- Towards The Sun-Alexi Murdoch (A moving throwback sound that's reminiscent of Nick Drake; it makes me wonder if the DJ's next selection will be...)
- Things Behind The Sun-Nick Drake (...Nick Drake's "Things Behind The Sun." Sure enough...This is one of many low-key gems from the bare bones, vocals-and-guitar "Pink Moon" album, and it segues well with one of my favorite Drake songs, "At The Chime Of A City Clock.")
- No Matter What-Badfinger (Music critics have often cited Badfinger as one of the best power pop bands, and this hit--their best one, in my opinion--is exhibit A in justifying that mantle.)
- A Weaver Of Dreams-Ben Riley featuring Wayne Escoffery (A strong, elegant ballad for saxophone.)
- Guilty-Wendy Moten (Engaging vocals and piano.)
- Simple Song-The Shins (This was the perfect choice for the pivotal scene in which "How I Met Your Mother" finally revealed the mother.)
- What You Won't Do For Love-Bobby Caldwell (Years ago, a listener called KNJZ and asked if we would play "that song that goes, 'I guess you wonder where I've been...'" She then went on to sing an impressive rendition of the entire song. I didn't have the heart to tell her we'd just played it.)
- Everyday Is A Winding Road-Sheryl Crow (One of Crow's best uptempo hits from the '90s; I remember hearing this a lot on WVRV next to "Bed" by New World Spirits.)
- Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover-Sophie B. Hawkins (Hawkins is refreshingly frank here.)
- Tempted-Squeeze (One of Paul Carrack's highlights during his stint as the band's lead vocalist.)
