Martin Hannett Show - 7/20/09

Martin Hannett, one of the unsung heroes of post-punk I wanted to sing about but to spare you all the displeasure of hearing me sing, I dedicated a radio show to him instead. He was a demanding, willful producer that worked with a lot of the great bands. More importantly though, he helped create the blueprint for the entire genre in terms of sound and tone and feel. Tonight's show was all about those sounds and tones and feels.

Drums Show - 7/13/09

Generally, my favorite beatzz and drum sounds from the post-punk era. And like just about everything else, my genre of choice features some of the most interesting, unconventional percussion out there. If you like that kind of stuff, than this is the show for you. If not, well then to hell with ya'.

Gay Show - 7/6/09

In honor of Gay Pride Weekend, which was over a week ago, I played all bands with a gay artist or artists or possibly bisexual or in one case, transgendered or in another case, transsexual. These were certainly some important people to the punk/post-punk/new wave/alternative genre but really it is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of music and the tip of Mt. Everest when it comes to entertainment as a whole. As I said several times on the show and now once on this blog, queer peoples' contribution to the arts is something to be truly admired and respected. That was what I tried to do this evening with the show:
