Panthers nix Showgram -- one night only!

I'll be taking this Wednesday night Feb. 18 off the airwaves to attend the UWM vs. Butler men's basketball game at the Arena. My able (and so much more) replacement will be Craig, who's been tearing it up as the Tuesday morning drive time WMSE host with his show "The Shape of Rock." If you're not at the game, please enjoy Craig this Wednesday night on WMSE/ 91.7/ wmse.org

in honor of a punk legend:

Little did I know when I played the Cramps last night that Mr. Interior was passing, or soon to pass. This is from WMSE's email newsletter.

And in honor of a punk legend:

To honor the passing of The Cramps' frontman, Lux Interior this morning in Glendale, California (he passed away from a pre-existing heart condition), Buzz will be spinning an hour-long set of The Cramps from 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. tomorrow (Friday, 2/6).

Expect demos and live tracks in addition to the previously-released Cramps recordings. Pay tribute in this musical eulogy to the ingenious gothic Elvis that changed the punk world forever. Tune in to WMSE or dowload it from our archives.
