Heavier Octaves Radio

John Mayer took control of   The Spectrum (SIRIUS channel 18 / XM channel 45) on December 16 at 6pm ET. He played some of his favorite songs by other artists, and then grabbed the guitar and played some of his own songs.

Here is what he played during the DJ segment,which was the first half of the show:

Billy Preston – That’s The Way Good Planned It (Live at Concert for Bangladesh)

Bell X1 – The Great Defector

Miike Snow – Animal

John Mayer – Edge of Desire

Death Cab for Cutie – Marching Bands of Manhattan

The Police – Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Mayer Hawthorne – Strange Arrangement

John Mayer – All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye

Keane – Crystal Ball

Teddy  Thompson – Altered State

Fleet Foxes – White Winter Hymnal

Bob Dylan – Tangled Up In Blue

During the second half, his mini concert segment: “Half of My Heart”, “Heartbreak Warfare”, “War of My Life” and “Who Says” acoustic.  The music was soothing and the brief talks about each song’s meaning as a segue into each performance was not only enlightening, but also a nice touch.

The mini concert acoustic setlist:

Half of My Heart

Heartbreak Warfare

War of My Life

Who Says

This week’s  Weekend Inspiration is the version of  “Heartbreak Warfare” performed on Spectrum.  A download of the entire show can be found in the John Mayer Online Radio Show archives at this link. Please enjoy and share!
