Online radio sampler highlights XL

Late-night selections that got my attention:

KBCS (Bellevue, WA)

• Hungry, So Angry-Medium Medium (A bass-heavy new wave single from 1981; if I didn't know otherwise, I would have thought David Byrne was singing an early Talking Heads hit.)

KCOU (Columbia, MO)

• Tu Nac Tu Ej-Mirdza Zivere (I'm pretty sure I'd never heard this Latvian dance vocalist until just a little while ago.  This upbeat groove, whose English title is "You Come, You Go," cements itself in the mind effortlessly.  In doing some research, another tune of hers, "Zozefino," which is "Josephine" in English, jumped out at me; it brings to mind some of the best elements of Willie Wright's "I'm So Happy Now" and Swing Out Sister's "Am I The Same Girl?")

KPTZ (Port Townsend, WA) 

• Yardbird Suite-Chuck Easton/Ted Enderle/George Radabaugh (When you choose a Charlie Parker tune that cooks so easily, you're bound to click with an audience.)

WHRB (Cambridge, MA)

• Lights Out-John Fahey (A bluesy, easy-going guitar trot that proceeds in its own good time.)

WREK (Atlanta, GA)

• Parasailing-Ducktails (Indie new age?  So it seems.  A pleasant, repetitive, trance-inducing rhythm anchors the tune for six minutes.)
