The past week has been new wave OVERLOAD for me!
It began when I received an email from Les Chappell in order to arrange a phone interview that I wanted to record with Lene Lovich, from their home in England ... in support of her NYC appearance over the Labor Day weekend at the Drop Dead Festival. I should be doing the interview in the coming week or so, and I'll air snippets of it on the August edition of Land of the Lost on WXPN - and feature the entire interview as a podcast on XPN's new media site, which rolls out August 1.
Then, everything fell into place for Dance Craze 2 (see below) featuring The English Beat, and members of Selector and The Specials, which I will be hosting in September at World Cafe Live ... a great venue to see such wonderful live music!
Later that month I will be hosting Bunnydrums with some "special reunion guests" at the North Star Bar.
Then, all that's left is a signature and I'll officially be able to announce that I will be hosting the return of Wall of Voodoo to the stage this December!And, when I got home last night - I had an email waiting to ask if I'd be interested in being the host/DJ on August 8 at the TLA for the return of Gary Numan!
What a week indeed :)

truly amazing!
omg! I will never forget a PSA that WSRN (Swarthmore College's station) used to run w. Lene Lovich, playing "Lucky Number" in the background..."Ah-ooh, Ahh-ooh!"
Gary Neuman! Wow - wonder if he still wears jumpsuits???
BTW - I'm headed "downashore" next weekend for 2 weeks (Brigantine, to be exact) - any good New Wave/retro 80's happenings in that vicinity??
I'm defintely looking forward to that Bunnydrums show at the North Star, see you then!
BTW I've been toying with the idea of doing a New Wave/retro-80s party down in Rehoboth Beach DE for some time. Haven't found someone in the area to agree with me on such a party. Oh well there's always next summer.
Too hot!!
