Sunday morning highlights:
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Gentle Thoughts-Herbie Hancock (Thumping bass, a sunny keyboard hook, and a vibe that reminds me of "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers...How could I not like this 1976 instrumental?)
- Lush-Kayla Waters (This upbeat, piano-centered smooth jazz track maintains its pleasant, energetic groove for the duration.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- The Bridge-Bahamas (A relaxed, welcoming groove reminiscent of '70s flute-based jazz underpins the vocals.)
- Wreck-Neko Case (An honest way of conveying, "You might think I'm kind of a lot, but we'd still make a good match.")
KWUR 90.3 FM
- Dog Show-Patchymate (This new indie rock track has a fun, carefree vibe, with a fit-for-a-carnival rhythm and lyrics that invite listeners to escape the grim reality of the world and just enjoy a dog show.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- Your Own Special Way-Genesis (Lyrically, this is a precursor to the sentiments the band would later convey on "Follow You Follow Me.")
- Wasted On The Way-Crosby, Stills & Nash (Although the lyrics are about squandered opportunities, the trio sings them with encouraging optimism, suggesting that there's still time to pursue at least some of your prospects.)
WARH 106.5 FM
- Suicide Blonde-INXS (The opening harmonica lick drew me in each time when this was a hit.)
