Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #872 – 5/11/2019: Interview tripleheader: Anton Barbeau & Julia Boorinakis Harper, Gaby Alter of Yes Gabriel, and Bex Francis of Access Sacramento!
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…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #869 – 4/6/2019
After a healthy, extended run of shows with interviews–and sometimes multiple interviews, leading up to last week’s interview tripleheader extravaganza, a break in the action was in order. No–not a work stoppage–just a show with no interviews and all all music. So that’s what we did–just music, and my, um, snappy remarks! But we took…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #868 – 3/30/2019: Interview tripleheader: Sean O’Brien, Jon Fried of The Campfire Flies, & Christina Bulbenko and Rex Broome of Big Stir Records!
Amazing. I’m out of breath and speechless. I don’t think I’d ever done a show with three interviews–in a regulation-length, two hour format–until today. If I could pick one word to describe the experience, “exhilarating” seems to do it. It all started innocently enough. I was scheduled to chat with Jon Fried, of New Jersey…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #52, 3/26/2019
This week’s show was fun. Well, for me, anyway. But I hope you found it fun as well, or are about to find it fun. Well, what is “fun”, anyway? For me, fun is discovering new music, and having some great musicians send me their latest as soon as they’re ready for people to hear…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #867 – 3/23/2019: Interview doubleheader: Kai Danzberg and Jesse Reaux of The Rayo Brothers!
Another week, another interview doubleheader. No–I don’t take this for granted–it was pretty awesome to travel all over the country and world, musically speaking, to gather a couple of interviews with some really interesting musicians. And we had a whole bunch of other stuff going on as well. First off–my friend Bill Fuller, who does…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #51, 3/19/2019
Double overtime. 55 songs. Introducing an audience to brand new for 2019 music. This show had all of that, and more. 2019 is shaping up to be the year where lots of my long time favorites are putting out new albums. Some of them, like The Bobbleheads, The Decibels, Trip Wire, Matt Langlois (of The…
