Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #883 – 8/3/2019: Interview tripleheader: Janet LaBelle, Christina Bulbenko / Rex Broome / John Borack / David Bash, Lannie Flowers / Danny Wilkerson
This week’s show was kind of epic. It had everything going on: thrills, spills, chills, and Doan’s Pills (old timey reference)! Ok, maybe not all of that, but still, a pretty big show. Lots to unpack here, so let’s take it from the top. In the first hour, we met NYC-based singer-songwriter Janet LaBelle. We…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #882 – 7/27/2019: In-studio guest Hannah Judson!
On this week’s show, singer-songwriter Hannah Judson returns for an in-studio visit–and a live performance of a couple of new songs. What a treat! Hannah is an American expatriate who lives in Paris. She’s the second one we’ve had on Twirl this year–Erik Blakely of The Bottle Kids visited in February. She’s also only the…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #881 – 7/13/2019: In-studio guests Natalie Cortez & Jay Knox of The Natalie Cortez Band!
This week’s episode is one I’ve been long anticipating. A live, extended, in-studio visit with veteran NorCal musicians Natalie Cortez and Jay Knox. They’ve been a big part of the Sacramento music scene for longer than I’ve been living here (20+ years). When I arrived in Sacramento in 1997, there was a thriving music scene…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #880 – 7/6/2019: Interview doubleheader: In Deed and Richard X. Heyman!
The radio gods smiled down on Twirl Radio again this week. We were blessed with two fun and interesting interviews with artists who have brand new albums out. In the first hour, we chatted with Linda Karlsberg and Marcus Segersvärd from Swedish band In Deed. They were vacationing in Finland, one time zone east from…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #65, 7/2/2019
Halfway through 2019. Yes, I realize that first sentence-like structure has no verb, no action word. But verb or no verb, the music we play on Woody Radio is chock full of action. This show was no exception. Although we didn’t explicitly bill it as such, I guess that it’s our Independence Day show, as…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #879 – 6/29/2019: Interview doubleheader: Trip Wire & Dave Schramm of The Schramms and Yo La Tengo!
On this week’s show, we got to celebrate recent releases from San Francisco band Trip Wire, and New Jersey’s The Schramms. In the first hour, we dialed into San Francisco to talk with Marty Schneider, Stu Shader, and Jeff Shelton (lots of alliteration there) of Trip Wire. Jeff’s been on the show before for his…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #64, 6/25/2019
“Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?” Yes, this is my 64th show on Woody Radio. And I’m hoping you still need me–or at least the music that I play. But even if you don’t, I’ll come back next week for another try. Speaking of Woody Radio–this was the…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #878 – 6/22/2019: Live in-studio interview with The Decibels!
This week’s show was two decades in the making. And I mean that almost literally. Our very special in-studio guests were Sacramento’s own The Decibels! I’ve known Dean Seavers online for nearly 20 years, and have been a fan of their music since their 2001 release Big Sounds of the Decibels. But here’s the catch–I’d…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #877 – 6/15/2019: Interview doubleheader: Matt Langlois of The Welcome Matt and Mark English of The Gold Needles!
A bit late with the playlist and blog this week, but no less relevant: this week’s Twirl show was, as they say in the UK, a real corker! (Did I get that right?) We had a couple of guests, and one of them was even from England! In the first hour, our guest was Matt…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #876 – 6/8/2019: David Brookings interview!
Well, I finally did it. Yes. It. What is this “it”, you ask? I finally had David Brookings, of David Brookings and the Average Lookings (one of the best band names out there) on Twirl Radio! I’ve been a big fan of his music for at least a half a decade, but it’s been a…
