Tune in next week for my last regularly scheduled LRC program. After a bit less than 4 years with LRC, my schedule from the holidays through the Spring Semester will be too complicated to commit to a weekly radio show. So, I’m going to celebrate by indulging myself and airing all my old favorites, and hopefully some clips from live sets and interviews I’ve been involved with over the years.
Archive for December, 2007
SOTD:
Polysics | Electric Surfin’ Go Go | Polysics or Die !!! Vista | Myspace Records | CD ’07
Which is apparently a compilation, but with a significantly different tracklisting than the 2005 Polysics or Die!!! release. Is Polysics or Die !!! Vista a reference to hatred for Windows Vista? Signal of an upcoming war between Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. (Myspace Records … pshh) and Bill Gates’ Microsoft? Hmmm … Anyway, some new songs from a Japan only release, including my song of the day.
My favorite releases of 2007 all morning.
