Don't forget, AA80's will be "Spandexing The Globe" on Saturday from 8 to 10 PM eastern with a Sunday repeat from 2 to 4 PM eastern. It's a hard rock and metal feast consisting of tunes you don't typically hear for the most part; 90's and beyond bands who had that 80's spirit are given some love too. Our indie selection this time around will be from a CCM band whose CD was quite valuable the last time I looked.
