Radio de Tommy Keene

Tommy Keene is considered one of the 1980s most critically acclaimed (and commercially ignored) singer/songwriters and a prime example of the musical genre of Power pop.[citation needed] Originally hailing from Washington D.C., his 1984 EP Places That Are Gone became one of the year's top selling independent releases.[citation needed] The EP garnered a four-star review in Rolling Stone, and was voted the #1 EP in the following year's Village Voice Pazz & Jop Poll. Keene has since recorded and released numerous albums on such labels as Dolphin, Geffen and Matador Records. He has worked with producers T-Bone Burnett and Don Dixon. He continues to record and tour and recently released an album with Robert Pollard, formerly of Guided by Voices, as 'The Keene Brothers.' His biggest influence is said to be The Raspberries.[citation needed] In May 2006, Keene confirmed that he was gay in an interview with The Advocate. [1]
