SouthBound Radio Hour: Vol. 1

New wave band The B-52s formed in Athens, Georgia, around the time of John T. Edge and Tommy Tomlinson's UGA days.

Last week's guest on SouthBound, John T. Edge, went to the University of Georgia in the early '80s. So did I. Here's some music that was floating around Athens back then -- from local bands and from around the South.

We'll do new playlists on off weeks betweenSouthBound episodes, which you can subscribe to on iTunesStitcher and NPR One.
