Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #813 – 2/10/2018: Bill Kopp interview!
Today’s show marks our first ever visit with music writer/author Bill Kopp. I’ve been following his work for several years with his Musoscribe blog. He’s really prolific–since 2009, he’s published over 2000 pieces there. He usually has a new article or review up there every business day. As if that weren’t enough writing about music,…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #8, 2/6/2018
February is here. In the grand scheme of things, it kind of gets the short end of the stick. It’s only 28 days long, and sometimes, in an effort to throw it a bone, the rest of the months pitch in to give it an extra day. People even forget how to pronounce it–yes, the…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #811 – 1/27/2018: Charlie Crabtree & William Cleere interview/show takeover!
As we enter Year 21 of the Twirl Radio era, I knew we had to kick it off with a fun show. My two guests, Charlie Crabtree and Bill Cleere, were the right men for the job. Both are musicians on Allen Clapp’s great Mystery Lawn Music label, from the San Francisco Bay Area. Charlie…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #810 – 1/20/2018: Twirl Radio 20th Anniversary Special!
20 years of Twirl. It’s hard to believe that it’s gone by this fast, and that we’re still on the air. Access Sacramento first let me through the studio doors on January 17, 1998, and a nervous, shaky me somehow got through it. Playlist from the first Twirl Radio episode, 20 years ago, January 17,…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #7, 1/16/2018
This show comes on the heels of a little weekend trip to Fresno, CA, just a few hours south of where I sit in Sacramento. I know what you’re thinking–Fresno is probably a big blank to you, because unless you’re from here, you’ve probably barely heard of it, and don’t know a thing about it.…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #809 – 1/13/2018
Today’s show started out one way, but turned into something else, equally as good. We were supposed to interview outsider folk singer-songwriter Amy Annelle, but circumstances beyond our control prevented that. But we did get to hear a couple of her songs, including her cover of Townes Van Zandt’s “Buckskin Stallion Blues”–which appeared in the…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #808 – 1/6/2018: Vic’s Picks: A conversation with Victor Erwin of Spyderpop Records!
We started off the first show of 2018 with a bang–a chat with Victor Erwin of Spyderpop Records, of Arlington, Texas! I’ve known Vic for about four years, and I’ve been wanting to get him on the show ever since the day we met. We were hanging out in Texas, enjoying barbeque and beers, and…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #6, 1/2/2018
2018. It has a nice ring to it. After having not been on the air since last year, I was itching to get back on, so I did my sixth Woody Radio show on the night of January 2. We featured some brand new for 2018 music from The Bottle Kids–a great power pop band…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #5, 12/30/2017
2017 has turned out to be a stellar year for independent music. It’s hard to put together top albums lists, when you have 10 albums that belong in your top 5, and 20 that belong in your top 10. Today’s show celebrated a little bit of that, but wasn’t really a countdown show. And I…
