The run-around drill sergeant of love meets the freeform radio nurse in an international popularity crisis. Twang, dub, noise, rockers, aliens, drum machines, foreigners, imported goods, songs, rumbles, hollers, blips and squiggles along with an occasional musical number.

February 15, 2009: Aussie Valentine w/ Guest DJ Robert Vickers (ex-The Go-Betweens)!
Robert Vickers joins Daniel Blumin for a special post-Valentine's Day guest dj set. Most might know Vickers from his time playing bass in The Go-Betweens (1983-1987), but Robert started out in the Brisbane punk scene playing in The Numbers before moving to New York and joining new wave power-popping band The Colors (1979-1983). Robert will be spinning some tunes from Down Under and talking about the late 70's scene in Australia and of course the Forster/McLennan partnership. Listening to music and chatting as we cry bitter Valentine's Day tears by the bucketful. What could be better? Tune in!
