"I'm in love with modern moonlight
128 when it's dark outside
I'm in love with Massachusetts
I'm in love with the radio on"

 *The music featured was created by friends and family during the fertile years of 1975 - 1985. When  curating the selections, all I had to do was close my eyes and remember that period in my hometown: WTBS/WMBR, Late Risers Club/Friday Night Live/TVOD, WBCN, The Rat, Spit, The Paradise, driving past the Stop 'n' Shop when it's dark outside like a Roadrunner. 

Many of these artists went on to stardom, others got "real" jobs and some have left us - 

all were integral to the beat of the city then and now!

Enjoy a snapshot of one of the most amazing scenes in any city at any point in time.

These bands were music - I was radio - some things never change.

Turn this up wicked loud - Fuck Beantown - This is Boston!
