For this week's Prog-Watch I have put together a different kind of program. A death in my family and the need to travel to the funeral left me with no time to put together a proper show, and I didn't want to go with another From the Archives episode. As a compromise, I decided to put together a kind of stream-of-consciousness program full of random stuff from the 1980s. After a brief preamble you will not hear me and my usual patter, just lots of cool tunes. Thanks for your understanding, and I hope you enjoy Whatnot from the 1980s!   Here's the playlist: 1129 Playlist
