This was our yearly Operator's Choice Special, in which I got self-indulgent and just played whatever I felt like. The tracks in this show are some of my current or recent favorites. The first block was a set of darkwave and EBM, plus we debuted a new track by Lunar Paths. The second block was a set of some of my current favorite post-punk tracks. We broke our format in the third block and played some of my current and recent favorite punk tracks. The fourth block was a set of synthpop and synthwave. The fifth block was a set of shoegaze-y tracks, then we ended the show with a couple of soothing ambient tracks.
