Doug Does the 70s
Tonight (Sunday) from 6-8 I was asked to fill-in, and was given a free hand to do whatever I wanted. So instead of doing a quasi-Hi-Fidelity show, I'll be playing artists from the 70s. Not exactly my area of expertise and I could crash and burn in a big way. Tune and hear everything from Big Star, The Ramones, and Neil Young to Rush, Yes, and Kraftwork. It might be a car crash but atleast tune back in for Out on the Side with Jeremey which comes on at 8pm
