Catch SIT80s live on radio today

Flee If you're in the Tampa Bay area, tune to WMNF 88.5-FM today from 4 to 6 p.m., when I'll be joining my good friend Flee during his weekly radio show, "Sonic Detour."

We'll be spinning tunes from the bands playing Saturday's Regeneration Tour stop in Clearwater at Ruth Eckerd Hall. And Flee will be giving away a pair of free tickets to the first person who can answer a fiendishly clever trivia question I've cooked up.

I also have a few other treats in the works, including clips from interviews with Martin Fry and Pete Byrne to play. Plus, expect a few songs you've probably never heard on the radio before: the acoustic version of "Always Something There to Remind Me" and the new ABC single "The Very First Time" off the just-released album "Traffic."

If you're outside Tampa Bay, no fear -- WMNF streams its show live on the Internet. Here's a link to download today's show. In the meantime, I'm happy to take requests on which songs to play today from ABC, The Romantics, Missing Persons, A Flock of Seagulls and Naked Eyes.
