KDHX 88.1 FM
- Only You (live)-The Nth Power (Smooth, jazzy R&B sung from the heart. Glad to hear them perform live at KDHX...)
- I Want The World To Stop-Belle and Sebastian (One of the more energetic songs, with a memorable chorus, about stepping off the merry-go-round of life.)
- Reasons-Earth, Wind & Fire (One of Philip Bailey's highlights as a soaring vocalist with considerable range.)
- Head Over Heels-The Go-Gos (Although some of the band's hits have worn thin, "Head Over Heels" and "Turn To You" are its two best, well-crafted power pop tracks. Sidebar: While working at a sports data-gathering company, I intercepted a women's soccer roster that was submitted with four bogus names; the last four players on the list, who had been assigned jersey numbers, were actually four of the five members of The Go-Gos. Fortunately, I spotted this and prevented those names from being published. Who would think that kind of musical knowledge would come in handy in such an unlikely setting?)
- John Corigliano: Lullaby For Natalie (London Symphony Orchestra/Leonard Slatkin, conductor; Anne Akiko Meyers, violin) (A beautiful, moving showcase for violin.)
