Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #830 – 6/16/2018: Interview tripleheader: Sunshine Boys, Gretchen’s Wheel, and Krista D!
On this week’s show, I was given a really nice Father’s Day gift: the chance to do a double show–4 full hours of radio! Bill Fuller, who normally does the show before mine, took the day off and asked me to fill in. So what do you do with a gift like that? You share…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #20, 6/12/2018
Show #20. And they said it wouldn’t last. Well, as accurate as “they” usually are with their predictions, “they” apparently had an off night. Hey, we all do from time to time. So basically, I squeaked in on a loophole, and defied all logic and odds, and now have 20 Woody Radio shows under my…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #829 – 6/9/2018: In-studio guests Anton Barbeau and Andrew Griffin of Felsen!
So for the past two weeks, we had doubleheader interviews on the show. Where do you go after that? How about two interviews–live, in the Twirl studios? So we did just that. There was a very special occasion in Sacramento that night–a show at the lovely Shine Cafe, featuring Anton Barbeau (with full Antband Kenny),…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #19, 6/5/2018
This first show of June happened on an election night here in California. I was advising listeners, if they were watching the election returns on TV, to turn down the volume on their televisions, and instead, turn up the volume on Woody Radio. That way, no matter what happens with the election, it’s always good…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #828 – 6/2/2018: Interview doubleheader Lannie Flowers and Byron Isaacs!
For the second week in a row, I had the pleasure of doing two interviews on the show. It was a real treat–both are great artists. I’ve known one for years, and the other, I met for the first time just today. Lannie Flowers has been a staple of my radio shows since his 2010…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #18, 5/29/2018
Coming off the long Memorial Day holiday weekend, I was really missing you guys. I’ve been chomping at the bit to play some music for you–so I did–53 songs in all! We started with Chuck and Buck (Prophet and Owens), and the night got progressively better and better. We had some lively conversation going on…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #827 – 5/26/2018: Interview doubleheader with Dave Weckerman of The Feelies/Yung Wu, and Jesse Ainslie!
This week’s show featured a pair of interviews. We started off with Dave Weckerman, percussionist of the legendary New Jersey band The Feelies. The Feelies have always been known for their propulsive, minimalist sound, and have amassed quite a following outside their local area–that’s why folks like me have heard of them and enjoyed their…

Aircheck: Mike Lidskin guest hosting on The William Fuller League of Musical Detectorists, 5/23/2018
I had the rare chance to do a fill-in show at KUBU 96.5 FM on a weekday. My friend Bill Fuller, of The William Fuller League of Musical Detectorists, a very excellent show, took some time off, and entrusted me with his timeslot. I kept to his usual format, but played music from my collection.…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #826 – 5/19/2018: Interviews with Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and Warren Bishop!
On this show, we had the privilege of chatting with both the legendary Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and the local musical stalwart Warren Bishop. We also previewed the Twirl Radio Pop Fest ’18, which was held the following day. There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s take it one piece at a time. Roger…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #17, 5/15/2018
With this week’s show, we wrap up my first six months at Woody Radio. Wow–it’s gone by quickly for me–and hopefully, you’ve enjoyed these Tuesday nights even half as much as I have. My hope is that this show has exposed you to some great new (or old) music that you now love, and want…
