Besides the dj gigs Andy Rourke does from time to time with his Jetlag project, and working with Peter Hook in Freebass, The Smiths' ex-bass player hosts a weekly two hour radio program on East Village Radio on Mondays. Rourke plays mostly old school music and personal favorites, and you never know what he might play--it's kind of an eclectic mix.

He kicked off the most recent show with "Death Of A Disco Dancer" by The Smiths and played Primal Scream, Kraftwerk, Iggy Pop, Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, The Temptations, Donna Summer, Magazine, Sex Pistols, and even Morrissey. As an aside, I hope he's not typing up his own playlist--kind of a major faux pas to spell your old bandmate's name wrong regardless of whether you're on speaking terms or not.


At any rate, visit the EVR page to access archives from Rourke's show dating back a couple of years or just start with the most current show here.
