    I’d like to hear “Proper Goodbye” or “Sailing” by FLATWORLD.

  • Tim raeuchle

    Paul, you should treat you listeners with “if I rise” by Dido and AR Rahman from the “127 Hours” soundtrack. Very etherial. Also Regina Specktors cover of John Lennon’s “real Love” from the instant karma album is supream!
    Cheers

    • Paul Slavens

      two good starts to the suggestions, thanks yall.

  • Thom

    Hey Paul, I am hitting the road, but will have the stereo on, have a Merry Christmas and here are a couple of suggestions:
    ‘Temple of the King’ from Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow – his debut after Deep Purple
    and
    ‘We Used to Wait’ from Arcade Fire.

  • Leia

    Love your show! Maybe a little John Lennon “So this is Xmas” (feels appropriate today), I may have missed the Irma Thomas, but if not, “hittin on nothin” is amazing! Or anything from Eleanor Friedberger or her Fiery Furnaces.

  • RockyG

    Yo Paul,

    How’s ’bout “It’s for You” From Pat Metheney and Lyle Mays?

    As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls

    Irma’s cover of “Time is on my side” is amazing. She’s an amazing artist, such a NOLA legend….
