Radio.blog will have a venti half-caf latte and a scone

New World Man sir, I love these weekly playlists of yours. But how do I, a mere blog reader, experience this music for myself instead of just reading about it?

Why, you can listen to all 12 songs, in order, from each week's playlist. Even from the last five or six playlists! All the songs are in the radio.blog player at the upper left of the New World Man home page. Before you start, click 'Pop-Up' at the bottom of the player to detach the player from the page. That way you can keep listening even as you navigate away from this site! Then, just click on whatever song you want to start listening to. When it's done it'll go right into the next one. Cool, huh, blog reader?

This week's playlist, which might also be last week's playlist, since there wasn't one, goes to Starbucks. XM 75, Hear Music, has been playing in this blog's office a lot lately, and these are the sorts of songs you hear on that station, "the music of Starbucks." (Yes, they play You Know Who a lot, too. Radio.blog is You Know Who free this week, though. Apologies or you're welcome, depending.)

Breathe Me, Sia
Video, India.Arie
Wisemen, James Blunt
Shelter Me, Train
Outrageous, Paul Simon
Pretty Dress, Rosie Thomas
Hospital Food, David Gray
King Without a Castle, Chris Isaak
Let Me Go, Sonya Kitchell
Better Man, Pearl Jam
Breathe (2 AM), Anna Nalick
Throw It All Away (Acoustic), Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile shows up a lot on XM 75 for someone with a catalogue of one CD. Not that I'm complaining!

Enjoy.
