UNDERGROUND 80s UPDATE
(Preview)
Riggs-
Over the next couple of days I have to get on and totally revamp the Underground 80s page. I want to thank you for covering for me this past Sunday night. I went to go see Tommy Stinson, formerly of The Replacements. Phenomenal acoustic show- maybe some of the regulars remember some Replacemen...

A Movie to Define the 80's
(Preview)
Last night I watched The Secret of My Success. I wondered what movie may be chosen to best represent life in the 80's. Maybe Breakfast Club?

Is it just me or is Mo missing in action?
(Preview)
Maybe it's just me, but I haven't seen that much of Mocrzy lately. Where you been, Mo? Of course, I haven't been posting that much, so maybe I'm just missing his posts. Hope you're doing all right.

The switch from cassettes to cd's
(Preview)
When did you finally make the switch from cassettes to cd's?
For me I finally took the plunge about 3 years ago, my wife bought me a cd player for my truck.
It was a hard switch for me to do since I had thousands and thousands of tapes.

REQUEST LIMITS LOWER?

Hello everyone!
I've gotten a couple emails today asking about the lower request limit (we're at 2 every 30 minutes today).
As the station audience grows, and more importantly, as the size and the variety of the playlist grows, we unfortunately will need to have these lower limits on a more regul...
