It’s Tuesday on The AIR  and that means it’s Radio Free Charleston time, and we’re back from our allergy-induced week off with another new three-hour episode of Radio Free Charleston. 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.

We have three full hours of music, much of it new, local and not, at 10 AM and 10 PM Tuesday.   This week our latest Radio Free Charleston has killer new tunes from Frenchy And The Punk, Todd Rundgren and Rivers Cuomo, Todd Burge, Queen, The Company Stores, Dave Davies, David Synn, Bjork, The Paranoid Style and many more. We play a couple of Frenchy and The Punk songs from their forthcoming album, Zen Ghost, which is due out October 28.

Also, I’m still a bit raspy from the last week, but I was awake for the whole show, so that’s good.

Throughout the show we continue our mix of local, independent and major-label artists, just to keep you on your toes.  This week we veer a little proggy, a little ska, a little metal. All kinds of music are welcome here on RFC. Just a warning, parts of the show aren’t really safe for work, but then you probably already knew that. Also, the Rundgren/Cuomo song is a potential major league earworm. Despite our local leanings, we do get a little international this week, with artists from Poland, Niger, Japan, Iceland, The UK, and Kentucky.

Check out the playlist below to see all the goodies we have in store. Live links will take you to the artist’s page…
