PLAYLIST FOR “A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO INANIMATE OBJECTS” (AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST 10.18.25

Saturday’s show was a blast from the past, a show from about a year ago. Here’s what I said back then:

What do you do when you’re so sick of politics, you can’t stand to turn on the news— and when your football teams are losing so badly it ruins Sunday afternoon… and Sunday night… And Thursday night… And Monday night… and when your favorite restaurant starts listing the calories for every single menu item. I’ll tell you what you do to take your mind off the real world. You do a two-hour musical tribute to inanimate objects!

PLAYLIST FOR “BIG BEAUTIFUL BILLS!” 5.31.25

2 Jun

A couple weeks ago I made a joke calling myself the original Big Beautiful Bill. I thought it was pretty funny all things considered these days. But then I started worrying. What about Billy Wilder? Or Bill Buckley? Or Bill Russell? Or Bill Parcels? Or maybe even Barnacle Bill The Sailor? What about all big beautiful Bills? Didn’t I owe them an apology? So I played a couple of hours of singers, musicians, arrangers, and composers named Bill. I thought they fit the bill perfectly.

PLAYLIST FOR “OSCAR NIGHT 2024!” 3.9.24

11 Mar

My traditional Pre-Academy Awards show when I play Oscar winner and losers. This year I wanted to do something different…maybe feature the music of Oscar Hammerstein, or Oscar Peterson or Oscar Levant…or list 101 things you can do with an Oscar Myer wiener. (The WMNR legal team gave that a “thumbs down” in a nano-second.) Then I thought, what about songs that didn’t get nominated? Don’t they need some love? So this year I featured Winners (W), and Losers (L), plus great songs that got Snubbed (S)!

PLAYLIST FOR “WORDS FOR WORDLE” (5.21.22)

30 May

Axiom…Thumb…Under…Triad -I know, it sounds like some words I missed on a sixth grade spelling test. Well, they’re also words I’ve been using to play the addictive, time-suck word game, Wordle, figuring out the five-letter word of the day. Probably many in my audience play Wordle during my show. You can imagine how happy I am not to have their full attention. Putting that aside, I offered them a bunch of five-letter words to improve their game. Who says public service radio is dead?

PLAYLIST FOR “A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO UNREALITY – REALLY!” (5.14.22)

15 May

Impossible! It just can’t be! Have you lost touch with reality? I know. It sounds like my last IRS audit. Or maybe Wolf Blitzer’s performance review. Nope. These are things people have been saying about Turntable For One for years. And this week, they were right. I paid tribute to all the things and ways people embrace, admire, and seek Unreality. Is the last song Reality or Unreality? I think that’s going to depend very much on what we all do in the near future.
