Poptopia Pkwy's Brazil mini-series #1

Hello~

It's my first blog post in ages. I've been on for a few weeks and have heard from a few of you following me from my old time slot. Thanks for the encouragement!

This week I'm going to start my "Poptopia Parkway & Brasil '09" mini-series, featuring Portuguese pop and rock music I acquired from my recent 3-month trip to Brazil. I'm hoping there are at least a few unique artists and tracks you haven't heard anywhere else!

6/12 will be jovem guarda (50s-60s oldies - imagine Passport or Floating World crossed with Danny Holiday's history o' rock on Sunday's Rock & Roll Time Machine and a hint of Jerry's 60s rarities on Wednesday's From Here To Obscurity).

Then 6/19 will be tropicalia, and 6/26 will be 80s-00s pop. All this should make a fun segueway from Leilani's fab world music program Passport, Fri. 7:00p-8:30p.

And after my show stick around for a trip thru one of two sides of The Tunnel brought to you by Maire or Rob, Fri. 10:30p-12:30a+.

See ya on the airwaves, --Lon
