Six standout tunes heard today:
KBFT (Nett Lake, MN)
- Ghibli-Savana Funk (This instrumental sports a memorable hook while pulling off the trick of sounding uptempo while sorrowful.)
KVMR (Nevada City, CA)
- Sunshine-Little Dragon (Fun, upbeat indie rock. Lyrically, this is a cool way of telling someone, "You rock my world.")
WRFI (Ithaca, NY)
- Radio City-Eilen Jewell (This instrumental could set the scene for a murder mystery. Various Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet or Aqua Velvets tracks could flow into this.)
- Playing On The Radio-The Shivas (Considerable energy that can't help but spill out of car radio speakers--and possibly make one drive a tad faster.)
WRTI (Philadelphia, PA)
- Agua De Beber-Astrud Gilberto (With a rhythm this strong, it's not surprising that this tune has been covered so often. Gilberto sings one of the best renditions. For a faster take, check out Al Jarreau's version.)
- New Pinnacle-Brandee Younger (A new, fanciful jazz harp piece. Quincy Jones's version of "Tell Me A Bedtime Story" would flow well after this.)
