I Guess I’ll be Eating at Subway

Wednesday, 03 November 2010

Today I received my KQRS Prize Pack in the mail. You may recall that this was a gift for having my playlist selected last Sunday (if you don’t recall, click here). The Prize Pack included: a pen, two bumper stickers, two magnets, a can cooler, a key chain, a t-shirt, lip balm, and a certificate for a 6-foot party sub at Subway Sandwiches. Everything was emblazoned with the KQRS logo. The t-shirt was cool because it says “I rocked the radio.” Ha! Think of it: me! Rocking the radio. Who’d a thunk?

A couple of people asked me how I decided on the songs for the playlist. It was easy. I just thought up some musicians that I like and who actually get played on KQRS. Then I tried to remember which of their songs get played on that station, and I picked one of my favorites.

Here’s the playlist that the played last Sunday:

Beautiful Day, by U2 (Okay, so the station plays other U2 songs that I like a lot more, but I wanted to be sure to include songs from a variety of years, and this was the only song from this millennium.)

Come Together, by Aerosmith

Superstition, by Stevie Wonder

Southern Cross, by Crosby, Stills and Nash

The Immigrant Song, by Led Zeppelin

Loves Me Like a Rock, by Paul Simon

Renegade, by Styx (Okay, so I wouldn’t consider myself a Styx fan, primarily because I can’t think of any other songs that the do beside this one. But I do like this song.)

Watching the Wheels, by John Lennon (Hey – look at that – that makes two songs authored by Mr. Lennon. What can I say? I’m a fan.)

Here’s a brief clip that I recorded on Sunday. It features the final seconds of “Watching the Wheels,” followed by my name being said on the air:

Oh – and let me know if you want a KQRS beer can cooler. It’s on me.
