      Is “Within Temptation” too well known a group for your show? The song “Jillian” would be cool.

    hey Paul – i finally watched ‘It might Get Loud’ last night so I’m really pumped, and have a renewed respect for Jimmy Page, the Edge, and Jack White. So could you please play something from each of them – but something more rare or unusual please (esp. as U2 is so ubiquitous, we’ve all heard their ‘hits’ over and over and over ad nauseum…). As well, how about some good old real blues, and some Flat Duo Jets?

    And just for grins, some Gorillaz and DePhazz?

    Thanks for the Morphine – LOVE it!

    My favorites from tonight have been that them thar De-bussy classical thang by Babs, that little ditty from Morphine, that clever opus from Guy Forsythe, and then – toward the end of the show – that beguiling slow piece from Sia (?; she kind of reminded me of Joan Osborne).

    For the future: somebody died recently and I was reading their obituary; there was a reference therein to French jazz and pop from the fifties; such music sounds intriguing to me but I couldn’t begin to come up with a reference to anything specific to suggest you play, but maybe you can? I’ll look in the meantime too (though I’m not really sure how to come up with anything) and get back to you if I find anything.

    In Remembrance of Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon on July 16th, 1969, along with his death yesterday on August 25th 2012, I checked to see what the Billboard #1 Song on that date was. Zager And Evans – “In The Year 252” was #1 from July 12 – August 16, 1969.

    Zager And Evans – “In The Year 2525”
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQB2-Kmiic

    Another song that might be a nice tribute to Neal Armstrong would be;
    Chad & Jeremy – “Everyone’s Gone To The Moon” (1965)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USgogNmaNhA&feature=related

    If you still have a slot or two to fill for tonight’s show, it would be kind of cool to pay homage to Neal Armstong in a music format.

    Slade, and the Zombies, please. Maybe some Allan Holdsworth, say “Sphere of Innocence”? Medeskie Martin & Wood?
