WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #61, 6/4/2019
Ok, I’m gonna cut right to the chase. Wait–the is the second week in a row where I’ve cut to the chase. What exactly IS this “chase” that everybody keeps cutting to? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Apparently, it’s pretty popular. So popular, that I’ve cut to it twice now, and…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #875 – 6/1/2019: Interview with Barbara Endes of Girls on Grass, and the debut 3-hour Twirl Radio show!
This week’s Twirl crossed a new frontier, if you will. Thanks to Access Sacramento, home of KUBU 96.5 FM, we expand from our historical two hour time slot to a full three hours. That’s right, 50% more of everything–more music, more interviews, more music, more chatter, more good vibes, and most importantly, more music! So…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #60, 5/28/2019
Ok, let’s cut right to the chase. We are 60 episodes old now. The management at Woody Radio continues to leave me unsupervised on Tuesday nights, and I run roughshod all over the airwaves. I play weird segues. I mix sounds together that aren’t traditionally heard on radio. I play bands with funny names (if…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #874 – 5/25/2019: Interview with Mimi Betinis of Pezband, and Twirl Radio Pop Fest 19 Preview!
This week’s show was a treat. The legendary Mimi Betinis, front man of seminal power pop band Pezband, was our guest. I’ve been meaning to have him on Twirl for quite some time, and a special occasion provided the right time for a visit. What was the special occasion? A 40th anniversary remix and re-release…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #873 – 5/18/2019: Interview tripleheader: Victor Erwin of Spyderpop Records, John Ashfield & Rob Harford of The Bobbleheads, and Stephen Schnee–all in-studio!
If last week’s show was one for the books, this week’s was one for the ages. 3 sets of guests–all live, in the Sacramento studio. And thanks to my friend Bill Fuller (The Long Hair Detectorists Guild), who was off this week, I got to expand to a full 4 hours! And we seriously needed…

This show was one for the books. Completely fun and unpredictable. Another episode with three interviews, and yes, we pulled this off. First up–Anton Barbeau and Julia Boorinakis Harper returned to the show. Yes, Anton is from here (Sacramento) originally. And yes, he lives in Berlin. And yes, he’s finlly released his long-awaited solo record,…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #871 – 5/4/2019: Karen Haglof interview!
On this week’s show, we welcomed back New York City-based Karen Haglof, to celebrate the release of her new album Tobiano. Karen’s had an interesting and varied career, to be sure. She’s been a chef, she’s a physician, and she’s an equestrian. As if that weren’t enough for a couple of lifetimes, she’s also a…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #56, 4/30/2019
This was my so-called triumphant return to radio! I’d been on vacation for over a week, and off the air for a couple of weeks. Yes, I was observing radio silence. But I couldn’t wait to get back on the air. As the old saying goes, I was tanned, rested and ready. (Trivia question: where…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #870 – 4/13/2019: Morgan Geer of Drunken Prayer interview!
On this week’s show, we get to meet Morgan Geer, a guy who’s kind of an Americana legend. He’s the guitarist for Freakwater, which is a big deal all on its own. But then he got the nod to tour all over the US, and 18 other countries, with The Handsome Family. Well, necessity is…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #54, 4/9/2019
Did you know that Robyn Hitchcock once recorded a song with the word “radio” in the chorus, and a Sacramento reference in one of the verses? I can’t tell you how much that’s always tickled me, and we started off this week’s show with that one. Honestly, the Sacramento reference seems so random–and if I…
