    Fun stuff so far…How about something from NASA’s The Spirit of Apollo. I like a track called “Money” featuring David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge & Z-Trip and I think it’s FCC friendly but if you want to spin it double check that. There’s also a track featuring Tom Waits called “Spacious Thoughts.”

    The front man, Sean Harrasser, from the 90’s band Harvester (Geffen records) has released a new album under the name Envelope Peasant and the Scientific Orchestra. The new album “Make A Home” has several radio worthy tracks.

        He should have grown up in Casey Kasum country. Then he’d understand.
        I don’t care for the repeated play of popular hits either, but, there is also lots of variety and the commercials are naught.

    • You should look into playing something from the local artist Emmeline. http://www.reverbnation.com/emmeline Maybe her song “A Hundred Years,” which she thinks clearly delineates her Type A, overzealous personality or “Mine”.

    Bloodrock “DOA” please. Ft. Worth band IIRC. Gilbert O’Sullivan please – you already played Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdinck… (I believe all these guys had the same manager, which accounts for their literary-operatic names). And the Scherzo from Hammerklavier – nice & short.
