DJ Compilation Of The Month: Obey The New Wave
This month's DJ comp harkens all the way back to 2001 (and 21 years further back from there), from the late great program Rhubarb Cake. Here is Douglas' marathon premium from that year, titled Obey The New Wave - 1980 and all that-- UK DIY, etc. Here's how Douglas described it at the time: 23 blurts of intense, delicious, mysterious and staggeringly unusual UK DIY and art-post-punk, circa 1980. Grab this comp quick - these tracks will be up for one week only.

Anyone else notice the similarity between Gerry & The Holograms and the later released Blue Monday by New Order?

Hi, I missed this, and it's too bad the tracks are up only one week. Why? This assumes that people aren't discovering WFMU every day, like I did just today--and it kills me to have missed these tracks because this is just the kind of music I have been searching out, and I know I won't find it anywhere else. Is there a mirror elsewhere for these tracks? Thank you. J in LA
