They Say It's Spring: Radio Something broadcast for April 22, 2026

This show was conceived on a bright spring morning, driving along Ridge Road and Skiff Street in Hamden and North Haven. I don't thank I've ever seen so much forsythia in full bloom—in the early morning sunlight—plus daffodils, tulip magnolia trees, and cherry blossoms. I feel like the yellow is still seared onto my eyeballs.  Artist — Song — Release — LabelJonathan Richman — Le Printemps Des Amoreux Est Venue — Because Her Beauty Is Raw And Wild — Vapor P&D Jolie Holland — Springtime Can Kill You — Springtime Can Kill You — Anti/Epitaph Teddy Bear Radio — Latte & Forsythia — Springtime Relaxing Jazz Playlist — SIWORKMUSIC Vassell Meka — Flowers Dub — The Full Spectrum — Legacy Mekas Muzik Simon & Garfunkel — April Come She Will — Sounds Of Silence — SMEParaskevas Grekis — Avril - Hasaposervikos Dance — Greece-Grece/The Best Of Greek Music — Arcade Music Paris Rickie Lee Jones — Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most — Pop Pop — Geffen Lou & Peter Berryman — Forsythia — The Pink One — CORNBELT Pokey LaFarge — Daffodil Blues — Riverboat Soul — Free Dirt Records Cedric Burnside — Pretty Flowers — Pretty Flowers — Single Lock Records John Fahey — When The Springtime Comes Again — Death Chants, Breakdowns And Military Waltzes — Fantasy RecordsVeda Hille — This Spring/Spring Can Really Hang You up the Most — Little Volcano — Veda Hille Beaten By Them — Spring Bird — Kinder Machines — Logicpole Cœur De Pirate — Printemps — Cœur De Pirate — Wrasse Records Ron Sexsmith — Spring of the Following Year — Hermitage — WM Canada Kaia Kater — Sun to Sun — Sorrow Bound — Kingswood Records David Kuncicky — (Nothing But) Flowers — (Nothing But) Flowers — David KuncickyParis Combo — Avril — Attraction — Universal Music Division Polydor Emilíana Torrini — Miss Flower — Miss Flower — Groenland Records Bruce Cockburn — April In Memphis — Crowing Ignites — True North Records Jacqueline Taieb — Le printemps à Paris — Femmes de Paris, Vol. 1 — Silva Screen RecordsPierolalune — Poisson d'avril — Au clair de l'année — Montagne et Musique De Dannan — The Flowers of Spring — The Best Of DeDannan — Shanachie Nkemjika — Forsythia — Forsythia — Nkemjika Ferre Gola — Poisson d'avril — QQJD, Vol. 3 — Ferre GolaJoanna Newsom — Sprout and The Bean — Sprout and The Bean — Drag City Records Angel Olsen — Spring — All Mirrors — Jagjaguwar A Hawk And A Hacksaw — The Sparrow — The Way The Wind Blows — The Leaf Label Glenn Jones — Forsythia — Vade Mecum — Thrill Jockey Nina Simone — Wild Is The Wind — The Best Of Nina Simone 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection — Verve ReissuesErin McKeown — They Say It's Spring — Sing You Sinners — TVP Records Mila Drumke Band — I Think the Spring — Radiate — Little Pro Records Young Iranian female voices — Song of Spring and Hope — Songs in the Mist — Kirkelig Kulturverksted Tom Waits — You Can Never Hold Back Spring — Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards — Anti/Epitaph Djivan Gasparyan — Lovely Spring — Moon Shines At Night — All Saints Records Claudia Schmidt — Fanfare For Forsythia — Out of the Dark — New Rounder Talking Heads — (Nothing But) Flowers — Naked — Parlophone UKJolie Holland — First Sign of Spring — Wine Dark Sea — Anti/Epitaph Frank Kimbrough — Forsythia — Rumors — Palmetto Records
