This morning's highlights:
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Marvin's Song-Stanley Turrentine (If I were programming a jazz station, I'd play Count Basie's "Mister Softie" before this. These instrumentals have a compatible brightness and bounce.)
- Same Ole Love-Anita Baker (The energy and rhythm of this hit make it my favorite Baker tune.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Dog Years-Hannah Cohen (Wise lyrics about not being too rigid about planning out one's life, considering its unpredictability.)
KCFV 89.5 FM
- Moving On (So Long)-Blue October (This is a more modern way of conveying the resolve found in The Cyrkle's "Red Rubber Ball.")
KSHE 94.7 FM
- From Now On-Supertramp (Honest lyrics acknowledge that a fair portion of life is tedious.)
KLOU 103.3 FM
- Who Can It Be Now?-Men At Work (I appreciate this song more than I did when it was a hit and seemed to be played once an hour on the radio. Lyrically, it concedes that everyone is entitled to be misanthropic if they so desire.)
