5 star:
* Shine (Dolly Parton)
RIP Dolly! I really love this song - Dolly's always amazing and the fiddle and banjo plucking and layered vocals are great.

4 star:
* Ladies First (feat. Monie Love) (Queen Latifah)
nice old school hiphop via Ted Lasso
* Magic Mountain (2025 Remaster) (Eric Burdon & War)
via Tony
* Give a Little Love (Tom Jones)
fun cover from one of the "Fockers" movies

3 star:
* Pressure (Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre & K.A.A.N.)
the hook was used behind this super funny series that has a smooth talking narrator retelling old TV show plots - don't know if Star Trek's Kahn inspired picking a song with K.A.A.N...
* It Was a Very Good Year (Josh Turner)
The Molinari Delicatessen in SF was playing the original, which is a little overproduced for my taste, this version is simpler.
* The Strawberry Roan (Marty Robbins)
mentioned in the book "Brokeback Mountain" - last month i found a version that was weirdly religious, I think this is the version the cowboys in the book would be singing.
* Company Culture (Lambrini Girls)
overheard on the showw "Lost Resort"
* WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! (RAYE)
Friends in Napa Valley had this on a playlist
* Fuck You (Live) (Lily Allen)
from a Lynette Playlist
* Harper Valley P.T.A. (Loretta Lynn)
heard this while listening to a Dolly Parton spotify by Lynette, but I like Loretta Lynn's version better - is that a Sitar?
* Power (feat. Stormzy) (Little Mix)
"Ungapatchka" means "too many elements thrown in" and this song totally exemplifies that. Nothing quite jells. Heard it in "Nobody 2"

radio is kind of wild really, the first thing we did after discovering an ethereal field that permeates the universe is infuse it with music.
