Juxtaposition

I’ve waited 19 years to spin the set I’ve planned for tonight’s edition of “Juxtaposition,” as I fill in for the honeymooner, Rob Levy. All wave. All vinyl.

Pulled the set together last night. Records from: Zot, Vitamin Z, ABC, Arcadia, Housemartins, the Church, the Producers, Rain Parade, Let’s Active, among many others.

Juxtaposition, tonight, 8-10 p.m., 88.1 fm, www.kdhx.org.
