| * Tonight's playlist is a snapshot of the Best of 2002 on Tangents. | |||
| ** I first heard Markus James' this past year. "Where You Wanna Be" was released in 2000 and the more recent "Songbird" was released in 2001. To be honest, "Songbird" was the cd I intended to play tonight but pulled the wrong one. | |||
| *** Solomon Burke also released his first cd in decades in 2002: "Don't Give Up On Me" on Epitaph. | |||
