Jenn is prepping for his last couple of episodes of season 7 so we're putting a recent episode of Super Awesome Mix on the feed this week.  The focus is on gratitude and in particular, songs that feature the words 'Thank You'.  We kick off with Sly’s Thank You and the relief of being yourself again, then trace how Dido’s gentle melody got flipped into Eminem’s Stan without erasing its original warmth. Andrew Gold’s Thank You for Being a Friend sparks a riff on friendship rituals, party etiquette, and why the Golden Girls hook lives rent-free in our heads. DJ Khaled and Big Sean bring gratitude to ambition, reminding us that success without appreciation rings hollow. Boyz II Men drop us into a 90s harmony cocoon, proving that a simple refrain can feel like community.  The mix widens with Logic’s Thank You, closing on real fan voicemails from around the globe—a living map of music’s connective tissue. Alanis Morissette’s Thank U honors letting go and landing; Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre rework Sly’s groove into a modern head-nod; Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats turn repetition into affirmation. Diana Ross glows with a love that adds to an already good life, pushing back on the myth that gratitude only comes from struggle. And we sign off with Moana’s You’re Welcome, a playful reminder to accept appreciation with grace.  https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-thank-you-mix/pl.u-02P6s4oxbV1.
