Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #847 – 10/20/2018: Interview with Eric Kern and John Ratts of Vegas With Randolph!
Vegas With Randolph is a band that we’ve championed on Twirl Radio for a long time–pretty much this entire decade. They’re a hard working bunch of musicians from the greater Washington, D.C. area, who’ve released three exciting albums, and are about to release their fourth, “Legs & Luggage”, which might be their most rockin’ and…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #34, 10/16/2018
Some weeks are tougher than others. It seems like I’ve been plagued by little technical difficulties all week, and one big one. Unfortunately, the big one happened right in the middle of this week’s show! About halfway through, my broadcast computer suddenly went dead. Kaput. Fini. So I simply rebooted it, and soldiered on, picking…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #846 – 10/13/2018: Live in-studio visit with Anton Barbeau and Julia Boorinakis Harper!
Well, Anton Barbeau is back visiting his hometown of Sacramento, from Berlin. And that means a Twirl Radio in-studio visit! Don’t get me wrong–I don’t take this for granted. Honestly–it never gets old. I just count myself lucky that he’s back, and here to chat music. So he and Julia came and spent over an…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #33, 10/9/2018
This week’s show was an exercise in variety and eclecticism–if that’s an actual word. Okay–I just looked it up, and it turns out that “eclecticism” is indeed a real word. So there’s that. We played a bunch of songs from all over the rock ‘n’ roll spectrum. Each week, right after DJ Mac plays the…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #845 – 10/6/2018: Interview doubleheader: Christian Havins and Linda Beecroft of Dallas Acid, and Rich Hope!
Now this is what I would call a diverse show. We hadn’t done a doubleheader of interviews in a while, and the two artists we interviewed couldn’t be more dissimilar. And the variety is a good thing! In the first hour, we met Christian Havins and Linda Beecroft, of ambient trio Dallas Acid (interestingly enough,…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #32, 10/2/2018
It’s Fall. It’s October And it’s Tuesday night. Three of my favorite times. The first two mean that in Sacramento, it LOOKS like fall outside, but still kinda feels like summer. The third one means that I get to play some music for you on Woody Radio. So after a couple of weeks since my…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #844 – 9/29/2018: Interview with Kenn Goodman of The Imperial Sound!
Now it can be told: September was a pretty great month for interviews on Twirl Radio. To review: Ronnie Barnett of The Muffs, Sparklejet, Addison Love, and Danny Wilkerson. Most radio people, including myself, would give their eye teeth for a set of interviews like this (by the way–if you find my eye teeth, please…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #31, 9/18/2018
Summer’s almost over. Well, at least according to the calendar. Here in Sacramento, I think we should have something like a September version of Groundhog Day–if the Groundhog sees his shadow, then we’re in for six more weeks of summer. That’s how it usually works around here–we have warm weather well past the equinox, right…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #842 – 9/15/2018: Addison Love interview!
On this week’s show, we meet Southern California based singer/ songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist Addison Love. As it happens, we at Twirl Radio are no strangers to his music. A few years ago, when he was still in high school, he was part of the trio Yorktown Lads (along with his music instructor/ mentor Mike Simmons). The…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #30, 9/11/2018
You may be aware of the unwritten, but highly enforced radio regulation in commercial classic rock radio, that dictates a certain pair of songs must always be played together, in sequence. I know you already know which songs I’m referring to: Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker” and “Living Loving Maid (She’s Just A Woman)”. Apparently, there are…
