Title:
Michael Franti, Dar Williams, Shelby Lynne, Alejandro Escovedo, Chuck Prophet, Nicole Atkins, John Gorka, Toby Lightman, Budos Band, Jim Boggia, Madi Diaz, Back Door Slam songs for WXPN's XPoNential Music Festival
Description:
Look for commonalities between adjacent songs. || When I chose how to sequence them I set up a connective, common thread between songs whenever possible. || I only wish I could control the way the songs segue into each other, and tighten up how one song ends and the next begins. || Playlist includes sets of live tracks, one each from Franti Williams (to give you some idea of what it'll be like to see them at XPoNential Music Fest), and some Christmas In July midway through the list. || Michael Franti & Spearhead dominate the list for a purpose: How could I not feature the most criminally underappreciated Rock musician of our time with huge potential for Pop crossover? Yes, Rock and, yes, Pop: Sure, Jam Band, Hip Hop and Reggae, too, but I can't conceive how consistently top-shelf tracks that essentially combine Prince with The Clash can miss with large audiences except for the repressive and lazy state of the music business. || A special Thank You to all the imeem member-folks who provided uploads of these songs.
