On this day in 1996, the “Trainspotting” soundtrack was released.

Look at the artist line-up, and you’ll see why it was one of the best soundtracks of the ‘90s.

(The movie’s great too)

Starting live now at twitch.tv/djjakerudh, it’s a special Thursday night ‘Pontoon Rock’ program featuring 5+ hours of ‘70s & ‘80s soft rock, mellow r & b and smooth disco music videos and pop culture of the era.

Live on The Current at 10pm central - the best of 1982. 💥

If you've been tuning in to Transmission lately, you might have noticed that we've been climbing up through the years in the past few shows, and this week's program is no different. We're now in 1982. MTV had been on the air for a little less than a year, but its impact was already very much being felt with a huge wave of UK bands being represented, the same way they'll be represented on Thursday's show.

Join Jake Rudh on Transmission, Thursday at 10 p.m CDT on The Current. thecurrent.org/listen

Happy 62nd birthday to Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays.

There’s one band I’d travel GREAT distances for if there were ever to be a reunion.

Happy 59th birthday to Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star.

I’m so glad I had a chance to work with Hope and David Roback during their last Minneaplis performance before he passed away. His work with Mazzy Star, Rain Parade and Opal is truly underrated.
