Miles Davis once said, "You know why I don't play ballads anymore? Because I love playing them too much." Do you know why I play ballads? Because I probably love them more than anything else. I guess the station and website were created to let people know that even on the darkest of nights, you have music like this to cling to.
Van Morrison

Astral Weeks
Close your eyes and listen. The continuous ebb and flow of images will overwhelm the senses. One of the most beautiful albums I have ever heard.
Bob Dylan

Highway 61 Revisited
Do I understand what every phrase means? No. Will I keep playing it even if I never completely get it? Yep. Great album.
Charlie Parker

With Strings
Commercial music? Sell-out music? It's Charlie Parker. If "Just Friends" is sell-out, then call me a fan of mediocrity.
Aesop Rock

Labor Days
For anyone who may think hip-hop is a waste of auditory space, download the lyrics to this album and read as you listen. One of the most lyrically adept hip-hop records ever created.

Knows the difference between laid-back music and background music. Everything he plays is laid-back and good.
