Songs From The Big Hair
Various | Saturday 3 - 5pm
If you're like a lot of us here at WRIR, you have a soft spot for at least some of the music from the 1980s. Whether it's new wave, punk rock, neopsychedelia, metal, funk, or good ole college radio rock, you'll likely hear it on this show. Hosted by a rotating cast of WRIR DJs, each episode has a slightly different flavor. And that keeps it interesting! DJ hosts include Sean Kennedy, Gene (The British Breakfast), DJ Graybeard (The Other Black Music, The Motherland Influence), Dirty Dacoit Dan (Salad Days), Rev. Noah, Fontaine (What The Fontaine?!), Enzo (Breakfast Blend), Stewart Allen, Allan Coberly (The New Breakfast Snob), Albert Green (Chapter & Verse), and others.

4/13/13 Songs From the Big Hair: Fontaine Plays Lotsa 80s Punk
Okay I'm gonna tell ya right up front, I'll be playing some 70s songs today, but they'll all have that punky sound, I promise. Plus of course lotsa 80s punk, and a few other things. Last week I got to see (and briefly hang out with) Sylvain Sylvain of the New York Dolls and Glen Matlock of The Sex Pistols. I wanted to post Syl's autographed setlist or Dolls LP, but the scanner up here isn't working (wah, wah). How about a photo of him from the internet instead? Oh yeah, tune in 3-5pmEDT today to hear all the music!
