If someone asked Brian who his favorite band is, there’d be no question: Genesis. In particular, the early 70s prog-rock iteration of the band.

It’s a Brainwaves baby! Well, actually, it’s Brian’s daughter who had the baby. So, in honor of his new granddaughter, Brainwaves presents an episode with songs about…babies! Well, maybe not little babies, but the name is in the title. “Baby Blue,” “Baby in the Rain,” “Baby I Can Do It,” “Baby You’re a Rich Man,” “See My Baby Jive,” “Better Not Wake the Baby,” “Beach Baby” and much more.

When Brainwaves originally aired this episode, it was all about going from darkness to light to mark the Jewish holiday of Hanukah, which is being celebrated for eight days over the course of this week. However, these days, we need a little light to shine from the darkness, regardless of the holiday. The episode has two parts – the first hour is all “dark” songs. The second hour marks the transition to “light” music. On the dark side: Sonw Patrol, Yo La Tenga, Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello, Teenage Fanclub and Lana Del Rey. On the light side: The Passion Pit, the Smiths, Bob Mould, Spoon and Of Monsters and Men. And that’s just a taste. Tune in for the full meal. We guarantee it will be enlightening!

When Brian creates a new episode of Brainwaves, he hopes his wife, Jody, will enjoy it too.

Join Jody this week for some Brainwaves appreciation.

It’s Thanksgiving week in the U.S. So, Brainwaves is giving thanks – through music. The entire show is filled with songs expressing thanks, gratitude and satisfaction.

Brainwaves likes to go back to the 1970s for our weekly flashback at the top of the second hour of the show. This week, it’s 70s tunes all the time, for the entire show – but not just any songs, but the playlist from the Brainwaves episode a few weeks ago where I played 70s songs as covers. This week, it’s the original versions. You’ll hear Big Star, Rod Stewart, ELO, Neil Young, Carole King, Pink Floyd, Chicago, the Moody Blues and much more. Tune in and take the Brainwaves Time Machine back to the 1970s.
