The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

..but when Nigel flicks the switch, nothing happens. Frantically, he pushes the button on the side and fiddles with the dial... No good. The radio is broken... | ||||||||||

Punks and skins were variously fighting it out in the middle of it all.
Makes the later crooner gospel stuff seem weirdly pompous.

(Un)Happy ❤'s Day to you all!!
Thanks for all those DEVO tracks & that particular Sparks track that rarely gets played (for some reason).
If I may make a request, and if you have it handy, I'd like to hear Spandau Ballet's "True" 45 played in 33⅓. The song just hit me in the nostalgia lobe just hours ago while I was away on assignment.

I don't have any Spandau Ballet. Sorry!

I'm moving my show beginning on March 17 to the Monday 9am-noon spot.
Until then I'll still be on Mondays 3-6pm.
I'm moving because there's a meeting that happens Mondays 7pm and it takes almost a solid hour to get there, which means no time for dinner. This meeting is crucial for my mental health.
So, after exploring other options, the one that remained was to move my show. I'm a little apprehensive: can I do a morning show? But, I'm going to try. I think it will be ok.
