M and I drove from the Florida panhandle back to the Twin Cities this week. Unfortunately most of the scenery along the interstate looks the same no matter if you are in Alabama or Illinois....the same hotels, the same restaurants, the same malls. The same seems to be true for radio stations. Driving is the easy part, but a good navigator must keep you on the right freeway as well as find radio stations that help fight the tedious nature of the drive. We began to count the number of times we heard Don't Look Back by Boston. I like classic rock but I crave some variety both in music styles and period. Could they throw in some techno Argentine accordion music or what about playing something from the Silk Road by Kitaro during that rainstorm in southern Alabama. I haven't heard that in ages. We couldn't find much in the way of current music like Communist Daughter, Fleet Foxes, or Arcade Fire either. Sunday mornings in the Twin Cities I like to listen to the Brazilian hour on 88.50 at noon and then change over to the Current at 89.3. This week my music tip for St. Paul residents is to see the free show by the Rose Ensemble at the downtown Central Library on Wednesday at noon. I don't expect to hear anything familiar at that show and that sounds good to me!
