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.…

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…

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…
