Thursday standouts:
KBEM (Minneapolis, MN)
- Wakamba-Chucho Valdes (Gripping tension in a minor key. I have yet to hear any piano piece by Valdes that I dislike.)
KWNK (Reno, NV)
- Sing It Back (Boris Dlugosch Musical Mix)-Moloko (An infectious dance track from '98. The Aluminum Group's "Cannot Make You Out" would sound right to me before it.)
WBFY (Belfast, ME)
- Elenore-The Turtles (Rhythmically, this reminds me of the Genesis track, "A Trick Of The Tail.")
- Diamond Head-The Ventures (One good spy/surf guitar instrumental deserves another. I would have programmed "Bravado" by The Aqua Velvets before this.)
WBTV (Burlington, VT)
- Midnight At The Oasis-Renee Olstead (Olstead's voice is a natural fit for this cover of the Maria Muldaur oldie.)
WLOY (Baltimore, MD)
- Good Morning-Gregory Isaacs (When you're going through a rough patch, it's comforting to remember that you have friends on your side.)
WZRD (Chicago, IL)
- Scott Street-Phoebe Bridgers (Lyrically, this a painful reminder that you can't--and wouldn't want to--get back certain aspects of your past. Also recommended: "Motion Sickness.")
