Friday Radio 7 Nov 2008 edition

Gooooood Friday morning peeps,
What a week it’s been. Wind down with these picks.

“Life is Better” - Q-Tip & Norah Jones


One of the many great things about music is that it never fails to surprise...here’s what happens when an emcee maestro of hip-hop meets the princess of jazz



“Evolution” - The John Steele Singers


The boys from Brissie’s distinct Archie-esqe sound makes firm believers out of newbies down under.



“Strawberry letter 23” - Brothers Johnson


If the scorching summers of the 1970s had an anthem, this might just be it. Where would music of today be without the influence of this classics. Guess sam sparro just had to sample this track in his -




“Daytripper” - The Beatles


Another feel good song. Also good to check out the version done by sergio mendes. Did you know – the Beatles had a cartoon series? This one’s for daytripper. It’s about a girl in a flying saucer who takes the Beatles on a trip to outer space. But she's not at all what she seems... From 1966.




Have a good Friday folks!
