Six impressive tunes heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Career Opportunities-The Clash (This is one of the best uses of kids' voices in a song. When you're young, it's daunting to realize that you're facing decades of work before retirement. There's no denying that almost everyone's career path includes frustrating, tedious aspects...)
- Three Miles Down-Gil Scott-Heron (...or health hazards. As these lyrics drive home, there's no way to know what it's like to work in a mine if you've never done it.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Over Easy-Booker T. & The MGs (A piano rhythm fit for sashaying into a room, even if no one's around.)
- (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66-Nat King Cole (There are so many versions of this, but few of them rival Cole's smooth vocals.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Hard Up-The Bamboos (Appropriately powerful vocals, guitar, and bass; that's fitting for these lyrics about how draining work is sometimes.)
- Sky Full Of Song-Florence + The Machine (All of us are imperfect mortals. Inevitably, not every choice we make will be the wisest one. Of the Florence + The Machine songs I've heard, this one sounds especially well-suited for concerts.)
