It’s that time of the year, Jay’s back at the beach with the family and brings on Michael Weddington and brother, Daniel Pflager, to join the conversation. Michael poses the following question, when you first hear a song, what makes a song when you first listen to it? Is it the music, the vocals, or the lyrics? What catches your ear first? We discuss and then listen to some picks from Michael & Daniel.

Songs:

Grainne Duffy - “Blue Skies”

Christina Vane - “Long Way Home (Live)”

Miley Cyrus feat. WATT, Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Robert Trujillo, Chad Smith – “Nothing Else Matters”

Nick is up next with something old, something new, and something blue(sy)…it’s Three for Thursday!

Songs:

Frank Zappa & the Mothers - “The Duke - Take 2 (live at the Whiskey a Go Go, 1968)”

Mabe Fratti - “Kravitz”

Wilco - Hot Sun

Finally, Greg is pumped about a French music website that he’s just discovered. Radiooooo.com calls itself the Musical Time Machine. Visitors can select from nearly any country in the world, and a decade and listen to a curated radio station full of the music that would have played at that place and time. It’s really cool to play with, you should check it out.

Greg’s clips all came from Radiooooo.com this week.
