This week's show is our yearly Operator's Choice special, in which I get totally self-indulgent by playing some of my recent favorites or songs I really like. The first block was a mix of industrial, darkwave, and post-punk. The second block was mostly post-punk tracks taken from a mix of songs I made for listening to on a sunny winter's day. The third block was mostly punk and hardcore songs. Then we ended the show with some synthpop (and synthpop-adjancent) songs.
