Theme-based radio show featuring music from various genres: 80s, goth, new wave, punk, classic country, Americana, experimental, oddities, etc . . .
Special Guest DJ Nick Rice loves radio! He brings a great playlist along with tales of growing up in the south, world travel, fixing and racing vintage cars, and more!
Happy Birthday to twins Kim and Kelley Deal of The Breeders! Twins theme interspersed with other tunes. Accidentally appropriate for Gemini season!

Chris Young and I talk about the Voyager Golden Records that were launched into space in 1977. We also reveal the results of the survey asking what song and image people would include if we were to launch another one. Many thanks to all the folks who participated!
Chris Young of Are Friends Electric? takes over Ether Transmissions for this episode. He celebrates his mom's birthday with songs from New Zealand. He also celebrates some musical birthdays, including one of my favorites, Siouxsie Sioux (b. May 27, 1957)!

More music from the dystopian ether.
Postcard: "The two White House Easter bunnies help Nancy Reagan greet the 21,000 children who came to frolic at the traditional Easter Monday Egg Roll and newly instituted egg hunt. The President, still convalescing from his painful ordeal, is upstairs re-engaging with the routine of the Presidency by easy steps as he approaches the end of the "First Hundred Days" in office - a successful period that saw a decisive U-turn in the course of American government." April 20, 1981
