Hi. I'm Lars Gotrich. I do a lot of things for NPR Music. I enjoy metal, fun-killer noise, effusively joyful pop music and beer. Sometimes I make mixtapes as DJ Gold Locks.
50 years ago today, Telstar was the first satellite to bounce TV pictures from America to Europe and back. This, of course, calls for “Telstar” by The Tornadoes, one of Joe Meek’s finest productions.
