Last Friday’s program was pretty awesome. Mark, a new programmer here at WXOJ, was training with me and ran much of the show. We featured not only cover songs but the original of the song. Much fun!
It’s interesting to hear the differences (and sometimes NO difference) between the original and the cover. In this set, my most favorite cover has to be Senor Coconut’s cover of Kraftwerk’s, “Autobahn.” hehehe
We wanted to throw in a new cover/original from The Flaming Lips’ new release, *Sgt. Pepper’s*… but the song we needed was just release yesterday… so, SOON, my friends! ๐

National “Coming Out” Day 2014 Special
Posted: October 9, 2014 in UncategorizedTags: 90s rave, coming out day 2014, disco, duran duran, ERASURE, gay music, grunge, LGBT, lgbtq, marriage equality, menomena, national coming out day, new wave, NORTHAMPTON RADIO, olivia newton john, pet shop boys, revolting cocks, subculture northampton, transgender, usa politics, wxoj
National “Coming Out” day is this Saturday, October 11th and even though the *coming out* part, in my opinion, should be a thing of the past (i.e. people are people, who gives a fuck), there are still many of us in this world who have to give a great big damn about who knows about their sexual orientation or if they are stuck in the opposite-gendered body. Sad but way true.
Genocide and war drones. Now THERE are causes worth getting angry over and pursuing!
Nevertheless, we celebrate the steps it takes for someone to be true to themselves. And in Subculture’s case, we help do it via music!
So this Friday, tune into WXOJ 103.3fm in Northampton, MA 8-10p EST USA or live worldwide online at valleyfreeradio.org and and hear some kicking’ gay/LGBTQ-friendly music.
Where else will you find Olivia Newton-John and The Revolting Cocks in the same set? (WOOT!)
