Program June 15, 2016

It's been the spring of reggae music here at WRIR -- we've received so many good reggae releases that I've barely had enough time to listen to all of them, never mind play them on the radio.  So I'm going to dedicate a full hour to them on this week's show.

You'll hear a whole set of 1970's vintage reissues from the labels owned by VP Records (that's their headquarters and flagship store pictured above; look closely and you'll see that they're on Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, seriously).  Plus I'll spin brand-new discs by Quantic's Flowering Inferno, Soothsayers, The Lickshots and more.

Also this week: Rei and Marlysse's Turkish sound, and Balkan metal: brass and guitars.
