Donate  The thieves at Sound Exchange are now taking a lot of money from us even though most of the artists/groups we play are three sheets to the wind or deceased, and will never receive the money we pay to help them.  Hence, this Donate button (though it says Paypal, credit card payments are fine.  After clicking, just scroll down a little to see the CC option).
Thank you

Lee Michael Demsey & the DC Dynamos

The Time Machine
8-11P (check calendar for different hosts)

The Time Machine is hard to define. As the name tells you, we take you forward and backward in time, but that's just part of the equation. With ten differt hosts, everyone has a different approach, but we're all trying to do the same thing, keep you entertained with the best tunes we can find, usually the more obscure the better. However,  we try to mix in some songs you might know, but haven't grown tired of. Based out of suburban Washington, the DC Dynamos aim to please, and we like to think we hit the bulls-eye more often that not.

Richard Sibello

The Richard Sibello Music Bordello
8-11P

This is where the greatest records of all time reside, ALL the time, and we invite you to set a spell, relax and join in every Tuesday from 5 to 8 PM. Notice I didn't say the greatest HITS - it didn't have to be a hit to be great, just like it didn't have to be great to be a hit! Host Richard Sibello plays everything, from the sublime to the ridiculous, from his collection of over 25,000 records. He also tells the untold stories of rock and roll (are there any LEFT??) and segues semi-smoothly from genre to genre, as long as it's from the 50s, 60s and early 70s. Plus the last Tuesday of every month is a CLASSIC SOUL BLOWOUT, featuring nothing but the greatest in classic soul and

Dave The Rave

Relics and Rarities
 9-12M

Dave has a music library of over 500,000 songs including 100,000 plus original 45's, many rare that sound great and leave you wondering how they never became hits. Relics & Rarities on Topshelf Oldies is the most fun for Dave because he has total freedom to play whatever sounds good with no restrictions.  Combining the many lost 45 gems with cool hits has been the formula for Relics & Rarities since February 1996 when this show first aired on WPDQ. Relics & Rarities also played to a national audience on XM, and is currently heard in several markets through syndication.
