Chag's Nameless Twitter Radio Show Anniversary

Last week marked the 52nd episode of Chag's Nameless Twitter Radio Show. It started off with me jerking around on Twitter, pretending I was a DJ during K-BILLY's Super Sounds of the Eighties Weekend. I played songs on Twitter for about an hour and even took two requests during that time. Curious about the song that started it all? Brand New Lover by Dead Or Alive.

I had no idea when I started messing around that night that it would evolve into what it has. You have no idea how much I enjoy doing this weekly show and would like to thank everyone who listens to the show and sends in requests.
