A whole lot of summer songs, of course, before it’s all over, with two songs each from the Beach Boys and Belle & Sebastian. There was some Baseball (Project), too.
Dylan is in there, but also a lot of Luna and a Galaxie 500 inspired by finishing Dean Wareham’s book “Black Postcards.”
There were also some tunes to herald shows coming to town this week — Arcade Fire, Rod Stewart and X. Closed out with some old originals and killer murder ballads. Here’s what I played on the radio tonight:
