This Week's Theme: Some Of My Favorite Records You May Not Have Heard Before Last week's show of selections from the Trouser Press Record Guide dove into my alt-music past.

Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 22 (June 26, 2022): Was It A Top 40 Hit?

This Week's Theme: In Memoriam 2021 (Part One) Hundreds of musicians, songwriters, producers, and recording artists died in 2021.
