Besides the dj gigs Andy Rourke does from time to time with his Jetlag project, and working with Peter Hook in Freebass, The Smiths' ex-bass player hosts a weekly two hour radio program on East Village Radio on Mondays. Rourke plays mostly old school music and personal favorites, and you never know what he might play--it's kind of an eclectic mix.
He kicked off the most recent show with "Death Of A Disco Dancer" by The Smiths and played Primal Scream, Kraftwerk, Iggy Pop, Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, The Temptations, Donna Summer, Magazine, Sex Pistols, and even Morrissey. As an aside, I hope he's not typing up his own playlist--kind of a major faux pas to spell your old bandmate's name wrong regardless of whether you're on speaking terms or not.
