One of Morgan's great Friday songs, this is Hot Chip covering The Boss (with a sprinkle of LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends"): www.youtube.com -- Did you know that Courtney Cox got her first big break when she was pulled from the audience onto stage with The Boss for a dancing cameo in his “Dancing in the Dark” video? The video directed by famed auteur Brian De Palma was shot during a pair of Springsteen shows in St. Paul, Minn. and the rocker pulled the then 20-year-old Cox from the audience to dance with him onstage, not knowing that she was an actress who was chosen during a casting call in New York.: www.youtube.com

Hi John, Today is my birthday. I vividly remember the last time my birthday was on a Friday - it was a beautiful day in Seattle and my last day of work before maternity leave. I turned on KEXP, and the first song I heard was “Freedom! 90.” It was a perfect day. Things look a lot different this year. My almost 5 year old son was joined by a little sister in July, and in November we moved to NYC so my husband Chris could get treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I lost Chris to his multi-year battle with cancer last month. We were together 17 years. So here we are. It’s Friday, it’s my birthday, and it’s another beautiful day in NYC. Things are going to be hard, but I have two amazing children that remind me of their father. We will all be ok. Chris loved music and he loved to dance. Can you please play some Hot Chip in his memory? Thanks, Elizabeth

This mashup is compiled of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" and LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends."

This is a wonderful mashup of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" and LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends." -- "It takes some bottle to attempt a song by The Boss - he’s one of those people, like Prince or The Beatles, who kind of got it perfect themselves. The original has so much style, and now nostalgia, that his flawless version is hard to hear in any other way. That in mind, the only way Hot Chip could have made an impact on this was to take it back to the era and form a tangent universe from it. One in which Bruce never touched it.": www.thelineofbestfit.com

Hot Chip's cover of Dancing in the Dark would really hit the spot today. Thanks for all you do. You are very much appreciated. --Courtney from Spokane ====== This is a wonderful mashup of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" and LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends." -- "It takes some bottle to attempt a song by The Boss - he’s one of those people, like Prince or The Beatles, who kind of got it perfect themselves.

"That's how it starts..." (Hot Chip interpolating LCD Soundsystem on this cover of The Boss). -- Good morning and happy summer solstice. In honor of the longest day of the year, KEXP is only playing long songs 6:13 and longer. Why 6:13? Well, that’s the length of “Like a Rolling Stone” by Bob Dylan According to an op-ed written in the NY Times by Shaun Considine, who was the release coordinator for Columbia Records in 1965, "Like a Rolling Stone" was first relegated to the "graveyard of canceled releases" because of concerns from the sales and marketing departments over its unprecedented six-minute length and "raucous" rock sound. In the days following the rejection, Considine took a discarded acetate of the song to the New York club Arthur—a newly opened disco popular with celebrities and the media—and asked a DJ to play it. At the crowd's insistence, the demo was played repeatedly, until finally it wore out. The next morning, a disc jockey and a programming director from the city's leading top 40 stations called Columbia and demanded copies. Shortly afterward, on July 20, 1965, "Like a Rolling Stone" was released as a single with "Gates of Eden" as its B-side.

*Celebrating the music of 2015!* Famously covering Springsteen on this one.

A Springsteen cover---that's how it starts.. Someone wrote, "When the LCD Soundsystem lyrics hit, a tear in the space time continuum (of my mind) is ripped wide open and the entire universe swirls together in the infinite abyss. But that may be just me.": www.youtube.com
