Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #825 – 5/12/2018: Michael Simmons interview!
Today’s show featured an interview with Michael Simmons. I’ve known the sparkle*jets u.k. and Popdudes frontman for several years, but never before had him on the show. He’s just released an amazing solo album, “First Days of Summer”, and we used that auspicious occasion to talk about this tour de force through the world of…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #16, 5/8/2018
Well this week’s show was a fun one. Oh wait–there’s goes my journalistic integrity–I say that every time! But it’s true. We had a lot of stuff going on this week. A whole new batch of brand new, May 2018 submissions–from Pugwash, David Myhr, Krista D, Astral Drive, Sunshine Boys, and Roger Joseph Manning Jr.–graced…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #824 – 5/5/2018: Busting out more new music!
In recent weeks and months, we’ve done so many interviews, that today’s show was a nice chance to take a breather, and just play some songs. Lots of them. And the cool part is the the new 2018 music keeps rolling in, either in my mailbox, my inbox, or sometimes, people just hand me a…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #15, 5/1/2018
May Day! May Day! Yes, my most recent Woody Radio show was on May 1st. So what kind of May Day shenanigans did I pull? Well, for starters, pretty darn near the top of the show, Frank Black, and his now-legendary song about The Three Stooges, followed immediately by Curtis Mayfield’s Superfly. So you knew…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #823 – 4/28/2018: Interview with Jim Coleman of This Wilderness!
On today’s show, we chatted with Jim Coleman, one half of the New York electropunk due This Wilderness! They are about to release their debut album, “Sorry About Tomorrow”. It’s full of contrasts. The album is both challenging and exhilarating, both dark and fun, both negative and optimistic. Much of the music sounds electronic, yet…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #822 – 4/21/2018: Interview with Peter Watts and Ruth Rogers of Spygenius!
On today’s show, we were treated to a visit with Peter Watts and Ruth Rogers of Canterbury, UK band Spygenius. They’ve been around quite a while, but their entrance into the Big Stir* fold put them on my radar this year. So we asked the big, imperative questions, such as “Where did the name Spygenius…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #14, 4/17/2018
This week’s Tuesday night extravaganza had a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, and even a little bit of something else. We played a vintage, 40 year old track, from a band called Strontium 90. Do you know who they were? They didn’t stay Strontium 90 for long–they changed their name,…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #821 – 4/14/2018: Serena Jost interview!
Singer/ songwriter/ cellist. That’s a combination you pretty much never hear of. Well on today’s show, we chatted with singer/ songwriter/ cellist Serena Jost–where the combination actually does apply. The classically-trained cellist (and really, aren’t all cellists classically-trained?) was a founding member of the legendary female-driven, cello group Rasputina. Since then, she’s created her own…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #13, 4/10/2018
So here we are. Lucky show #13. And we celebrated this good luck by turning in a 5 hour and 13 minute marathon of a show. Our beloved DJ Mac took a rare and well-deserved night off, to go hear some live music. So Gidget and I divided up the evening, and as a result,…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #820 – 4/7/2018: In studio interview and performance by Matt Langlois of The Welcome Matt!
If you remember back a couple of months ago at the Twirlie Awards, The Welcome Matt’s 2017 album, More Empire Days, tied for Album of the Year. Well I found out recently that Matt Langlois, the “Matt” in the band, was going to be in Sacramento this weekend. So I convinced him to join me…
