<br>Another East Coaster here, KROQ virgin.That's Rodney B? Never heard him either. What's the song after White Wedding? About an earthquake.
I suspect it wasn't played much on WLIR[:D]
Thanks for posting; sounds great!

Rodney on the 'ROQ, or Rodney Bingenheimer... fixture of LA for a long-ass time! He would play what he wanted to, back in 1982 he was way into Modernism (Mods); hence the great Power Pop he would play, plus his oldies, and other cool '60s tunes.
He is his myspace site:

I remember going to his "Rodney's English Disco" to dance to great Mod/Ska/New Wave tunes... then he had to close his club down, and then I'd see him only at The Odyssey or late at Penny Feathers Coffee Shop eating.
He definately waas not the most exciting DJ to listen to, that's for sure! He played the best punk though...
Listening to the KROQ file was definately a blast into the past for me, loads of memories, the ads were the best, Licorece Pizza--bought a ton o' records there, and the concert schedule be read by Rodney, I remember seeing those bands play around LA a lot; especially, 20/20!!! Oh what fun I had, good times!
