Wednesday Playlist – George Clinton, Rolling Stones, Donna Summer and more
Our Wednesday Playlist today is brought to you by Zach Fannin, producer for the World News Webcast and the guy who cuts the New Music Monday segments (check out yesterday's with God Help The Girl).
GEORGE CLINTON – Atomic Dog
A funky song about a human urge "… why must I chase the cat? Nothin' but tha dog in me"
BASEMENT JAXX – Raindrops
I'm a sucker for electronic music and this one does not disappoint
THE WHO – Happy Jack
I'm also a sucker for durms. I choose to believe Keith Moon passed out on stage because his drum sections were so complex. Not because he was intoxicated.
PHOENIX – Love Like A Sunset, Pts 1 and 2
Another electro tine. The first part almost feels like it belongs on Air's Talkie Walkie. Part 2's more in the vein of the rest of Phoenix's new album.
DIRTY PROJECTORS – Useful Chamber
Best song on the best album so far of '09. It's amazing to hear so many genres of music shape shift in one song.
THE ROLLING STONES – Emotional Rescue
When Mick Jagger sings a disco song, is it really disco?
DONNA SUMMER – I Feel Love
Brian Eno described this song best back in 1977: "This is it, look no further. This single is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years."
BELLE & SEBASTIAN – Stars of Track and Field
Sometimes it's what you don't say that makes the most powerful statement. Belle and Sebastian are masters of this genre.
GRIZZLY BEAR – Foreground
This song makes me sad, but a happy kind of sad.

I was upset that Martin was used in the Michael Jackson story. His past reporting on Michael was a stab in the back to him. For him to be used again now at the time of his death is an insult to Michael’s fans, family and friends.
