PLAYLIST FOR “APRIL FOOL!”(AN ARCHIVE REBROADCAST) 4.3.26

5 Apr

Well, if you were expecting a new show this week, the joke was on you. I dipped back into the archives for a classic…well, okay, an old show. Happy now? Here’s what I wrote about the show back then:

Sure, I promised my audience a special April 1st show with a new recording of Rod Stewart singing “Nessun Dorma,” a YouTube video of The Boy’s Choir of Galway Cathedral singing in Gaelic, “99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall,” plus a bootleg from a Joni Mitchell recording session where Joni is aiming a profanity-lace rant at her assistant who gave her the wrong bottle of spring water. Okay, that stuff I couldn’t deliver. But a couple hours of songs about fools and foolishness was a foolproof formula for a great April Fools Day show.

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.
