Comment:

This past new year's eve I hosted an 11.5 hour program called New Wave New Years on WMBR, the purpose of which was to play songs from the late 70's early 80's as a soundtrack for listener get-togethers. I use the term New Wave loosely, so traditionalists who scowl "that song isn't new wave!" are probably correct. This particular section of the program had a similar theme to the last one, familiar artists doing songs that weren't their biggest hits. This one gets off to a rough start, as the Adam and the Ants cut skips and the U2 vinyl was completely shredded. I should have used the CDs! After that it straightens itself out quite well. I burned this mix down to disc while OTA without interruption. I'll be posting other NWNY mixes in the future, thanks for looking!

You had hayzee fantayzee in the mix? Now that's taking a risk. I would have thought Scritti Politti or Randy Andy would have fit better.
