Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #861 – 2/9/2019
You know, 2019 started off with a bang. Weeks of live radio interviews, and then last week, the Twirlie Awards show, with all of its attendant hoopla. So I thought this week might be an opporunity to play catch up. The music waits for no one–new releases have been coming in nearly every day, and…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #859 – 1/26/2019: Louis Michot interview!
Louis Michot is a busy guy. The Louisiana-based Cajun musician has been a bit hard to get ahold of lately, because he’s constantly touring and gigging with several bands, including the Lost Bayou Ramblers, which he co-founded, and the spinoff Michot’s Melody Makers. But we finally pinned him down for a bit, and I had…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #44, 1/22/2019
We are in mid-winter limbo here in the US. This past rainy Sunday, I had NFL football conference championship playoffs on the TV for 7 mind-numbing hours. I had the volume down. I just felt like returning to those days of my youth, when I followed every sport there is. Nowadays, I just don’t have…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #858 – 1/19/2019: Dara Ackerman interview!
Dara Ackerman’s been a good friend of Twirl Radio for the past 5 years, ever since I met her when she joined Bay Area powerhouse band Felsen. At that point, I thought Felsen was the perfect band, strong in the studio and incredibly powerful and dynamic in the live setting. They lacked nothing. Then Dara…

It was a dark, stormy night. Ok, how many stories begin that way? But seriously, it actually WAS quite stormy in Sacramento last night, and most nights ARE dark in our town. But all this was going on as I prepared to lay a whole bunch of music on you last night. So I hunkered…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #857 – 1/12/2019: Interview doubleheader: Elizabeth Le Fey of Globelamp and Michal Towber!
Today was “edgy day” on Twirl Radio. What do I mean by that? I was fortunate enough to interview two different singer-songwriters on the show, who both have an adventurous edge to their music and songwriting. Both released albums this past fall. In the first hour, we met Elizabeth Le Fey of Globelamp. Her new…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #856 – 1/5/2019: John Borack in-studio interview!
2019 started off with a bang. I had planned to interview music author John Borack via Skype or telephone, from his home in Southern California, for the first Twirl Radio episode of the year. But then he dropped me a little note, and asked how I’d feel if the interview were an in-person one instead.…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #42, 1/8/2019
Here we are–it’s 2019. It’s the end of the “teens”. Do any of you still think of the 1990s as “last decade”? For real–we just blew through two decades like it was a long weekend. I want it all to slow down a bit. 2018 came and went, but at least left tons of great…
