0108 XLR8 ID into new tune
0110 signal dipped a bit, new song, "Park Bench Smile" Steve Gunn
0113 Led Zep song but not Led Zep. Signal up, it's "The Rover" and that sounds like Van Halen playing it.
0119 Still Van Halen, different song, sounds like a live bootleg as did the previous track

0214 another song, currently conditions are very mucky.
0218 XLR8 ID into SSTV (wasn't ready for it) and one last XLR8 ID at 0222
0222 OFF

Thanks for the show!

If we're having early 80's punk, may I suggest a nice Labor Day themed song, "Working Men Are Pissed" by the Minutemen?

Second request, how about Minutemen's cover of "Ain't Talkin Bout Love" please?

Third request, can we please hear Negative Approach "Live Your Life" ?

 Sounding good XLR8!
Thanks

Got my aerial out of the bushes today. Good as new . Wind speed hit 50+ which isn't considered bad my qth . I've got it so it will let go at certain pressures since this happens a lot. Like a fuse. But this time it actually wrapped around some bayberry trees in two places(?)
