Favoriting June 2, 2006: fill-in for JM in the AM: Mayhem in the AM part 4 (classic postpunk, punk and powerpop!)
For today's show (as well as a couple of shows liike this that i did in 2004 and this one from April) I went through my record collection and pulled out a bunch of favorites from my days as a DJ on WNYU's New Afternoon Show. Usually I mix in a lot of new and somewhat different stuff during my shows (as you'll see if you scan my other playlists), but these shows were devoted to the late 70s and early 80s.
I'm pointing this out so you don't tune in to future shows expecting them to be like this one! But if you like this music then maybe you'll like the other stuff I like now too.


Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

I do fill-ins, not a regularly scheduled show. If you'd like to find out when I'll be on the air next, just email me and i'll add you to my mailing list.
