If you’re a big fan of WUOG or college radio station swag, may I direct you HERE to the Friends of GA Radio. There’s some great history here that includes old logos, a few Did You Know? type things and a bunch of radio whatnot.
It’s been too long on this here blog without a mention of Pylon so here’s an interview Vanessa and Jason NeSmith did about Gyrate!
