Brought to you by DJ Ben, "The ME Generation" is a weekly radio show on 1190am. The show focuses on New Wave and Post Punk music from the 1980's. Each show features a certain artist from the period, usually a one-hit wonder. They are explored in-depth and hopefully shown in a new light. At the end of every show, there is a segment called "The ME Generation 2000" where we play songs from 80's artists that they've released in the new millennium. It's surprising how many are still recording and how high the quality of the music is. If you have a suggestion for an artist to be featured, please leave a comment.
"The ME Generation" was created for radio by DJ Ben. Originally, "The ME Generation" was the name of a best-of-the-80's compilation CD set that he created. Each volume of the collection was thoroughly researched and compiled and each featured one artist alongside other songs from the 80's. The CD set was adapted into a radio show, and each show has a corresponding volume of the CD set. For example, the first three shows: Charlie Sexton was featured on Volume 61, Kim Wilde was featured on Volume 9, and A-ha were featured on Volume 42.
The name "The ME Generation" comes from the phrase used to describe the materialism of the generation who came of age during the cold-war panicked, reaganomic 80's. The name should not be confused with "My Generation", because it isn't. DJ Ben was not alive during the 1980's.
