If you listen to the show, you will each week hear Slavens entreat the listeners to send him suggestions for music. He takes these suggestions seriously and figures that in any given show "about 25 to 40 percent of the playlist" comes from recent listener suggestions. Another 40 percent comes from music that he has been turned on to by listeners over the past five years. The remaining balance is the truly "eclectic" music, stuff ranging from classical to country to show tunes.

"Nothing is more gratifying than for a listener to tell me I turned them on to some music they'd never heard," Slavens says. The votes cast for this Dallas Observer Music Award suggest the 90.1 at Night show is a mutual pleasure. —Doug Davis
