PJ Finn
Martha's Vineyard, MA
I'm the Program and Music Director of mvyradio, a broadcast and internet station on the Island of Martha's Vineyard. You can hear it here.

I've been in radio since the early 90s, programming shows. As Music Director, I receive dozens of CDs and songs every week, from Record Labels, Promotion People and Independent Artists. I try to listen to everything anyone asks me to.

So the old iTunes list is pretty long.

The idea of this blog is to go to that list, grab one (usually at random, but not always) and write about it. Every song has a story. How it fits into the artists oeuvre. What it meant to me when I first heard it.

I'll try to post the song in full, whenever possible, and I invite you to listen and tell me what it makes you think of.

And for more great music, you can stream mvyradio from anywhere in the world, here.
