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…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #3, 12/19/2017
Third time’s the charm, or so they say! This show featured a wide variety of music, everything from R. Stevie Moore & Jason Falkner, to Marilyn Monroe, and back again. Wait–Marilyn Monroe? Well, in honor of our own DJ Mac, whose birthday was today (and he was listening), we played Marilyn’s version of “Happy Birthday…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #807 – 12/16/2017: Special guest cohost DJ Gidget of Woody Radio!
Today’s show is the final live Twirl Radio show of 2017, so we went out with a fun show. My very special guest cohost was none other than DJ Gidget Bates of Woody Radio! I’d been wanting to get her back on the show for a few years, and the opportunity presented itself, so we…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #806 – 12/9/2017: Jody Porter interview!
On today’s show, we got to meet Jody Porter. You might recognize him as the guitarist from Fountains of Wayne. He’s currently staying in the UK, so we had an in-depth, middle of the night chat about his 2017 solo album Pacifier, a really great listen. He explained the concept behind the album, and we…

Woody Radio DJ Mike Show #2, 12/5/2017
Well, two weeks in, and Woody Radio (www.woodyradio.com) hasn’t yet figured out how to ban me from their airwaves, so I got to do a second show. And you know what–just to be a little bit bold and naughty, I snuck in some overtime! Yes–after I hit the 3-hour mark, I stayed on a little…

Twirl Radio Playlist – Show #805 – 12/2/2017: Interview doubleheader: Speed The Plough & Lost Bayou Ramblers!
On this show, we took a virtual field trip to two very interesting regions of the country for our interviews: New Jersey and New Orleans! In the first hour, we chatted with Toni and John Baumgartner of venerable indie psych-folk band Speed The Plough! They started in the 1980s, but after a long hiatus, have…
