on his playlist, but i thought it was worth a re-post. he's got that rock and that roll!


7. Where Have You Been by A.H. - alright, let's take it down a notch. this is what i love about andy hull. he can rock hard with the best of them, but he knows how to deliver a softer song with the same punch.


8. When I Met Death by R.A.G.C. - might need to turn this one up a bit. for some reason this album was recorded at a very low volume. andy's work on this album is really incredible. The Church of the Good Thief. go get it.


9. Pride by M.O. - this song starts slow & then takes off like hull strapped himself to a rocket ship.


10. I've Got Friends by M.O. - the crowd pleaser.


11. Simple Math by M.O. - another re-post, but some of manchester's most beautiful work. couldn't leave it out.


12. Shake It Out by M.O. - it's almost blasphemous to play this version. i just stumbled upon it recently & i really like it now. but the original is where it's at. if you get a chance, go give it a listen. i absolutely hated it at first because it felt so different from the andy hull that i had begun to love... but holy crap is it ever an insanely tasty track.


13. Sleeper 1972 by A.H. - this is a live version of this song. andy really takes you somewhere with this one. listen all the way through cause there are some really special moments towards the end.


alright kids. hopefully y'all enjoyed that as much as i did! till next time.
