July 2nd- an 80's Adventure!

This week we're going back in time again to play all our favorite tracks from the decade we were born. We'll spend two hours this Friday playing jams released in the 1980s. So, tune in to 89.7 FM or online from 5-7 PM CT and reminisce as we share our favorite stories from the 1980s. Mer will speak fondly of her days in Michigan and Klang will mumble about playing with popples and that strange year she lived in Montana back in '88.

Listen closely: our last track will be dedicated to a certain foreign correspondent that has left us for the summer of adventures in D.C.
