WFMU: Optical Sound with Mike Sin: Playlist from July 22, 2017

Upcoming events:

Sat. Nov 30th, 11am - 1pm: Mike Sin fills in for Michael Shelley

Thu. Jan 2nd, 2025, 9pm - Midnight: Mike Sin fills in for Dave the Spazz

July 22, 2017: Filling in for Michael Shelley... For every #1 hit, there's a #1 interview… part 2!

Every track played today has a corresponding interview conducted by Michael Shelley with the artist, band members, or associates! They can all be accessed through his archives right HERE!
I assembled a show similar to this current broadcast back in April 2013, and that archive is right HERE! Because of the positive responses to that show and the wealth of insightful interviews that Michael Shelley continually conducts, I figured it was time for a part 2!
