Blizzard in My Area Postpones Kate Garner Interview

Click here to listen live between 7-9pm Eastern US Time You can also get the show from our flagship station website: www.wtbq.com. Check the bottom of this post for other affiliates’ dates and times.

A massive blizzard will keep me from being live in the studio tonight for Revenge of the 80s Radio and time spent digging out of it along with the extra day-job work kept me from recording a new show. We are postponing the airing of my conversation with Haysi Fantayzee’s Kate Garner until the next week’s show (3/5/10), which will also feature new music by Kate as well as a brand new track from Debora Iyall.

Tonight, I will re-broadcast one of my favorite Revenge of the 80s shows, which features an interview with the elegant and multi-talented Adriana Kaegi from almost one year ago and shortly after the release of her brilliant TAG album.

We apologize to those of you who wanted to hear our Kate Garner interview tonight, but we have her on next week. Thank you and enjoy the show.

Revenge of the 80s airs live on Friday nights 7-9ET on Q99.1FM in the Hudson Valley (www.wtbq.com); on Wednesdays 12noon Melbourne, AUS time on Radio 80s 87.6FM; Weekday mornings 7-9am AUS time on Seymour FM; Wednesday nights 6-8pm (Eastern US) and Saturdays 7-9pm on The Volt radio (Canada). Podcasts are available on Saturdays after the live show.

Pogues Box Set Slated for March 1st Release

Rhino Records announced it will release The Pogues‘ first five albums (Rum Sodomy and the Lash, Red Roses for Me, If I Should Fall from Grace With God, Peace and Love, and Hell’s Ditch) as a Box Set on March 1st, 2010. The compilation is part of Rhino’s “Original Album Series” editions, which include box sets of music by The Pretenders, Echo & The Bunnymen, Todd Rundgren and The Cars.

The Box Set can be purchased at our Revenge of the 80s Amazon Store.

There is, however, some bad news for Pogues fans in the states: According to their official website, the band will not be touring in the U.S. for March as they have been in most of the past years. There are also no plans for a St. Patrick’s Day show this year.
