FM dial scan highlights CCLXXIV

Some of the better tunes I've heard today:

KDHX 88.1 FM 

  • Hourglass-Squeeze (This sounds firmly of its time, i.e. 1987, and the energetic "take it to the bridge..." chorus makes me wish this received more radio airplay.)

WSIE 88.7 FM 

  • Meet Me There-SoulCity Organ Trio (A smooth, upbeat organ groove with a bounce.)
  • Callie-Joyce Cooling (A guitar-driven groove best suited for late nights.  Down To The Bone's "17-Mile Drive" could segue with this.)

KCFV 89.5 FM 

  • Everything Has Changed-Best Coast (Honest lyrics about conquering a demon or bad habit and hoping that you stay on the better path you've chosen.)

KWUR 90.3 FM 

  • Swinging At The Stars-Claire Rosinkranz (I like this tune's carefree, head-in-the-clouds vibe.  On the next mix CD I craft for myself, I'll have "Daisy" by Phoebe Rings lead into it.)

WFUN 96.3 FM 

  • Let's Groove-Earth, Wind & Fire (A reminder that the dance tune stylings of the late '70s lingered into the early '80s.)
