Good Evening to you,

This is where you can leave your polite comments, music suggestions and links so we can buy or listen.

When you suggest stuff make sure it is FCC clean, please. Also, I don’t generally play anything over six minutes, and I tend to shy away from things that are too loud or ambient.

    Just for fun next week: The Beatles – Sie Liebt Dich or Komm Gim Mir Deine Hand.

    Also something by Guy Forsyth. I like Long Long Time but that’s probably a bit to negative.

      ok, I will check it out and see how much of a downer it is.

    • Jerem69

      But Guy Forsyth is a Texas man now. How could that be deemed “negative?”
      Anything by him gets my vote. +1!

      • Ray Worth

        not a big downer, just angry along the same lines as James McMurtry’s We Can’t Make it Here Anymore. Another suggestion – Kristy Kruger

    We are in love with an English band called The Dunwells. They are actually here touring the states over the next couple of months. They have a single out (I Could Be a King), which we are always hoping to hear on the radio, and there are many great songs on their debut album (Blindsighted Faith). Only Me is a quiet song but really beautiful, and Elizabeth and Blindsighted Faith seem to be a lot of people’s favorite. My teenagers love Follow the Road. It would be exciting to hear them on the radio –and we are faithful KXT listeners!

    I grew up in the 70s but came of age in the 80s; my fav female singer from then was the voice of Yaz; Alison Moyet. This is from her first or second solo record.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJDrLVAjgd8&feature=colike

    This is an awesome video and song by UNKLE (James Lavelle) and Ian Astbury the singer for The Cult. Burn My Shadow
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-0aAxaQ2wo&feature=colike

    Another female lead vocalist gone solo; Tracy Thorn. The voice of Everything But the Girl does A-Z (or the Brits say it A to Zed) from Out of the Woods
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z14UNCJFtwk&feature=colike

    You mentioned oldies and in finding the link for Gentle on My Mind by Glen Campbell I found this one by Dino! From the Essential Dean Martin it’s Dean Martin singing Gentle on my mind. Either version will work though!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpS9V5koSLw&feature=colike

    And, finishing with the 80s just for sh*ts and giggles (never understood that phrase, sounds messy) The Minutemen with A Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing. Easiest place to find is on the Compilation Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the 80s Underground.” (Disc 2)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2ruGoKnnxI&feature=colike <==only 1:31 good to sneak in at the end before Undercurrents starts 🙂

    Thanks for doing this awesome show week in and week out. Love it!

      Glenn Campbell didn’t impress me a whole lot as a kid, but, I now appreciate his music. He has Alzheimer’s and that’s a shame. The music is last to go in his mind. He speaks little but the music still comes forth.
