UPDATE: The show this week is postponed to next week due to unforeseen circumstances. Do tune in next Thursday, 29 September, at 6pm EDT.

Thursday’s show @ 8pm highlights Throwing Muses’ ‘86 LP Throwing Muses, originally untitled & was 4AD’s first US release, from the ‘98 compilation In A Doghouse. It’s a 2-CD collection that includes the original demos, sadly out of print but might see a rerelease soon. Don’t confuse this album with the very different 2003 record, also self-titled.

Dear friends, in the 6 and 7 o’clock hours I’ll play new music from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Beths, Matt Bohannon, Maggie Rose, a live song from Courtney Barnett, and other tasty aural treats.

Tune in to WAWL.org at 6pm EDT and look here at PapaJojoRadio.com for the track list. Requests are welcome at +1.423.697.4406 and at @papajojoradio on Twitter.
