Poptopia Parkway: His 'N' Hers shows

I finished the Brazil 3-part mini-series last week, and have already devised another fun concept, "His 'N' Hers". We're going to bring it the next 2 Friday nights, 07/03 and 07/10, 8:30-10:30 pm, on Poptopia Parkway [2], sandwiched between the global fusion of Passport [3] and exotic electronica of The Tunnel [4].

I am fond of power pop and my wife enjoys alternative/indie rock, and we know of (and are respectively big fans of) two bands who share a special bond combining a number of common friendships and interests - Cheap Trick (His) and Smashing Pumpkins (Hers).

This Friday night, 07/03, to commemorate Cheap Trick's 35th anniversary (1974) + "the latest" record, I'll put on a show dedicated to their music. Next Friday night, 07/10, to mark the 21st anniversary of Smashing Pumpkins' 1st live gig (07/09/88), my wife will come in and help me spin some of their best tracks.

We'll try to have enough tunes on hand so you can call in a request at 425-303-9076 or email lon@kser.org [5]. And if you do, because of the "Tell A Friend" campaign, we'd really appreciate that you support our station by picking up some swag [6] for a donation. You'll be able to order items for friends and family at a small savings too.

See ya on the airwaves, --Lon (Pop Pkwy)
