Had a great time last night sitting in with Reid Robinson and Sista Whitenoise during their 'Sonic Assembly Power Hour' on KNON-FM 89.3. They took time out from their quarterly pledge drive to let me play some songs I like (you can make pledges to the station and the show in particular here). You'll find my playlist after the jump.

But before that, let me pull out the soapbox for a sec. If you haven't listened to KNON before, do. It's the closest thing to free-form radio that exists in Dallas. Tune in any given night, and you're likely to hear deep blues, Latin, hip-hop and R&B cuts. And Sonic Assembly's playing loads of local artists of all genres during its weekly Tuesday late-night slots. So, listen and learn.

That said, here's what I played last night:

1."Life is Better" - Q-Tip feat. Norah Jones

2. "It's Gonna Be a Lovely Day" - SOULSYSTEM

3. "Say Hey (I Love You)" - Michael Franti & Spearhead

4. "Foreign Lands" - Teenage Cool Kids

5. "Tell It In My Ear" - Fergus & Geronimo
(TCK and F&G play Thursday at Mable Peabody's)

6. "Can I Get a Witness" - Marvin Gaye

7. "Aretha, Sing One for Me" - Cat Power

8. "Sweet Sweet Baby (Since You've Been Gone)" - Aretha Franklin

9. "33 Degree" - Thievery Corporation

[break for pledge drive stuff]

10. "Tethered" - Danny Balis
(Balis plays Aug 21 at the Granada)

11. "Darlin'" - Here in Arms
(Plays CD release show for 'Outlaws' Saturday at City Tavern)
