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…

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…
