RadioCPRAn unusual show began with the only band named after a “Tom Terrific” villain, and lurched eventually into a little Jonathan Richman set, an unplanned concentration of Del Shannon, some Beatles and Ramones in response, all of side three of “Electric Ladyland,” some live Velvet Underground from the 90s, a spot of Keith Richards for no particular reason and ended with some Van Morrison.

Here’s what I played on the radio tonight:
