Tom Tom Club with Rita Houston

Kick off your New Year's Eve with a Guest DJ set (and a lot of great stories) from Tom Tom Club, Monday night at 9pm on Words & Music.

Tom Tom Club returns with some new songs, some new rhythms and some great stories in this exclusive, wide ranging interview and Guest DJ session at WFUV. Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth joined me on The Whole Wide World to premiere songs from the new EP, Downtown Rockers. The title track then set the tone for their inspired DJ picks as all the artists are name-checked in the song, and folded into our conversation.

Song List:

  • Tom Tom Club, "Downtown Rockers"
  • The Velvet Underground, "We're Gonna Have A Real Good Time Together"
  • The Modern Lovers, "Roadrunner"
  • Patti Smith, "Gloria"
  • The Ramones, "Sheena is a Punk Rocker"
  • Television, "Friction"
  • Blondie, "The Tide is High"
  • The B-52's, "52 Girls"
  • Tom Tom Club, "Kissin' Antonio"
