THE HOP

this blog will be used to maintain a record of the tracks played on the radio show, THE HOP - 7-9pm est every wednesday night on WCBN fm ann arbor 88.3, to the left - along with personal digging stories, record information, and updates on my northern soul status. if you don't live in the ann arbor area and would nevertheless like to listen to the show, it can be streamed by going to the station's website and clicking on the 'listen live' option. there is also way to listen to THE HOP thru the station's archive, but i'll need to look into this, so a link should be forthcoming.

if i start "playing out," then info for such events will be posted here as well.

STOP PLAYING THE WALL - EVERYBODY DO THE HOP!!! IT'S CLASSY SHIT!
