Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #866 – 3/16/2019: Interview doubleheader: Andrew Curry and Melissa Phillips!
I knew this week’s show would be fun and comfortable. It always is when you’re with friends, and this week, I had two of them on the show. We started with Andrew Curry, who over the past 5 years, has, through his Curry Cuts label, released a quartet of themed compilation tribute albums, all with…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #50, 3/12/2019
This week’s show was a minor milestone for me. It marks the 50th time that I snuck onto the Woody Radio airwaves, and did a show! I started the show back in November, 2017, and haven’t looked back. So how we celebrate? Well, in a few ways. We did some odd and inspiring segues, not…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #865 – 3/9/2019
In this still-young year of 2019, I’ve done about a dozen radio interviews. That’s a pretty breakneck pace, so I thought I’d take a bit of a breather this week and not schedule any interviews. Operative word being “schedule”. More on that in a bit. This was a great chance to roll out some more…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #49, 3/5/2019
This week’s show really had me bouncing around the world of music. I think there was a little something in it for everyone. We heard brand new music from Lost Leaders, featuring Byron Isaacs, who released one of my favorite albums last year. And then we segued right into an obscure Clash tune from Sandinista!…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #864 – 3/2/2019: Interview with Marc Feldman of Level5!
On today’s show, we got to meet NYC-based drummer Mark Feldman, of Mark Feldman’s Level5. Their debut, The Sybil EP, gives you more for your money. It’s only 3 songs, but with each song clocking in between 6 and 7 minutes, it’s really like double that. They’re all instrumentals, and they feature funky and jazzy…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #48, 2/26/2019
You know how some shows, in an effort to be dramatic, save the “good songs” for right before the commercial break, or for the end of the show? Not me. I played only good songs on last night’s show. You see, at Woody Radio, we have no commercial breaks, and on Tuesday nights, I have…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #863 – 2/23/2019: Cole Guerra of I Am Casting interview!
On this week’s show, we met North Carolina-based Cole Guerra. He’s the main man behind I Am Casting, a jazzy project, which is the perfect combination of experimental, floating melodies and pointed, topical lyrics. After more than a decade off from making music, Cole, a psychologist, returned to the studio. Interestingly enough, he creates the…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #47, 2/19/2019
Another Tuesday night, and another DJ Mike “Show With No Name”. During the show, I mused about the show, which shall remain nameless–literally–having no name. But that’s part of the charm. I purposely didn’t name this show. I’ve named my other radio shows in the past, giving them names such as “Twirl”, or “The California…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #862 – 2/16/2019: In-studio interviews with Gail George, and with Eric Blakely of The Bottle Kids!
Radio magic. It happened this weekend. I was fortunate to have two amazing, wonderful, friendly musical guests visiting me in person, in the Twirl studios. They both traveled a long way to get here, so it was one of those days where all musical roads lead to Sacramento. Sacramento native, singer-songwriter Gail George, was visiting…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #46, 2/12/2019
Rain? Check. Wind gusts? Check. Tortilla chips? Check. I had all of those things at the ready when I started my show this week. It was 45 degrees at show time–and by the end of the show, it warmed UP to 47. That’s pretty strange for a nighttime, winter radio show, but if nothing else,…
