Theme-based radio show featuring music from various genres: 80s, goth, new wave, punk, classic country, Americana, experimental, oddities, etc . . .
The usual suspects, some Halloween-y tunes, and some new-to-me songs.
Image: tintype from my collection. Despite being thrown in the trash (my partner found her), then knocked off the shelf by a small cat, and chewed on by a large dog, she's still here!
Chris Young of Are Friends Electric? (Sundays on WAYO from 8a-10a) takes over Ether Transmissions with a theme of Simple Machines. Hot tunes and cool lessons. Listen and learn, kids!
Songs for Mo and Poe. My best friend Mo died 5 years ago on this day. She shared a deathday with Edgar Allan Poe. She would have liked that.
Postcard: Portugal, 1969 by Ed van der Elsken (sent to me by Mo on April Fools Day 2003)
Jack the Ripper, murder ballads, devils, malcontents, and other sundries. And happy birthday Gibby Haynes (b. 9/30/1957)
Postcard: Bronze Head Augustus, 27 BC
Graveyard theme in honor of Rochester's beautiful Mt. Hope Cemetery, dedicated on October 3, 1838. A little early to kick off my favorite season.

The Xerox 914, the first successful commercial copier, was introduced to the public on September 16, 1959. Theme of clones, reproductions, copies, etc . . .
Just more music.

Joel Dow joined me on this beautiful day to spend two hours playing cool music and talking about making art.
My friend Scott Wischmeyer joined me and brought a kickin' playlist. Listen and dig.
On August 19, 1839 France gave Niepce and Daguerre's process, the daguerreotype, to the world for free. Not a full on theme but a thread running through this playlist.
