Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #887 – 8/31/2019
On this week’s show, we took a break from the recent bounty of interviews, and simply brought you three hours of some of the finest recorded music available, both old and new, indie and not-so-indie. We’ll get back to interviewing today’s vital recording artists shortly. Artist | Track | Album The Babys | Isn’t It…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #71, 8/27/2019
I just had a weird, fun idea, but I should have started it about 71 episodes ago. It came to me because I took a look at this week’s playlist, and noticed that there were 56 tracks on this show, and that this happened to be episode #71 of my show. So here’s the thought–I…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #886 – 8/24/2019: Interview doubleheader: Alexa Hunter of Disturbed Furniture and Ken Kurson of The Lilacs!
On this week’s episode, I had the chance to meet two artists whose bands were popular back in the day, then went dormant for decades, then recently re-formed their bands and released great new EPs. I mean, one success story like this would be pretty cool–but two in one show? Wow! In the first hour,…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #885 – 8/17/2019: Woodstock anniversary Big Stir invasion of the Twirl Radio studios!
Due to the high volume of fun this summer, I have been a little bit behind in posting these blogs and playlists for my radio shows. The show on Saturday, 8/17, just piled even more fun on the already prominent heap of fun that I’ve been involved with lately. This was the day, long planned,…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #884 – 8/10/2019: Special birthday guest co-host DJ Gidget Marusak of Woody Radio!
On this week’s show, the perfect storm happened: my dear friend DJ Gidget, co-owner of Woody Radio, was kind enough to have her birthday on a Saturday, the day that Twirl Radio is on the air. She’s a little shy about her birthday, but I took a chance and invited her onto Twirl, to celebrate.…

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…
