Mike Doughty on Thursday Night Mixtape: 8 p.m. July 17
Prior to taking the stage at Artscape this weekend (7 p.m. Saturday on the Saturn Stage), Mike Doughty shares his Thursday Night Mixtape with Tyler.
Tune in 8 p.m. Thursday, July 17, to hear the playlist and the artist behind it. (Listen Live)
And then see if you can match Mike with your own mixtape submission.
(Why should Tyler have to do all the work?)
In the meantime, here's Mike's latest single, "Fort Hood."
Let the sunshine in...

A Kate Bush Anniversary
When you turn 40, as I begrudgingly have this year (like I had a choice), other notable benchmarks- save for the day you were born- often get overlooked.
Just for kicks today, I almost instinctively searched YouTube for Kate Bush's performance of "Wuthering Heights" on Tops of the Pops (having spent some impressionable time over in the novel's setting, Yorkshire) and realized that song which, despite my lack of interest in Bronte novels, came out thirty years ago! And Kate was the first woman in UK chart history to write and perform a song that topped the charts.
As a kid, I had know idea who Heathcliff was or why Kate/Cathy would want climb through his window, but somehow, while watching the late TOTP, her operatic voice and sincerity (or was it self-parody?) spoke to me...and still does.
Do you notice a striking resemblance to Regina Spektor?
