This week as I was listening to a new album that arrived at the station, the opening of the first song reminded me of an artist I hadn't listened to in a long time. It made me realize how I've come to rely so much on my rating system in iTunes to find my "favorite" songs, despite my application of the ratings being so spotty in the early days. I should go back and make sure that all of my favorites are marked as such, but I probably won't. Anyway, today's show has a few of those old gems that I dug up as a result. Enjoy!
