On tonight’s “Static” program (Thursday 21st September) …

Last year we celebrated 30 years of our show by playing our favourite songs from the past three decades … so this year, we’re going back Before “Static”!

This week, co-host Berko has selected two hours of key songs released before 1992 – some that shaped him at the time, and others that have meant the most to him in the years since.

He’s picked some personal faves from The Go-Betweens, Tangerine Dream, Donna Summer, Silver Apples and more …
