This week on Transmission, I host a New Wave dance party. New Wave — it's a broad term, for sure; it could be punk, it could be post-punk, art rock. It could be powerpop, synthpop, darkwave, gothic rock, the list goes on. One thing that all of these subgenres have in common, though, is that they can make you move. And that's exactly what's going to happen — hopefully! — this Thursday on Transmission.
