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 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 have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to brand-new music!

We open the show with a tune from David Synn’s new album, The Oracle, and then, over the course of our three hours, we bring you new tunes from Ligature, Masser Chups, The Heavy Editors, Lady Gaga, Electric Pets, Jim Lange, John Bunkley and more.

Via our Chicago pipeline, we bring you new tunes from AJ Rosales and Catherine Campbell, both of which will be released this coming Friday.  Chicago singer-songwriter AJ Rosales offers up his new single “Wait,” while Catherine Campbell  will be releasing  the EP Outline on Friday, March 14 and the first single is “Long Hair,” which you will hear in our first hour. Catherine is currently based in Chattanooga, but is originally from Lexington, Kentucky (coincidentally where your humble blogger and his wife were hanging out last weekend).  AJ’s album is due later this year.

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