WRIR 97.3FM Richmond

It's 4/20 and we're digging into music about marijuana — whether you call it ganja, weed, cannabis, tea, pot, viper, jive, Mary Jane or something else!

Rebroadcast with bonus extra hour of music I couldn't fit in the original show.

On this week's episode of Cause and Effect, we'll be exploring the energy and campiness that is the music of Dance Dance Revolution. I hope you got a good mat underneath your feet cause we'll be listening to over 50 tracks guaranteed to get your blood pumpin' and your ears feelin' good!

Come with us on this Deep Dive Into the Essential Element of House.

The Styles, The Producers, The Sound!

Cause and Effect with DreaMonique highlighting Mary J Blige

This Saturday, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., LJ will be hosting Cause & Effect on WRIR 97.3FM Richmond Community Radio!

His subject for the show will be Frank Tovey, i.e. 𝗙𝗮𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁. Fad Gadget was the first artist signed to Mute Records and has been cited as a major influence for artists like Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy and Liars.

For the past few months LJ has been collecting and poring over all of his albums as Fad Gadget, Mkultra, under his own name, and as Frank Tovey & the Pyros. He has listened to a myriad amount of covers of his songs and to his side projects and soundscape work. And, he is distilling this all down to a two hour show to give a survey of the career and recorded output of Frank Tovey!

If you're not familiar with Frank Tovey, but like early Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Soft Cell, The Human League, Depeche Mode or Heaven 17, this show might be of interest to you!
