It's the return of PROG ROCK NIGHTMARE, a (kind of) quarterly celebration of the progressive rock of the '70s and beyond.
Things to watch for: The "Nightmare Moment" at 1 a.m., when we'll play something truly awful from the old days. And the "Long-Form Suite" starting at 1:30, when we'll trot out one of those great 20+ minute songs of yore. And as always, I'll insert one track that's actually in rotation at KZSU!!
