Tune in for a visit with Angela Jaeger who will discuss her new book I Feel Famous. Here she recounts her years growing up in NYC as an inhabitant of 77-81 nascent punk culture, canoodling with its various in habitants and scene-makers, before her Anglophilia pulled her into the middle of London’s scene as well. Her diaries recount a wide-eyed, humorously sweet account of her pure fandom spilling into the post-punk era (where her sister Hilary booked the auspicious Tier 3 NYC venue), eventually leading Jaeger into performing and recording with the likes of Pigbag, The Monochrome Set, and David Cunningham. Tune in for some surely interesting first-hand remembrances on Brian Turner’s show, Wednesday, January 8th 4-6pm ET.

Friday December 20, 4-6 PM, Neonlichter invites Toronto polymath Tony Price to highlight his upcoming LP Requiem For The Ontario Science Centre, to be released soon on his label Maximum Exposure Inc. His critically acclaimed works have a singular soundvision, through his production work and artistry through the 2010s Canadian 'indie scene' (your definition may vary) through his grittier danceable digital funk and blown out house landscapes on Telephone Explosion, Burger, and LIES that form effective memory portals. Requiem is an ambient jazz tribute to a landmark of childhood discovery and brutalist architecture that both host and guest have formative memories of, with contributions by local sax legend Colin Fisher and nods to the warmth and variously-aged library and industrial musics of the late 70s and early 80s.
