Each week my partner John puts up with losing Friday nights to me planning a show, listening to final picks of new cds and typing the list up and posting it on the internet. Then I print the pages to follow while on air the following day. Last night he chose 28 cds and I played what he wanted to hear. Here they are:

1. Small Potatoes - Waltz of the Wallflowers
Waltz of the Wallflowers - Wind River Records
"All of you self-assured people get out of the way"

2. Tom Russell - Where the Dream Begins
Borderland - Hightone Records
"what happened to the kid in the baseball hat?"

3. New Middle Class - I was Born
New Middle Class
From the un ego based Small Potatoes opener, to this ego filled anthem

4. Night Sun - Breathing
One Moment of Grace - Borealis
Ellen cleverly uses the accordian bellows to mimic noises familiar to her in the artic

About this time I realized how much fun it was airing other people's picks. Knowing that a collection of releases awaited my attention at home, I offered to any listener, the same chance I gave John last night. I offered that they take several shoe boxes of releases and come back in August and air the ones they like. I got a taker, a couple actually. The woman who drove to the station to discuss it. More later.
