2 March 2019 (Lennon’s 11th Birthday Set)

March 1, 2008 my oldest son Lennon was born. He first came to the sub-basement studio at KPSU as an infant and read his first legal ID on the air at 4 years old. Now, 7 years later, he got to celebrate his new tweeness at a new station and be this week’s lead dj for What’s This Called? He rocked it.

About Ricardo Wang

I began doing Public/Community/College radio at KUGS FM in Bellingham, WA in 1985 and was there until 1987. I spent 10 years at KAOS FM in Olympia, WA from 1993-2003 including a one year stint as Music Director. During that entire time, I did the What's This Called? program, at times for as long as 6 hours in a single night! The show ran at KPSU in Portland, from 2005 to 2018. I've been happily at Freeform Portland since October of 2018 and loving every second at this exciting freeform station! I started the Olympia Experimental Music Festival in 1995 and have been playing music off and on in the Dead Air Fresheners since 1997.

  1. Man! Lennon is 11! I am so OLD! This playlist is fantastic, but you forgot a Spinal Tap song! (as in “this one goes to 11”). May I suggest “(Listen to) The Flower People” for your next show. Keepa Rockin’!
