April 12, 1997 [Part 2] | WMFO 91.5 FM

This is definitely one of my more freeform shows. It kicks off with William Gibson reading from his classic cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer, and then very quickly devolves into a hot mess of punk and hardcore. Things get switched up with a request for Galaxy 500 and morphs from indie pop to Gaelic music to dub (and one of my all time fave dub tracks) to some Icelandic music (I think) and beyond. Ph, and some Pat Boone and Billy Joel, too boot!

Today’s show finds me in Chicago. Tweet or follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/josephaleo to tell me what record stores to check out and whatever else I should know what’s going on in that toddling’ town.
