Yee-hah! Pledge time

Please give a call during my showgram Wednesday night from 6 to 9 -- or any of the other fine shows on WMSE 91.7 / wmse.org -- during our fall pledge / membership drive. Lots of cool 'thank you' gifts, led by the Blank Generation calendar of black-and-white photos of the Milwaukee music scene back in the day (Mars remembers, more or less). Call 414-799-1917 or go to wmse.org to do your thang.

New stuff 10-14-09 + Eighties @ 8:30

Weather is crappy at the moment but supposed to hit 60 next week! Musically speaking, there are a ton of good new tracks at the station (and a couple in my possession) to play. Special thing this week was the compilation CDs (by the station, I guess) of late 70s/ early 80s punk/ new wave -- mostly from Milwaukee -- to go with our Milwaukee's Blank Generation 2010 wall calendar fundraiser.
