Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

October 10, 2012: LP Mayhem In The PM: 3 hours of power-pop, post-punk, new wave and punk from 1978-1982! (31 Days Of October Silent Fundraiser, week 2)
Listen to this show:
Pop-up player!
Tonight it's another one of my "Mayhem" shows, where I return to my college radio roots and play nothing but power-pop, post-punk, new wave and punk from 1978-1982. The last few years I've done this during WFMU's Singles Going Steady week, so I'm turning the tables this time and playing nothing but LPs! It's part of the station's 31 Days Of October silent fundraiser -- we're giving you a full month of special shows instead of interrupting our on-air programming for a second time this year, but we really need your support to help keep us on the air. P L E A S E P L E D G E N O W ! Don't make me turn on the <blink> tag. |

I think we must have been trolling the Pioneer Valley at the same time. I saw both REM and Husker Du at Umass in the 80s, amongst others. The days of the good 'ol UPC and spring concerts that ruled.
