Monday’s Radio Free Lunch will celebrate the Chinese New Year. I’ll play all songs associated with China, walls, dragons, pandas or anything that mentions red, etc etc. Also on deck something from John Entwistle from the Who–who’s also known as “The Ox” (really!). Special thanks to Kim and Kevin from @Nails and Spa who came up with the idea! I just found this link to see your Chinese horoscope. Pretty interesting and accurate!!!
Update: Today’s Playlist
China Girl, David Bowie

Knock Me Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers

Hey Mara, just going for the obvious here, Little China Girl by Bowie.
A little less obvious, Fortress Around Your Heart by Sting… fortress, wall… yeah?
And something cheesy, how about the Red Rocker Sammy Hagar, I can’t drive 55.
