radio boise playlist for week of 10/15/07

What is the message? What is it's meaning?

When a vocalist takes the microphone, what do you receive?

Here was a smattering of songs of different moods and different styles, all with a message to convey.
(Just like any batch of tunes)

Some are playful, some are rich with 'intent'.

Did the few instrumentals convey as much as songs with lyrics?

Discuss.
(There are no wrong answers)

Any questions or comments, constructive or otherwise, may be directed to my e-mail, via the link on this page.

Thank you for listening, thank you for your time.

Merely a blatant bop down memory lane.

The lyrics are all familiar, even if the particular versions are not.

Funny how even some of the tunes that may have seemed abhorrent back in the day can fit like a comfortable old pair of shoes nowadays...

It's a guest deejay slot this week in Berkeley!!

- - ANNOUNCEMENT!! - -

THURSDAY 9/27/07
9am - NOON (Pacific Time)
'The In Crowd' guest DJ slot on KALX 90.7 FM in Berkeley
( http://kalx.berkeley.edu ),
live on the air with Sex 14s.

As if another visit back to the bay area from whence I came isn't excitement enough for me, this upcoming
THURSDAY the 27th,
barring incident, I'll be on the air sitting in with my dear friend
Sex 14s, spinning tunes during his morning timeslot on KALX.
Last time I did this was back in January, and Sex was gracious enough to turn his show over to me for the duration. It was just WAY too much fun.

(KALX ad image by DJ Craig Baxter.) ⤴

I hope you'll listen in, if you have the opportunity. It's been a while since I've had the live radio experience I love so much.
Could be I'll suck, which I'm sure would also be entertaining...
