On July 15th I had an honor to be a guest DJ on one of the most popular radio shows in Cleveland’s recent history Dare Waves on WRUW with host Neal. This was a special episode where we celebrated birthday of Sargent Signals – late night WRUW DJ. And finally, Reverend Comrade X was also there. Three of us picked acid rock tunes from around the world while Neal ran the board. Check out three glorious hours of technicolor programming.
Quarter century ago 91.1 KLSU FM in Baton Rouge allowed me to impose my musical taste to the local audience every Saturday morning. A few months ago I got in touch with one of the KLSU Saturday DJs, Mike the Distortionist who has a cool radio show called The Fuzz on the current KLSU schedule. Thanks to him, I got to be back on the same frequency. We collaborated on a 60s garage rock playlist from non-western countries, shared our love for Minutemen and Dead Milkmen, talked about my time at LSU and how and why I support XCSB.
XCSB will occasionally post filler shows when other DJs don’t show up. My Krautrock and my mix of Macedonian Dark Wave from the late 80s aired so far. You can hear them here and here. And playlists are below.

This episode, The Little Lighthouse is a love letter to the city where I live now. Cleveland. For those who are out of town, Cleveland is currently leading a tough battle to save their beloved college radio station WCSB from the jaws of public media conglomerate Ideastream who colluded with Cleveland State University in a police action after which students were denied access to programming and their vast physical and digital library/archive. For my listeners outside of Cleveland, please hear in this episode true sounds of Cleveland. Among the music from the past, I also included fresh releases from the local bands. The quality of the stuff these people had put out is astonishing. These bands are all doing it DIY without publicists. Please help them out. Spread the word of this hostile takeover in your town. Preserve your local radio, support your local musicians. Be vibrant and not a stale repeater. Folks I bring you fresh, strong and defiant Cleveland from 2025: Forming Division, Non-Bruises, Red Devil Ryders, Stereo Burlesque, Xanny Stars, Lavender Jets, Suitor and Bill Fox. And some great stuff from the past.
