So Cool - Minnesota Public Radio
In 2006 I had the privilege of spending 6 months working in Minneapolis and discovered that their public radio station is one of the best ones out there. I stumbled upon MPR’s The Current while adjusting the radio in my rental car and was surprised to hear Son Volt’s “Drown” being played. Muddy Waters then the Thievery Corporation were next and I was hooked. Checkout the following playlist from the 3 to 4 am hour this morning:
Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug
She & Him - Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
Depeche Mode - Stripped
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh)
Diamond Nights - The Girl’s Attractive
Prince - Chelsea Rodgers
The Apples in Stereo - Energy
The Streets - Could Well Be In
Jack Penate - Spit At The Stars
Tori Amos - Body and Soul
Morphine - Honey White
Kanye West - Flashing Lights (feat. Dwele)
Yo La Tengo - Mr. Tough
Uncle Tupelo - No Depression (1988 Demo)
The Black Keys - Strange Times
I’m not sure about the radio stations in your town but I believe it is illegal to play Prince, Kayne West, and Uncle Tupleo on the same station in Georgia.

Sweet! That’s how radio should be. The way music is heard, played, shared, and owned is changing rapidly, but radio does not seem to be going away. And that’s a good thing. There’s something special about allowing some trusted soul-doctor to prescribe the music you need to hear. And I bet Kanye sounds a lot better sandwiched b/w Morphine and YLT.
