The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org.
Tonight’s show – originally broadcast on February 17, 2023 – is way cool – all the songs this week contain alternate time signatures, where the 4/4 measure isn’t the predominant rhythm. We’ve got songs with a 5/4 time signature, some 7/4 music, and a Beatles track with several different time signatures in it.
