"I want radio that says something to me"

I did this for the WRUV spring 2003 Schedule. It is inspired by the Colin Clary song "Left of the Dail" and the mod paintings of American painter Lee.

Here are the Schedules:

And here is the Lee painting:

Twenty Three records, Twenty Three years

So I have decided to relaunch this blog. A while ago in a self obsessive moment of weakness, I compiled a list of important records for each year going back to 1985. Each record for some reason or another is associated with a certain year. Like moving from Amherst to Cambridge and obsessively listening to Tullycraft for about two weeks straight or practicing my Michael Jackson moves in my room with a one ski glove liner on my left hand.

love and records,
