This week I borrowed some Joy Division records from my buddy Meatsock. So it was only natural with the weather we have been experiencing in CT here recently to focus more this week on Post-Punk. Also, as unplanned as it was, there seems to be a bit of an American/freedom theme in the song titles that works well with the whole 4th of July weekend thing. Oops.

So make sure to tune in and check out the interview next week, Friday June 26th at 4PM on Stand Up And Dance.

so after snakefeather and i got done DJing our monthly gig in Willimantic, CT i was talking to him about the video for music sounds better with you. i was remembering how much i used to really enjoy the videos for techno songs in the 90’s. there are lots of good ones so i decided to take this chance to post a couple. keeping with the new wave theme of my show on WHUS, i also have to post the video for new order’s true faith. i have been looking for an excuse to post it for a while now so here it is.

stardust - music sounds better with you

and the chemical brothers’ star guitar

A very fun week this week. So Many Dynamos played this week at The Space in Hamden CT. If you missed it, fear no, they will be back at The Space at the end of July.

so i came across this 90-minute new wave guide recently in getting ready for my new show on WHUS this coming Friday and thought i would share. if you find yourself asking, well what exactly is new wave anyway, check this out. i may just end up playing a few of these tunes this week on the show so check it out. also they have a 90-minute post-punk guide as well you can check out.

90-minute post-punk guide:

also i made a mix tape for this first show and will likely make these new wave mix tapes from time to time for use on this show and my own pleasure. i will post the playlist from that for you to check out so that you can make you’re own, just like me, if you so desire.

or should i say DJ Radio Rocks!!! is here.

it has been a while since there have been any posts here on my website and if any of you are wondering what i have been up to, i am going to do my best to update this site in the coming weeks and months. i have a vision right now of expanding the content of the site to also include local events that may be going on in the Connecticut area (mosty Hartford area). in addition i want to let you know what i am up to and update the site with more music and goodies for you to enjoy.

but right now the big news for me is that i will be returning to the WHUS airwaves after taking some time off and starting a new position at work. i have a new vision with the kind of radio show i want to do as well and it will a bit of a departure from the shows i have done for the past 4 years or so, namely TAKE!down radio and Kris and Snacky’s Untitled Punk Rock Show. i have had a great time doing these shows, don’t get me wrong, but like i said, i feels it’s time to do something a bit different. here is a short blurb describing my new show:

Every week DJ Radio Rocks!!! will dig through his record collection to bring the best (or worst) in 80’s and New Wave. And yes, we are talking records here, not CDs, MP3s but vinyl records. With a collection that spans mostly one decade (the 80’s) you are sure to hear B sides, 12″ mixes, Dub versions and whatever else can be mustered up in addition to those traditional album versions you may be accustomed to. Also mixed into ever setlist of Stand Up And Dance will be new Indie and Electronic music with a decisively retro feel. We will take a look at new music that has it’s roots deeply set in the New Wave & Post-Punk era of the past. So tune in every week and make sure you have plenty of room to Stand Up And Dance. Synthesizers and bad haircuts welcome.

so tune in every Friday afternoon from 4-5pm to check it out. you can listen at 91.7FM if you are local to the UConn/Storrs/Hartford area or stream online at WHUS.org. either way, i know i will be having a great time and i hope you will join me.

It’s been a great ride, but unfortunately like all good things, Kris and Snacky’s Untitled Punk Rock Show must come to an end……at least for now. After a lot of deliberation and going back and fourth, we have decided to take a little bit of a break and the Untitled Punk Rock Show will not be returning for the next schedule round at WHUS. We are not saying good bye for ever necessarily, just a see you later for right now. I can’t really speak for Snacky, but I’m sure he will echo my sentiments, that I have enjoyed being part of this show, and will miss it for sure! Thank you for listening and putting up with our crazy shennigans week after week. Make sure to stay tuned though, you never know when we will be back!!!!!
