Radio Songs

A sampling of songs I've enjoyed this past week:

East Haven, Connecticut-based Mates of State's "Whiner's Bio" from their 2003 album "Team Boo" on the Polyvinyl Records label. Video (from Sacramento's Capital Garage!)--the quality of the radio is better but the live performance gives a taste of the song.

London-based Zero 7's "In the Waiting Line" from their 2001 album "Simple Things" on the Ultimate Dilemma/Palm Pictures labels. Video.

New Orleans-native Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is" (written by George Davis and Lee Diamond), his 1966 solo on the Par-Lo Records label. Video (1989 recording with Bonnie Raitt and Gregg Allman). Life is too short to have sorrow....
