Still remember one tape I made, must have been the spring of 1985 or 1986 can't remember when, of a typical WPRB broadcast back in those days. The tape had "Warrior in Woolworth's" by X-Ray Spex, a live version of Zappa's "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow," "White Light/White Heat" by the Velvet Underground, "I Wanna Fuck Your Brains Out" by G.G. Allin, "Look Back and Laugh" by Minor Threat, "Bitchin' Camaro" by the Dead Milkmen, "Hamburger Martyr" (can't remember who did that one, it'll come to me), some long-forgotten gem of a punk song called "Go to a Party and Act Like an Asshole" by some long-forgotten band, and various other gems ... I think I wore that tape out that summer from playing it so much. Wish I still had it, in fact, one of the best "sampler" tapes I've ever had.
God, I gotta stop this ... I'm getting misty-eyed just thinking about it.

i remember hearing wfmu when we used to drive up to pier platters and princeton record exchange. it was musicologist stuff, very dry, but their playlists are interesting.

I like current Radio 1 for much the same reasons Mark does, though arguably there's nothing quite as great in mid-late-evening as the old Mark Radcliffe show.
Anyone interested in the non-corporate side of UK radio should read Simon Reynolds's chapter on London pirate radio in _Energy Flash_ / _Generation Ecstacy_, obviously.

Ford and other car makers want to remove AM radio from car radios. Boo.

This is fun – pick a country and a decade and it serves music from that time and place:
