Radio Free GAK Episode January 18, 2010

Exploding Head Movies: the Premiere - "RIP RFG" (2010 January 18)

7:30am - 9:02am

After two years, Radio Free GAK is no more. But its spirit arises like a phoenix with a new show name. Soundtrack profile: Howard Shore's score to Cronenberg's Videodrome. I've been overdue for a new show name for a while, due to a combination of weaker choices, having to explain what a "gak" was (I remain exhibits A-Z) and then dealing with other "Radio Free" shows on the air. Exploding Head Movies has been kicking around in my mixed tape land for aeons, so reclaiming that name felt natural. Otherwise, this would be episode #99.

Maybe the podcast link will remain the same, but I'll advise accordingly via my website if not. Or swing by your computers again.
