WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #32, 10/2/2018
It’s Fall. It’s October And it’s Tuesday night. Three of my favorite times. The first two mean that in Sacramento, it LOOKS like fall outside, but still kinda feels like summer. The third one means that I get to play some music for you on Woody Radio. So after a couple of weeks since my…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #844 – 9/29/2018: Interview with Kenn Goodman of The Imperial Sound!
Now it can be told: September was a pretty great month for interviews on Twirl Radio. To review: Ronnie Barnett of The Muffs, Sparklejet, Addison Love, and Danny Wilkerson. Most radio people, including myself, would give their eye teeth for a set of interviews like this (by the way–if you find my eye teeth, please…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #31, 9/18/2018
Summer’s almost over. Well, at least according to the calendar. Here in Sacramento, I think we should have something like a September version of Groundhog Day–if the Groundhog sees his shadow, then we’re in for six more weeks of summer. That’s how it usually works around here–we have warm weather well past the equinox, right…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #842 – 9/15/2018: Addison Love interview!
On this week’s show, we meet Southern California based singer/ songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist Addison Love. As it happens, we at Twirl Radio are no strangers to his music. A few years ago, when he was still in high school, he was part of the trio Yorktown Lads (along with his music instructor/ mentor Mike Simmons). The…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #30, 9/11/2018
You may be aware of the unwritten, but highly enforced radio regulation in commercial classic rock radio, that dictates a certain pair of songs must always be played together, in sequence. I know you already know which songs I’m referring to: Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker” and “Living Loving Maid (She’s Just A Woman)”. Apparently, there are…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #841 – 9/8/2018: In-studio interview with Sparklejet!
Only eight days in, and September has turned into a rather amazing month for the show. This week, the Fresno power trio Sparklejet drove up Highway 99 and made Twirl Radio their first Sacramento stop. Victor Sotelo, Wade Krause, and Chris Estep spent well over an hour with me, in an unstructured (my fault), free-ranging…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #29, 9/4/2018
Hard to believe it’s already September, but it is. Just past the American Labor Day holiday, and an unofficial kick-off to fall. So what does that mean? Here in Sacramento, it was 84 degrees at showtime, so it doesn’t really feel like Fall yet. Maybe it means I can’t wear my white slacks and white…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #840 – 9/1/2018: In-studio interview with Ronnie Barnett of The Muffs!
So I got this text message from Stephen “Spaz” Schnee the other day, telling me that Ronnie Barnett, founding member of The Muffs, was going to be in Sacramento over the Labor Day weekend. Now Spaz has been telling me for a while that the next time his friend Ronnie comes up to Sacramento, I…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #839 – 8/25/2018: In-studio interview/performance with Pepe Espada of Banjo Bones!
Today’s show was a fun one. Pepe Espada, of Sacramento’s own Banjo Bones, returned to the Twirl studios, and spent a full hour with me on the air. He’s about to release the fourth Banjo Bones album, “Ghostly Musings from the Delta”, and it is a fine record–perhaps his finest to date. Stellar songwriting–bleak subject…

WOODY RADIO DJ MIKE SHOW #28, 8/21/2018
This show was totally packed with music. How packed? Well, 55 songs full, that’s how much. We were “forced” to go into double overtime to get it all in. (If you don’t know what I mean by overtime, much less double overtime, give a listen to my show, and you’ll hear it happening right after…
