Favoriting February 15, 2009: Aussie Valentine w/ Guest DJ Robert Vickers (ex-The Go-Betweens)!
Robert Vickers joins Daniel Blumin for a special post-Valentine's Day guest dj set. Most might know Vickers from his time playing bass in The Go-Betweens (1983-1987), but Robert started out in the Brisbane punk scene playing in The Numbers before moving to New York and joining new wave power-popping band The Colors (1979-1983). Robert will be spinning some tunes from Down Under and talking about the late 70's scene in Australia and of course the Forster/McLennan partnership. Listening to music and chatting as we cry bitter Valentine's Day tears by the bucketful. What could be better? Tune in!
