Columbia Gems: Columbia Record Company 1955-2005

2005 marks the 50th anniversary of Miles Davis' first release on Columbia Records. While "Columbia Gems" will revisit some of Miles' very best work, he was by no means the only great musician signed with Columbia Records. Other jazz legends such as Billie Holiday, Erroll Garner, Gerry Mulligan, Dave Brubeck, Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, JJ Johnson, Stan Getz, and Dexter Gordon made recordings that are considered indispensible. Don't miss this thorough survey of mainstream jazz.

Crybabies

Crying: it's the most shameful thing a person can do. Yet we've all done it. Whether it's breaking up, having to put a favorite nephew to sleep, eating too many Sour Patch Kids, or getting punched in the neck that gets your waterworks going, everyone can identify with a song about crying. Brian and Elizabeth bring you just that, with two hours of songs about crying. Or tangentially related to crying. Featuring the likes of Guns-n-Roses, Atsushi, a strictly limited number of whiny bands, and your mom (crying about what a failure you are).

Reggae Vibrations: Big Easy Sound System

Sunshine Daydream: Dawn of the Dead - From Birth to ?

The Sunshine Daydreamers bring you Dawn of the Dead, two hours of music from the Grateful Dead spanning from 1965 through 1972. The time was the sixties. The place was San Francisco. The fuel was psychedelia and the belief that the world could live as one. The blend of these elements created an electric synergy resulting in music that was so transcendent that it is as important today as it was then. From Garcia's eerie vibrato to Pigpen's infamous raps you will hear tasteful acoustic numbers, ballads of mischief, and the quintessential controlled chaos jams that encapsulate the vibe of the times. Tune in, turn on your lovelight, and drop us some cash to support the station that brings you only the highest quality music. Shall we go, you and I, while we can? through the transitive nightfall of diamonds...
