Crap From the Past - Trivia - American Top 40

I found a link to a site called "Crap From The Past" (http://www.crapfromthepast.com/ ) which is hosted by Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber on community radio in Minnesota. Ron finds very odd music primarly from the 80s and plays it on his weekly show. He tells the trivia surronding the songs. For example, Sheena Easton recorded a spanish language song of: EL PRIMER TREN (MORNING TRAIN in Spanish)in 1980.

He archives his show to archive.org. I highly recommend downloads of his show for music trivia buffs. Particularly those who used to listen to Casey Kasem's American Top 40 religiously (as I had done).
