One of the best radio shows ever IMO. Glad to see its return.

The show will stream live here.

What is “New Music”?

Sa-weeeet! Maybe I can pull my Sonos system off of Flashback Alternatives for a bit!

[Gay State Conservative]

I have a music collection of about 5,000 songs...all on CD or in MP3 format (for the songs I want that I can't find on CD).Having been buying CD since the late 80's I'd *never* go back to vinyl.Yes,vinyl has sentimental importance to me for many reasons...but in terms of sound quality *and* convenience CDs are the gold standard.If the song's important for me to want I want it on CD (if I can find it).

As for my collection...about 10% is from the 50's...80% is from the 60's...1% from the 70's...8% from the 80's and the rest is more recent times.IOW,current music is cr@p.
