Brainwaves – June 14, 2022 – The kids are taking over
Written by Brian Blum on 14/06/2022
Brainwaves is ruled by kids this week. A long set of “children’s” music (that’s not just for kids) from David Bowie, the Counting Crows, R.E.M., Supertramp, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, Nick Gilder, the Kinks and of course Butterfly Child. Plus, Radiohead shows us some fake plastic trees, which makes a great segue to Plastic Bertrand giving us some 70s Belgian punk. Tune in and enjoy – it’s eclectic, it’s alternative, it’s just great music!
