We’ve got another huge episode of Radio Free Charleston for you today on The AIR.  To listen to The AIR, you simply have to point your cursor over and tune in at the website, or you could just stay here, and  listen to the cool embedded player found elsewhere on this page.  

You can hear Radio Free Charleston Tuesdays at 10 AM and 10 PM, with boatloads of replays throughout the week.

The week we bring you another three full hours of our free-format blend of local, independent, alternative, weird and whatever else I feel like playing music. And this week we throw in a few mini-themes for you.  Our second hour includes two epically long prog rock tunes, both just released, and our third hour has some pseudo-Reggae, Police-sounding tunes in one set, and songs that share their names with paintings in another.

We open the show with a tune from The M.F.B. and then, over the course of our three hours, we bring you new tunes from Ghoulbox, J. Marinelli, The Heavy Editors, Skyflake, The Settlement, David Synn and more.

It’s a free-format free-for-all that may very well thrill and/or delight you.

The links in the playlist will take you to the pages for the artists in this week’s show where possible.
