Radio Fragments - 1970s: Electronic Music Comes of Age
by Jeff on Sep.28, 2011,under Weekly Show
I have a soft spot for non-pop (well, and some pop, but that's not the point) electronic music from the 70s & 80s, and I've had some luck lately scoring some fantastic and rare examples (thanks Frank). So, I figured "hey, why don't I do a show dedicated to that, and to further restrict myself, just take the decade of the 70s, everyone will like that!"
It is possible I'm insane.
