I love an archive and one dedicated to the woman described as the "American John Peel" is definitely something I want to listen to. đź“» https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/bent-by-nature

Bent by Nature

She was the most influential American DJ you’ve never heard of. Deirdre O’Donoghue was a vital force in the musical underground of the 1980s. Countless artists crammed into her studio to perform live on her late-night show, “SNAP!” on KCRW.

@RobertaFidora 32 years ago, I listened to Deirdre’s show every week. Music was beginning to come to life again (following a blah-period in the mid eighties) and Deirdre O’Donoghue had her finger on its pulse with Snap.
What a delight that KCRW is sharing this treasure!

@beaudaignault It's a spectacular list of names on there. This is the first I'm learning of SNAP and I love how everything's been gathered together in such a visual way. Enjoyed the Henry Rollins interview in The Creative Independent too, so keen to delve into his contribution as part of the documentary podcast about Deirdre. đź“»
