There's a brief feature of Wilson Pickett tunes at the beginning. Pickett passed away last week. Then it's the usual fare. My live audience didn't care too much for the "wind chime music", a.k.a. Four Tet, but I like it. My advice: Get your own show.

It's bad enough that I'm trying to crank out push-ups at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning at the gym, but do I have to listen to the damn Blues Traveler song on the "morning zoo" station? No, I don't. I got up off my mat and flicked the boom box off. Screw you people. You're all wearing iPods anyway.

Here's what's been recently added to the shuffle. I wanted to add more this weekend but real life intervened once again:

This Bird Has Flown - the 40th Anniversary of the Beatles' Rubber Soul
Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
Matt Pond PA - Several Arrows Later
My Morning Jacket - Z
Cat Power - The Covers Record
Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
Elliott Smith - Either Or

Tell a friend about the pat radio random shuffle. No harmonica playin' Cat Stevens / Van Morrison rip-offs. Guaranteed.

Here's the playlist, finally, from last Thursday's show. The show is about 10 minutes shorter than usual.
