Jealous of the other DJs who took part in the many awesome music marathons during Radiothon, I made my own tiny lonesome version. So this week's Mystery Train is The First Annual Eighties ROCKTACULAR (is too a word) Mini-Marathon. Featuring some J. Geils' Band cuts, in honor of Geils, who died earlier this week, as well as Smithereens, Blondie, R.E.M., The Replacements, The Pretenders, INXS, The Talking Heads, The Pixies, Joan Jett, Prince, Pat Benatar, among others. But no Air Supply, Asia, Astley, A-Ha and no Axel F. And that's just the As. It's all eighties rocking goodness, my friends.
Hope you're inspired to make a pledge to (631) 632-6901 or during the show, to wusb.fm
