A disco-kid and 80s music nerd here to help you embrace your secret love for 70s and 80s dance music. Each week, I share the stories of artists you know and those you think you don’t. Fair warning: a dose of sarcasm, puns, and dry humor is inevitable!

Does what it says: explaining the history of dance music one 12" at a time.

Over The Air

By Chip Kelley

I'm just an old radio and TV nerd...I used to love hearing and recording radio stations around the country, looking at radio and TV logos and coverage maps, and, at one point, ran one of the most popular online radio and TV directories back in the day.

If you're an aircheck nerd like I am - especially if you're a Sean Ross fan (IYKYK) - you'll love this newsletter, with audio for every post!
