Also a day late, but here's yesterday afternoon's Deep Cut:
The Verve – Lucky Man
Ask almost anyone to name a song from this band's 1997 album Urban Hymns and they response will be "Bittersweet Symphony." But though it's been largely forgotten about since, "Lucky Man" – the third single released from the album – was actually a fairly successful song. It was a top-20 hit in the United States.

Deep Cut of the Day 7/14/09
Today's Deep Cut of the Day:
Dave Matthews Band – Jimi Thing
From the 1994 album Under the Table and Dreaming. The song was released as the second single off the CD (after "What Would You Say," but before "Ants Marching" and "Satellite") but failed to move on the charts. Since then, however, it has become a popular song in live performances. If you like the song, check out the extended live version on the bonus disc to Dave Matthews' 2003 solo album Some Devil.

Sunday Morning @ Roo Radio Playlist 7/12/09
A couple of apologies: first, for not putting playlists up for the past few weeks' shows; second, for depriving everyone of the first hour of today's show. One of the downsides of doing a live show and not relying on a computer to run things is that when the occasional thing comes up on Sunday morning (*cough* driving a lazy friend to the airport *cough*) it can throw of the schedule. Everything will be normal next week.
