TV on the MetaRadio (take 2)
Coming up on the hour (7PM Pacific, 10PM Eastern, 3AM London, Noon Tokyo)
An hour-and-a-half of TV theme songs, all longer than the versions they do on the TV, most better than Mike Post (but there will be some Mike Post), followed by highlights from the new album of a certain musical MeFiMod (as much as the rules allow), mixed with other cool MeFi Music, including some NOT dowloaded from MeFi Music.

because all radio began on the radio, we begin with a theme from radio and tv...

Always amazed at some of the more obscure things you have.

It's the discovery of some truly obscure goodies that inspire me, like the whole TV Themes set was working backward from the Andy Griffith...

Of course, this set of all MeFite Music (including a couple that were never posted on MeFiMusic) is 100% OBSCURE!!!
