Good morning, musicologists! We’ve got a great set of programs for you today as we head to the weekend once again! Before, in between and after we’ve got our big, wide Open Stream running 24/7.

Here’s your Friday lineup:

10:00 a.m. Looks Like Rain: Various Artists

It’s not quite an EP, but there are a hell of a lot of songs about rain out there from artists like The Beatles, Poco, Gordon Lightfoot, The Everly Brothers, The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Carole King, Irma Thomas, Ann Peebles, The Eurythmics, Fats Domino, Led Zeppelin, Ray Charles, Warren Zevon, The Searchers, Taj Mahal, The Band, Traffic, Linda Ronstadt, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and more!

4:00 p.m. Electric Light Orchestra Live at Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, February 3, 1976

Jeff Lynne’s great ELO is live early on from Winterland.

8:00 p.m. The Beatles: Songs With Character

Undoubtedly one of our favorite playlists with songs about the man in the mack, Lucy who flies around the skies with diamonds, a lonely woman named Eleanor Rigby, a dog named Martha, and a guy named Bungalow Bill. And that’s just for starters.

We’re here 24/7 with no interruptions. No lie. No bait and switch. No credit card required. And no big-mouthed DJ’s. See for yourself. The button is below.
