Standout tunes heard today:
1st Wave Deep Cuts
- Leave In Silence-Depeche Mode (Alas, some relationships are destined to fizzle out.)
'60s Gold
- Ain't That Peculiar-Marvin Gaye (Rhythmically and vocally, this 1965 oldie never wears out its welcome. This is an excellent example of how to build to a chorus in a fast tune.)
Alt 2K
- Brick By Boring Brick-Paramore (A compelling case for not living exclusively in one's own world, as understandable as it might be.)
Bakersfield Beat
- Come On Home-Mel & Carl (The vocal harmonies are reminiscent of The Everly Brothers.)
Escape
- Fields Of Gold-Brian Withycombe (A pleasant piano rendition of one of Sting's most compelling hits.)
Lo-Fi Sleep
- Midnight, Somewhere-Idealism (An endearingly halting piano melody anchors this instrumental.)
Real Jazz Just Music
- Fula (Live)-McCoy Mrubata (Rhythmically compelling bass and piano set the stage for expansive saxophone wailing.)
Watercolors
- Silver Lining-Andrea Lisa (This unhurried smooth jazz guitar groove sounds like it's going to lead into some '70s R&B vocals at any moment.)
