Plank to the Face Radio... Huh?

In my 20 plus years of broadcasting, I've spent a majority of it working in radio. And while I overall enjoyed the experience, I never really liked the way the music was programmed. Granted, that's another subject for another time, but in looking back, I think there were four situations I didn't feel that way. Two involved college stations. The stations were student run and more importantly, student programmed. The DJs controlled the music for the most part. The format was generally alternative, but other styles crept into the mix, like blues, reggae, jazz and even country. So while we played artist like Midnight Oil, the Cure, the Smiths (hey, it was the 80s), you might also hear Miles Davis, Albert Collins, Burning Spear or even Johnny Cash, before he was cool again. The third was a syndicated radio show I produced that featured new, independent artists. The final situation was a couple years ago when a local station let me do an 80s show on Saturday afternoon. The audience response was good, I got to play music I liked, and even had my friends co-host the show. And that brings us to the present. I guess in an attempt to recreate my college radio experience, I put together the playlists for Plank to the Face. It's a variety of music, from the 50s to the present with an emphasis on the 80s. Most of it would fall into the alternative category, but there's plenty of mainstream music I also enjoy (ABBA is a guilty pleasure). Do I make any apologies for my choices? No, because music means different things to different people. My wife loves Josh Groban, but thankfully our tastes meet at They Might Be Giants. I just enjoy having an avenue to share my musical taste and maybe turn people onto a band or song they might not be familiar with. New tunes are added weekdays with a larger playlist on the weekend. So hit the link and enjoy. And I promise, no idle DJ patter...
