Did you know that Robyn Hitchcock once recorded a song with the word “radio” in the chorus, and a Sacramento reference in one of the verses? I can’t tell you how much that’s always tickled me, and we started off this week’s show with that one. Honestly, the Sacramento reference seems so random–and if I…

This week’s show was fun. Well, for me, anyway. But I hope you found it fun as well, or are about to find it fun. Well, what is “fun”, anyway? For me, fun is discovering new music, and having some great musicians send me their latest as soon as they’re ready for people to hear…

Double overtime. 55 songs. Introducing an audience to brand new for 2019 music. This show had all of that, and more. 2019 is shaping up to be the year where lots of my long time favorites are putting out new albums. Some of them, like The Bobbleheads, The Decibels, Trip Wire, Matt Langlois (of The…

This week’s show was a minor milestone for me. It marks the 50th time that I snuck onto the Woody Radio airwaves, and did a show! I started the show back in November, 2017, and haven’t looked back. So how we celebrate? Well, in a few ways. We did some odd and inspiring segues, not…

This week’s show really had me bouncing around the world of music. I think there was a little something in it for everyone. We heard brand new music from Lost Leaders, featuring Byron Isaacs, who released one of my favorite albums last year. And then we segued right into an obscure Clash tune from Sandinista!…

You know how some shows, in an effort to be dramatic, save the “good songs” for right before the commercial break, or for the end of the show? Not me. I played only good songs on last night’s show. You see, at Woody Radio, we have no commercial breaks, and on Tuesday nights, I have…

Another Tuesday night, and another DJ Mike “Show With No Name”. During the show, I mused about the show, which shall remain nameless–literally–having no name. But that’s part of the charm. I purposely didn’t name this show. I’ve named my other radio shows in the past, giving them names such as “Twirl”, or “The California…

Rain? Check. Wind gusts? Check. Tortilla chips? Check. I had all of those things at the ready when I started my show this week. It was 45 degrees at show time–and by the end of the show, it warmed UP to 47. That’s pretty strange for a nighttime, winter radio show, but if nothing else,…

Here’s my top 40 songs of 2018, as played live on Woody Radio, February 5th, 2019. I live blogged these as the show progressed, adding one song at a time until we reached #1! Check out the audio from both this show and the Twirlie Awards show: Twirlie Awards show, 2/2/2019: Twirlie Awards top songs…

We are in mid-winter limbo here in the US. This past rainy Sunday, I had NFL football conference championship playoffs on the TV for 7 mind-numbing hours. I had the volume down. I just felt like returning to those days of my youth, when I followed every sport there is. Nowadays, I just don’t have…
