Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #858 – 1/19/2019: Dara Ackerman interview!
Dara Ackerman’s been a good friend of Twirl Radio for the past 5 years, ever since I met her when she joined Bay Area powerhouse band Felsen. At that point, I thought Felsen was the perfect band, strong in the studio and incredibly powerful and dynamic in the live setting. They lacked nothing. Then Dara…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #43, 1/15/2019
It was a dark, stormy night. Ok, how many stories begin that way? But seriously, it actually WAS quite stormy in Sacramento last night, and most nights ARE dark in our town. But all this was going on as I prepared to lay a whole bunch of music on you last night. So I hunkered…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #857 – 1/12/2019: Interview doubleheader: Elizabeth Le Fey of Globelamp and Michal Towber!
Today was “edgy day” on Twirl Radio. What do I mean by that? I was fortunate enough to interview two different singer-songwriters on the show, who both have an adventurous edge to their music and songwriting. Both released albums this past fall. In the first hour, we met Elizabeth Le Fey of Globelamp. Her new…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #856 – 1/5/2019: John Borack in-studio interview!
2019 started off with a bang. I had planned to interview music author John Borack via Skype or telephone, from his home in Southern California, for the first Twirl Radio episode of the year. But then he dropped me a little note, and asked how I’d feel if the interview were an in-person one instead.…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #42, 1/8/2019
Here we are–it’s 2019. It’s the end of the “teens”. Do any of you still think of the 1990s as “last decade”? For real–we just blew through two decades like it was a long weekend. I want it all to slow down a bit. 2018 came and went, but at least left tons of great…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #41, 12/30/2018
I missed you guys. I hadn’t done a show here at Woody Radio in 12 days–since a week before Christmas, and here we are, staring down 2019. I realized that if I didn’t act quickly, it would be another week before I get to see you all on the radio, since I’ll be taking off…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #40, 12/18/2018
Did you see that number up above? Show #40? Wow, can you believe that Gidget and Boris (and really, everybody else at Woody) have let me get this far? Why, just take a look at tonight’s shenanigans, and draw your own conclusions. Immediately out of the gate, we did a trainwreck segue, featuring three artists…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #855 – 12/15/2018: Melissa Phillips interview!
This week’s show was the final live Twirl Radio episode of 2018. Just like that…poof! And that’s another year of great music in the books. So how do we wrap up a year like this? Well, fortunately, my friend Melissa Phillips, a wonderful Bay Area singer-songwriter, just released her brand new EP “Both Ways”, a…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #39, 12/11/2018
What’s in a name? Well, in this case, “Pop” is in a name. In the first full set of this week’s show, we had three artists who’ve got that in common: Iggy Pop, Poplord, and Jointpop. And those three artists couldn’t be any more different from each other, but they sure sounded good, one right…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #854 – 12/8/2018: Nelson Bragg interview!
This week’s show was a real treat. It had been a good while since I’d had Nelson Bragg on the show. A quick check of the Twirl archives showed that it was exactly 6 years ago–to the day–when he was last on! So it seems that we probably had a lot to catch up on…
