Hello!

In addition to all the new music we've been spinning, several FMU programs recently paid tribute to Franco Battiato, one of Italy’s greatest singer-songwriters and composers, who sadly recently passed away. His music varied from pop, to electronic music, soft rock, experimental music, and even opera. Check out these archives to hear a survey of his music: Polyglot with Jesse DorisSpin Age Blasters with Creamo CoylScott WilliamsBodega Pop with Gary Sullivan, and Strength Through Failure with Fabio.
