Sheffield UK Show - 11/10/08

Just a steeltown girl (town) on a Saturday (Monday) night. Sheffield UK, an English city that may not get a lot of publicity but certainly has its place in the heart of post-punk as well as modern indie music. I played only bands from Sheffield, spanning from the mid/late seventies to the present day. And you can download them all by following this link:

Political Songs Show on Election Eve - 11/3/08

'Twas the night before election and what better way to celebrate than to play politcally-themed songs of the post-punk, punk, and alternative genres? What? I'm seriously asking you. Because I couldn't think of anything better so that is exactly what I did.

Sadly, there was a point in the show where the broadcast abruptly stopped but like any good American, I rolled up my sleeves, opened up a sound editing program, and pasted the rest of the songs left on my playlist to the end of the recording posted on my blog. You can download that recording by following the link below:
