End Of The Century – Another Dose of Rock Blocks w/ LJ!
I had so much fun with the format last time, I’m doing a Rock Blocks show again!
Ever wonder what Dolly Parton was doing from 1975 to 1999? Me too!
The last rock block show had blocks of Phil Collins, Sonic Youth, Gary Numan, Vince Clarke, etc.
This time around, I’ve got blocks from Eddy Grant, Siouxsie, Belle & Sebastian, Geoff Barrow, etc.

Monday Breakfast Blend: January 22, 2018
I wasn’t a dedicated fan of The Cranberries, but if I were to create the soundtrack of my high school and college years, several of their songs would be in it. The news that we lost Dolores O’Riordan came after my show last week, so I couldn’t respond right away in the way DJs are wont to do — a tribute show of some sort. This gave me a week to process, and let others do some of that for me. I decided to play one of my favorite covers of a Cranberries song. You’ll hear it near the end of the show.

Monday Breakfast Blend: January 15, 2018
With the exception of Christmas (which is pretty easy), I’m not really one for making seasonally themed shows. I hope you are using today’s MLK holiday to do something good in the world. As for me, I’ll be doing some good by playing a bunch of tunes you should have heard by now, but probably haven’t.
