"A Very New Wave Christmas" on Long Island Radio

[patchyfogg]

I'll be hosting the 100% commercial-free "Very New Wave 80's Christmas" tomorrow morning (Saturday December 5th) from 9AM to 11AM on Long Island's 90.3FM.

Live video and audio will also be available at that time at http://www.justin.tv/whpc903 so you don't have to be in the listening area.

(Because this will be a "very special" episode of Essential 80's, it will only be New Wave Christmas songs--and ID's--recorded/released from 1/1/1980 to 12/31/1989)

I hope you can tune in, and please tell some friends. The show will also be uploaded to http://itunes.ncc.edu on Monday.

As always, thanks!

Not all New Wave, but.......

Tomorrow morning (Saturday 12/19) from 9AM to 11AM on Long Island's 90.3FM, I'm continuing my holiday tradition of co-hosting "A Very 80's Christmas."

(It's a cool, non-paying hobby that lets me play some music from my extensive collection of Holiday songs released or recorded from 1/1/80-12/31/89.)

The Waitresses & "Christmas Wrapping", Band Aid &"Do They Know It's Christmas?", Elmo and Patsy & "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"--yeah, you'll hear all of them. Plus, Wham, Billy Squier, The Pretenders, The Pogues, etc., etc.

The show will be rebroadcast as Christmas Eve turns into Christmas Day at Midnight on Thursday/Friday on 90.3FM, as well.

Thanks, and please tell some friends about us.
