Memphis Mystery Train Playlist 4/18
Memphis Mystery Train Playlist 4/18
It's only my third week hosting the Memphis Mystery Train, and already, I'm breaking barriers. Notably, the Journey barrier.
I thought it was a little weird when a listener called to tell me that I had a lot of moxie to play Journey on WEVL, but according to the station manager, I'm the first person to ever play "Don't Stop Believin'" at the station.
For those of you who liked the Journey barrier intact, I had a very good reason - I wanted to dedicate a song to the Grizzlies, and it seemed the only fitting choice.
Here's the full list of what I played on the Mystery Train this morning, with the local songs marked with an asterisk:
Ghost World OST - Jaan Pehechaan Ho
James - Laid
The Egyptians - The Party Stomp
The Jewels - Opportunity
New Pornographers - Sing Me Spanish Techno
Freddy - Sie Heiss Mary-Ann (Sixteen Tons)

The Hold Steady - You Can Make Him Like You
She & Him - Fools Rush In
They Might Be Giants - Yeh Yeh
Del Shannon - Run Away
Harlan T. Bobo - Mlle. Chatte*
Otis Redding - You Don’t Miss Your Water*
Those Darlins - Wild One
Why? - Gemini (Birthday Song)

Kerry, you may have broken the Journey barrier, but I've totally played Petra Haden's version of 'Don't Stop Believin' several times. (And I know Judy has been there so shame on her for passing along misinformation)
Nice playlist! And go Grizz!!

Hey Doug, I never said that, so don't blame me for passing along misinformation! It must've been Brian.
See you Tuesday,
Judy (Station Manager)
