Request for requests

Since starting this blog the single-most viewed post has been the post-punk nuggets show. I'm thinking of doing another one next week and would love to get in anything y'all want to hear, so leave me a comment with your request!

21st Century show

Since I've been playing quite a bit of older material, I wanted to do a show with strictly 21st century stuff. All these tracks were plucked off my favorite albums of their respective years.

No show today

The weather here is awful this morning - snow, freezing rain, a joy to drive in! Unfortunately that means no show today, but on Thursday night from 9-10pm my friend and I will be doing a Singled Out hour of Wire, tune in!

1-11-11 Show

Yeah, I could've done a theme on the '1' in the date or a numerical theme but after all the theme shows (which sometimes lend themselves to tracks I might not ordinarily play) I just wanted to pick some of my favorite stuff! New material in the first set then bits and bobs from years passed.

New Years Show

This weeks them was the new year, and since there's very few explicit 'New Year' songs I focused more on the 'year' part. My themes lately lend themselves to little sets of NZ, AU, power-pop, punk and post-punk that work well together.
