Is there anyway to have a detailed playlist of today's program? I've been listening since 2pm today and I MUST know these artists. Flipping on KBOO at home for some late lunch in the sun is a habit of mine but today just blew me out of the water. I had to get up and dance in the sun for a few moments of the first three-four tracks of the two hour segment!

For a long time I looked forward to Thursday and Africa O-yey. However lately I've been more disappointed than not. I am getting tired of selections from Ethiopia, old 50's selections, and hand clapping or drumming on logs from the Ituri rain forest. How about some contemporary sounds? And how about more music from Nigeria, Senegal, and West Africa in general?/ I know it's impossible to please every musical palette, but a few more modern selections would be nice.
