Note: The deadline for submission is September 11th, 2009.

I am planning my first year anniversary episode of Doug Lynner’s World of Noise radio show and I need the help of bands, composers and performers whose music is influenced by ’80s synthpop music. I’m planning a radio show of recent music (last few years) influenced by ’80s synthpop. I will be accepting music only from the composers and/or performers of the songs.

If you are a fan of a song or group that you think would be perfect for my show, please let the composer or performer know about my show so they can contact me.

What I need for the show are the songs (MP3 files, 192 bit rate or higher), your explanation of how the music is influenced by ’80s synthpop, a brief bio and your contact information.

If you would like your music featured on Doug Lynner’s World of Noise, send inquiries, your song files and information to worldofnoise@flashbackalternatives.com . The show is preproduced and airs on October 8, 2009 so don’t wait too long before responding.

Doug Lynner’s World of Noise airs on Flashback Alternatives, an Internet radio station, on the second Thursday of every month at 6 & 9pm PDT and on the following Sunday at 6am PDT.

Doug is a founding member of the ’70s and ’80s synthpop bands Invisible Zoo, Moebius and LEM and was the publisher and editor of the electronic music/synthesizer magazine, Synapse.

I’m doing some research for a future Doug Lynner’s World of Noise Radio Show and I need your help.

What I would like to know is what song/group introduced you to the synthpop genre and any backrgound you would like to share about your introduction.

As an example, for my wife it was Video Killed The Radio Star/The Buggles. She heard it on MTV.

What about you? I’d love to know.
