Dream Girl Radio / EXT SRC presents:

 

Today I’m doing a bit of an origin story, reflecting on albums that live rent-free in my brain. That’s a weird way of saying I’m making a playlist of my favorite albums, excluding anything before 1997 because if we dig into vinyl this playlist would be 10+ hours long. These are albums that set standards for me and introduced me to new genres and styles. Maybe we share some favorites?

Kaleidoscopic Soul / Kristin Star presents:

Hello,

I hope everyone is having a great December and is getting ready for Christmas. Tonight we are playing some classic R &B vibes to get the mood right. The last hour I will be playing a Christmas R & B mix that should be lots of fun. The question of the night is, “What do you want for Christmas?” I will share what I want during the show. Remember, you can get WRIR shirts from Circle Thrift and Plan 9 Records. Enjoy the night and get those Christmas gits together! ~ One Love. Kristin Star
