MIRRORBALL
Friday at 2 PM on The AIR, Mel Larch revisits the iconic New York City Disco, Studio 54. We bring you an encore of her 54th episode which is notable because, not only does it present the classic album, “A Night At Studio 54,” Mel’s introduction was recorded AT Studio 54. You can read the full details HERE.
You can hear MIRRORBALL every Friday at 2 PM, with replays most weeks Monday at 9 AM and Tuesday at 1 PM and a four-hour mini-marathon of classic episodes Friday nights at 8 PM.
Sydney’s Big Electric Cat Goes RED
Also on The AIR at 3 PM (EDT), Sydney Fileen graces us with special mixtape-style new episode of Sydney’s Big Electric Cat. This week Sydney takes a suggestion of her engineer, Nigel Pye (also the host of Psychedelic Shack), and devotes her entire two hour program to New Wave songs with the word “Red” in the title.
And she doesn’t really seem to excited by the idea.
However, the song and band lineup is incredible, just check out the playlist…
