Five of the better songs I've heard over the past two days:

KDHX 88.1 FM

• The Pipers-Sileas (A gentle Celtic romp from an uplifting harp duo.)
• Fionnghuala (Mouth Music) (Live)-Runa (Runa pulls off the tune's challenging vocals deftly.  Ever since I first heard Nightnoise sing this on a Windham Hill sampler in the '90s, I've thought, "If ever there were a tune that demands excellent enunciation, articulation, and precision from its singers, this is it."  Also recommended: "The Wind That Shakes The Barley.")

WSIE 88.7 FM

• Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing-Stevie Wonder (An ear-catching piano vamp with instant atmosphere and vocals to match; this is one of Wonder's most appealing efforts--and that's saying something for an artist whose career exceeds 50 years.)
• All My Love Is Gone-Lyle Lovett (Lovett and company provide slick drown-your-sorrows vocals and bluesy instrumentation.)

KCLC 89.1 FM

• Eyes Wide Open-Gotye (Good, direct lyrics about plundering Earth's limited resources while knowing it's ill-advised.)
