Song of the Month
(Hopefully) something new for you to check out
"The Walk" by Mayer Hawthorne
It's a great Motown-style throwback. Take away a bit of unnecessary colorful language and you'd have one of my favorite songs of 2011.

Featured Artist: Beyonce
A few tracks from one of my all-time faves
I don't listen to a lot of modern pop music, but it's hard to avoid listening to or looking at one of today's best solo artists. Check out my list of the Top 10 Beyonce Songs and let me know what you think of my selections of her best.

The Gem
A lesser-known song that deserves more attention
"Forever In Blue Jeans" by Neil Diamond
Liking Neil Diamond used to be ironic. Now it's just classic... kind of like blue jeans.

Folk Fascination
Good old fashioned music with acoustic instruments
"Be My Downfall" by Del Amitri
This was one of my favorite songs from the early days of Cities 97. With a sparse acoustic arrangement and heartfelt vocals, it just feels authentic.

A Cappella
Unaccompanied Treasures
"Sittin' In The Cellar" by Cadence
One of the funnest and jazziest a cappella songs I've heard in a long time. Trust me, it's worth a listen.

Grab Bag
Something Unique to Send You on Your Way
"True" by Spandau Ballet
It is 80s new wave or it is smooth jazz? With one of the best instrumental intros of all time, this song stays in your head for hours. Bonus points for the cryptic band name.
