Back after a two week absence, started with some gospel type numbers, then heavily sampled soundtrack albums for a couple of favorite TV series, “Breaking Bad” and “True Blood.”
Couldn’t let another Elvis Week go by without noting the 33rd anniversary of the King’s death before hearing a lot of the new Arcade Fire.
Closed with a bunch of mostly new stuff, pausing to plug Satuday’s Wilco Fest in North Adams, Mass., and Shelby Lynne’s appearance in Norfolk.
Here’s what I played on the radio this morning.
