i was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning... the globe, as usual. since they went on the air i've been mostly impressed with the djs, their music selections, and their general knowledge of and history with the music scene. they've got a good team.
what keeps me listening, though, is that i often hear new things that would never have come to my attention otherwise; today was no exception! just after 8:00 weasel was announcing the upcoming playlist and mentioned devo. i knew i had to listen. but the song that came on after the commercial break was certainly NOT devo! it had a slight "wall of sound" influence and a bluesy-rockin-gritty beat that was anything but devo. it was a male-female duet whose harmonies would make your heart break. it started with the line, "some sunny day, baby / when everything seems okay baby..." and that was all i knew.
luckily, they post the station logs online, so i was able to look it up this evening when i returned home. to my utmost surprise, it was robert plant and alison krauss, from their new collaboration cd raising sand. i have been listening to it for the last 1/2 hour online (yes, you can listen to the whole thing, online, for free! way to go plant and krauss!), and i must say i'm enthralled. i absolutely love it and must have it.
