Radio Fragments

Last year at this time I had only done a couple of shows, but now after spending 2010 looking at music more carefully, it's interesting to look back at the songs from this year that stuck with me. So that's what tonight's show is all about -- the songs that from 2010 that piqued my interest; sometimes it was genuine love, other times just an earworm that stayed in mind for a day or a week longer than it was welcome.

Next week the year begins anew and there's 52 more shows for me to explore and wander, but for tonight, my favorite of 2010.

The show is available from the streaming archive, or you can download the podcast/mp3 version by hour (below).
