FM dial scan highlights CCLXXXV

Sunday morning standouts:

WSIE 88.7 FM 

  • Everybody Wants To Rule The World-Fattburger (I've always been indifferent to the original Tears For Fears version of this, but hearing this jazz guitar-led incarnation made me appreciate the melody more.)
  • Fancy Footwork-Ragan Whiteside (A sunny, uptempo flute number, released in August.)

KCLC 89.1 FM 

  • Spine Oil-Samia (This rhythmically appealing April release's forthright lyrics show that the protagonist is more strong-willed than people realize.)

KSHE 94.7 FM 

  • Home Again-Batdorf & Rodney (Upbeat lyrics, invigorating guitar, and vocal harmonies reminiscent of Crosby, Stills & Nash; if that's not a musical hat trick, what is?  Also recommended: "Oh My Surprise.") 

K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2

  • J.S. Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Prelude & Fugue in C major, BWV846 (Angela Hewitt, piano) (A warm, nimble interpretation of one of the most familiar, accessible Baroque pieces.)
