PLAYLIST FOR “CLICHE CLINIC” (AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST) 2.28.26

1 Mar

Couldn’t do a new show this week so dusted off a show from a couple years ago. This was my swt-up back then:

What do these things have in common? 

  •      I’d rather have a root canal!
  •      It’s like putting lipstick on a pig!
  •      It’s totally gone off the tracks!

No, these are not descriptions of my show. They’re Cliches – which I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole and, at the end of the day, I bend over backwards not to use them as if my life depended on it. Except Saturday night when I gave a Clinic In Cliches!

PLAYLIST FOR “LOADS OF LOVE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY!” 2.14.26

15 Feb

Loads of love songs for Valentine’s Day. In the past I’ve always dropped in a ton of ironic songs about love that are hardly love songs. One year, to be ironic, I even played Love For Sale. This year, this month, this week, I didn’t think the world needed my irony – or maybe I didn’t need it right now. So, for the most part, I played a couple hours of un-ironic, unapologetic love songs.

29 Dec

For the final show of 2025, I looked back at some of my favorite musical themes, some favorite new singers I discovered this year, and bid a fond farewell to the penny plus some of the singers and musicians who will be among the missing in 2026.

15 Dec

Next week is my annual Turntable For One Christmas party.

15 Sep

Dos and Don’ts – we’ve heard them all our lives! Don’t talk unless your raise your hand. Don’t bring candy to school unless you bring enough for everyone. Don’t lock your little sister in the closet…maybe that’s just me. And later we all heard: Do call your mother!

25 May

Rude. Crude. Stubborn. More talk than listen.  Mean-Spirited. No, I wasn’t quoting from my high school report card. I’ve just been looking at the world around us. Did I have answers?
