Songs from the Big Hair airs every Saturday from 3 PM to 5 PM on WRIR. If you're like a lot of us here at WRIR, you have a soft spot for at least some of the music from the 1980s. Whether it's new wave, punk rock, neopsychedelia, metal, funk, or good ole college radio rock, you'll likely hear it on this show. Hosted by a rotating cast of WRIR DJs, each episode has a slightly different flavor. And that keeps it interesting!
Hey Listeners,
It's gonna be like totally bitchin'. Like we'll start out with a few faves from the 80's. From there we'll like play some anti-Reagan, check out the IRS stable of artists, play Ishmael Beah's playlist from his old cassette that he carried to the US, then finish off with a little Repo Man. Gnarly - or whatever the hell we said 30 years ago.
