Today's Rotation (20 Songs I heard today)

1. Magnolia Electric Company – “The Dark Don’t Hide It”
2. Nick Lowe – “What Lack Of Love Has Done”

5. Lafayette – “The More I See You”
6. Red House Painters – “Wop-a-din-din”
7. Elvis Presley – “Blue Moon of Kentucky”
8. Big Star – “Try Again”
9. The Swallows – “It Ain’t The Meat, It’s the Motion”
10. Bentley Boys – “Down On Penny’s Farm”
