  2. https://soundcloud.com/lou-berkman/midday-mixtape-january-21-2020-peter-loughner-1 Now on easy to use Sound Cloud. Rosie is still around, but she hasn't posted here since she left for college over a decade ago. This show is on Soundcloud and easy to access and listen to.
  3. A show VCers might enjoy. If you are feeling “Misunderstood” the Midday Mixtape is paying tribute to legendary Cleveland, Ohio rock musician Peter Laughner. Joining the show with DJ LouieB this Tuesday, January 21, 2020 from 12-2 CT on 89.3 FM, wnur.org, or TuneIn will be John Martin (cohost of Classical and Beyond) for an overview of the life and music of Laughner from his years in the bands Pere Ubu and Rocket from the Tombs, but mostly his solo recordings from clubs and informal sessions, some done at home.

  4. No blues, no ballads, no strumming guitars this week on The Midday Mixtape Show this Tuesday May 29, 2018 at 12-2 PM CT on www.wnur.org and Tunein and 89.3 FM. This week's show will not he for everyone, but if you skip it you will miss two hours of experimental, improvisational, and non-traditional music. Most of the time the show features a small amount of this type of music, but this week is two hours of mostly instrumental music including new music from Mind over Mirrors (from Chicago), modern classical composers Steve Reich, Karl-Heinz Stockhausen, Michael Pisaro, Anthony Braxton, John Zo
  5. Where else can you hear radio pandering to Wilco fans. Check out this week's show.

Just enough of different kinds of music to keep young and old tuned in for lunch and beyond. See you then.
