Left of the Dial Radio Playlist - 3/25/11 (For Mitch)
I hosted my radio show last night on WNHU in West Haven in honor of Mitchell Dubey, who was tragically killed on Thursday night in his house in New Haven. Among many other things, was a vital member of the Connecticut underground music scene and an incredible person overall. If you would like to voice your thoughts about how Mitch affected you personally, or if you just want to find some closure in the midst of this terrible event, head over to Mitch’s facebook page HERE, which has become something of a memorial celebrating his life, and a virtual place for friends and family members to gather.
Although I have personally said a lot about Mitch and the ways in which he affected my life, I don’t think that words could ever really express what this man meant to so many people. For that reason, I played the following songs last night, interspersed with stories and commentary on Mitch’s life and the legacy that he has left behind, which will no doubt remain as Connecticut and the rest of the world begins to recover from this tragedy.
