Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: September 4, 2013

Although we have done shows with a Latin tinge in the past, this has usually meant Latin America, but on today’s show we are going to tend to tint our tune list with a literal Spanish tinge or Iberian inclination in honor of our friends at the Lunch Box Restaurant and Tiki Room located in Madrid, Spain (look them up on Facebook).

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge is broadcast on Wednesdays, 5-6 pm EDT at: http://www.radiofairfax.org The show is broadcast live; no recorded shows are archived. Some fans choose to record it on their computers to listen to later. Radio Fairfax also can be heard on Tune In Radio at tunein.com, and can be streamed on smartphones by downloading the Tunein app. It also can be streamed on Roku and Google TV at: http://tinyurl.com/3uqfsz9
