Even if you're not sure who the British electronic duo Goldfrapp are, you've probably heard "Utopia" from their first album, Felt Mountain (released in 2000). It gets far more play in advertising and on TV and films than on traditional radio. They have a brand new album out as well, Seventh Tree, one Americans aren't as familiar with yet but I recommend listening to A&E from that if you like "Utopia."

Willie Nelson will be 75 next year. I used to be a dj in a country bar in San Francisco and he was always a national treasure to me. Great singer, great songwriter, great spirit. He did this duet with Susan Tedeschi on the first of his three 2000 album releases, Milk Cow Blues. I'm not going to Kansas City on this trip, but I thought you might like to see what it looked like.

The show started in a real fun way when she flew down from the ceiling in a bird outfit and sang "I'm Like A Bird." Last time I saw her perform was at the Apple store in Santa Monica. Here's the smash version of that song that launched her into superstar status, from her 2000 album Whoa, Nelly
