KTUH 90.3 FM Playlist for 12/30/11

Here's the playlist for my last show of 2011. It was a kind of melancholic show musically. Started on an indie rock trip with a tinge of blues and country and morphed into something else. I liked it and I hope that the listeners did too.

Eels - Paradise Blues

Scary little suicide bomber
On the way to paradise
Gonna take yourself and be with her
Killin' once and killin' twice

Well it's a real hard time
Singin' the paradise blues

Kinda hard to blame somebody
For goin' to a better place
For thinkin' there's some kinda magic
Up there past outer space

Well that's some crazy-ass shit
Singin' the paradise blues

I'm gonna walk these filthy streets
I'm gonna raise my head
I may not be in paradise
Woo, but I'm not dead

Ain't gonna fly blind
Singin' these paradise blues

Your contempt and your sarcasm
It's all so transparent
Why don't you give up the act now, kid
Woo, and let some love in?

Cause that's all that we got
Singin' these paradise blues
