Tom Hinders WOBC 91.5 FM Tsunami Soul http://wobc.org (Fridays, 12:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. EST) http://www.oberlin.edu/staff/thinders/ Last week, I played 'Whirling' on my show. What a great song. I talked about it with one of the other DJs who was hanging out at the station while 'Whirling' was playing. She liked it a lot and called it "atmospheric" and said that she really likes how it "sets a certain mood for a mental journey." I'll just agree with her! Two weeks ago, I played 'Endless Sleep.' I've already told you how much I like this song. Your voice is very clear on this song. So, the story is conveyed easily. I think that, in the original by Jody Reynolds, a lot of people miss the ending where he grabs his baby from the endless sleep. What a great song. On Aug. 3, I played '96 Blues Per Minute.' You really settle into a nice groove with this song. I like it a lot. The keyboard adds a bit of a Stax-Volt Booker T. groove, which is definitely a compliment! Then, on July 27, I played 'Little Red Book.' I love the driving beat on this song. You really add something to it. Perhaps because you don't do it as primitive as the Love version that I remember. This is a great start to a great album! This week, I'm going to play 'Party Doll,' mostly because it's my favorite song on the CD! I'll eventually play all of the songs, because they're all great. It's funny how they are all so diverse, yet they all fit my show's format. I don't know if that says something about the CD or about my show. Hopefully both!
