Radio Base Camp plays music from the early 60's to mid-70's and beyond.... from the deep, unpolished gems, rarities, demos, alternative takes to those well-known songs we can't get out of our heads all these years later. The recuperative powers of rock 'n roll and beyond!

PLUS: some great new bands/new music.  Here is the playlist from June 18, 2010.

Note on 2010 World Cup:  Who was that Ref that took away the USA goal vs. Slovenia??  We was robbed!  OK, carry-on.

• RADIO BASE CAMP focuses on the newest indie rock, 60s beat-punk,psych, garage-fuzz, surf, 70s punk, 60s greasy soul & r'n'b shakers, 50s R&R, exotica, afrobeat, jamaican ska/rocksteady and beyond We play deep tracks and unpolished gems, songs you may remember and ones you might not have heard, along with demos, rarities, alternative takes and all kinds of great music that doesn't get played that often.  We also feature new music by current bands, many of whom are influenced by the 60's (and beyond). We do live and telephone interviews with musicians, producers, and chroniclers of an era spanning from the 1950's to present day. We aim to highlight and focus on music with great song writing, sounds and production, having a lot of fun in the process...

• a little history....RADIO BASE CAMP is a radio show that I started in 2007 on live365.com internet radio.  It became a weekly WPKN  "overnight" show from Sunday into Monday for two years before moving to Friday afternoons  in September 2009 with my part-time co-host, Eric Cocks.  In early 2010,  I decided to focus on my own programming and me and Eric reconfigured our weekly radio show into two seperate and distinct shows: Radio Base Camp with hosted Steve di Costanzo and Connections ...With Eric Cocks. 
  

 Radio Base Camp and radio Base Camp-Late Night is hosted by Steve di Costanzo
