KRLX mix #26 (2/6/2019)

We all long for human connection, but sometimes the technology — or the users of it — let us down. “Communication Breakdown,” based on a playlist originally compiled by the DJ’s dad, features tales of telephonic tribulation, whether it’s Debby Harry hanging on the telephone or Paul Westerberg pouring his heart out to an answering machine. Not that the wires always get crossed: Wilson Pickett and The Marvelettes are just a dropped dime away from love. With songs both poignant and perky, this episode of WTAW is sure to have your number.
