But fret not—because I'm going to try to construct one for you. You see, we've got 32 songs to play for you on this week's California Diner. And let's see, California was the, um, 31st state to join the Union, in 1850. Oops—I should have played one less song. Nope—I don't want to cheat you out of any of this great music. So which state came after California? The 32nd U.S. State, added in 1858, was the great state of Minnesota, from whence the other American on our crew, Justin Wayne, comes from.
What else do we have? This theme needs something else. If you were to make an international telephone call, and use country code 32, you'd reach Belgium. 32 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which water freezes in the United States. Interestingly enough, it freezes at 0 degrees Celsius in the rest of the world! Channel 32 is the Fox network affiliate in Chicago. 32-bit is some kind of computer thing. 32 is the amount of bottles of beer left on the wall after the first 68 have disappeared.
Okay, I think I've pushed it way too far. Suffice it to say, I'm proud that I'm able to squeeze in 32 songs this week. Great artists like Anny Celsi, based in Los Angeles, who writes and sings thoughtful Americana tunes. We'll start the show with one that sticks with you, from her Tangle-Free World album. We'll debut a loose, informal live track from Jerzey Street Band—an amazing Americana band from Manchester, UK—but they sound more like they come from somewhere around Tennessee or Georgia. New York City band The K's will jump-start your evening with their energetic power pop, straight off of their Can't Get It Together album (buy that one—use it instead of caffeine!). And we'll finish the show with a moody, sultry one from Los Angeles singer-songwriter Sarah Stanley. It's from her Tuesday Girl album, co-written with Rich McCulley, and the clever lyrics will make you wonder why more people don't write songs like this—oh yeah—because they're not Sarah Stanley! What the heck—we'll even throw in one of Rich's tunes this week, because we love you!
