Playlist - September 20th, 2010

Kind of a music-heavy show this week, especially in the back nine (that’s a golf metaphor). The next host didn’t appear - I certainly hope he’s okay - so I filled in for an extra hour. Just grabbing things off the new release shelf turned out pretty great. The take away lesson from this show is: if you’re in a band, pick a name like “The Birthday Cakes,” and you will get air-time. It is also helpful if you sound like “The Birthday Cakes.”
