As promised, last night’s Roundtrip show on WNRB-LP (93.3 fm, Wausau) was, in large part, a nod to snow and winter. When we transition from late fall to our first covering of snow, there seems to be a mood shift … at least for me. And that affects musical choices. I start to drift (pun!) toward certain albums and tunes I’m less apt to listen to at other times. I hope last night’s listeners got in the mood.
Counting Crows, Long December … “maybe this year will be better than the last”
Simon & Garfunkel, Hazy Shade of Winter
Jimi Hendrix Experience, Bold As Love
Iron and Wine, Faded From the Winter
Kate Bush, Under Ice … “the river has frozen over … there’s something moving under the ice … it’s me, IT’S ME!!”
Nazz, Under the Ice … Todd Rundgren’s early days band
Van Morrison, Snow in San Anselmo … “my waitress, my waitress, my waitress said it was coming down” wow!
Traffic, Walking in the Wind
Richard Thompson, Ghosts in the Wind
The Stranglers, Golden Brown … harpsichord punk love song!
Rolling Stones, The Lantern
Beatles, I Am the Walrus … “goo-goo-goo-joob”
Robyn Hitchcock, Freeze
George Harrison, Wah-Wah
Elbow, Grounds for Divorce
Donovan, Roots of Oak
Fat Mattress, Mr. Moonshine … Jimi’s bass player Noel Redding’s ’70s band
Grateful Dead, Mountains of the Moon
Steve Miller Band, Nothing Lasts
Squeeze, Vanity Fair
Paul McCartney, Riding to Vanity Fair
Elvis Costello, Harpies Bizarre
Hem, Leave Me Here
Rolling Stones, Gimme Shelter … what an intro!!!!
