MLK Day & Indigenous Peoples
MLK Day & Indigenous Peoples
I’m really happy with how the “Gospel Brunch” played out on this week’s show. There is some serious funkness happening in the first half, and the sermon is the closing excerpt from Rev. King’s address at the conclusion of the march from Selma to Birmingham in March 1965.
Prompted by a track by Jeremy Dutcher that I heard on a globalFEST wrap-up episode from NPR Music, I already had tracks from…

Tom Ardolino Celebration
Well, I haven’t posted a new show in a bazillion months, but I want to share this one with you all. Hopefully it will spur me on to more regular posts, but I suppose only time will tell.
For this show I wanted to celebrate the musical legacy of Tom Ardolino, who both arrived and departed in the month of January. I have done a few of these celebrations of Tom and this year I decided to reach out…

PRIDE and Batman
The latest Omnipop Omnibus archive "PRIDE and Batman" (June 11, 2017)
Here we get a pretty funky Gospel Brunch, including a pretty tremendous Rev. J.M. Gates sermon “Kinky Hair is No Disgrace” that has a whole lot of back & forth with his congration. Special thanks and appreciation to Kevin Nutt of “Sinner’s Crossroads” on WFMUfor playing some of the songs & artists I “stole” for this show. If you dig funk, soul, and vocal quartet Gospel, I highly encourage you to…

A Dose of Late Night Omnipop
A Dose of Late Night Omnipop (Monday June 12, 2017)
It was just a little over twenty four hours prior to doing this show and I really didn’t have much of an idea what I was going to play. I had one song I wanted to play, Dream Syndicate’s “Days of Wine and Roses,” but really nothing else. Then, just as I was just getting off the air, we got a call at the station asking me to play some Captain Beefheart. Great idea, but I wasn’t on the air anymore!…

A Multi-Part Celebration of Sun Ra
A Multi-Part Celebration of Sun Ra
I saw the email come in from the station with time slots in need of substitute hosts and saw two jazz shows right around May 30, the 24th anniversary of Sun Ra’s return to Saturn. Of course, I offered immediately to cover both shows.
Part 1 of the celebration is an early evening show from May 30, and is usually more of a “traditional” jazz program (whatever that means – heck, I think it’s all…

Christmas in Hell 2016
The latest Omnipop Omnibus archive: last night's "Christmas in Hell 2016" #christmasmusic #podcast
The second Omnipop Omnibus “Christmas in Hell” show – I guess now it’s an annual tradition! Unfortunately, the guys from whom I stole the idea for the show (and who hosted with me last year), Paul & Ted of Berkshire Radio’s Splatto Hour, were unable to make it, so for this year’s show I invited DJ Ryan Cooke of WOMR’s “Reel Music” show (Saturday nights, 9pm to midnight) to join me in the studio.…

Blues Omnicruise
The latest Omnipop Omnibus archive: "Blues Omnicruise" @WOMRRadio #CommunityRadio #podcast
Until about 20 hours before this show, I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to play or how it would hold together. I think up until now I’ve subbed for just 1 hour of Blues programming, and any time I do a new genre I get a little nervous. Especially during a fund drive show, when I don’t want to piss off any of the show’s regular listeners!
I think I did OK – I tried to focus mostly on 2016…

2016 So Far - Part 2
Omnipop Omnibus Archive: "2016 So Far - Part 2" (July 24, 2016) #WOMRradio
I’ve heard some pretty good stuff that’s come out this year, and I just can’t help but share it with you. A couple of weeks ago I played an entire show of 2016 releases, and I continued the feature on 2016 with this show.
It was also WOMR/WFMR‘s fund drive, and I want to thank all the listeners who called in and pledged their love & support. We surpassed the show goal that had been assigned to me…

I'm Sick & Tired of Feeling Sick & Tired
Omnipop Omnibus Archive: "I'm Sick & Tired of Feeling Sick & Tired" @WOMRradio #BlackLivesMatter #StopTheHate
I’ll telll you, sometimes I start to lose hope for this world, but I’m basically an optimist and I try to see the good and keep my hope alive. A couple of weeks ago I was just fed up with what I was reading in the news – the hate was just getting too oppressive.
I know there is light in the world, and in an attempt to voice some of my frustrations and maybe remind myself of that light, I…

A Remembrance of Memorial Days Past
Omnipop Omnibus Archive: "A Remembrance of Memorial Days Past" (May 29, 2016) #IncredibleCasuals
For the first 12 years or so of my life here on Cape Cod, Memorial Day Weekend meant seeing the Incredible Casuals at the Wellfleet Beachcomber, usually on the Sunday of the weekend. That started the “church” season for many of us, as every Summer Sunday afternoon from about 5pm to 8pm we would congregate at da Coma and rejoice in the music the band offered up to us. There was dancing, drinking,…

2016 So Far - Part 1
Omnipop Omnibus Archive: "2016 So Far - Part 1" (July 10, 2016)
It’s just over half-way through 2016, and I figure it’s a good time to go through the music that I added to my collection this year and play a few of the new-for-2016 songs that made an impact on me. Once I started getting into it, I found I really dug way more than I could fit in one show.
This is the first of what I’m pretty sure will be at least two shows, more likely three, of songs from…

Bring out the Funk for International Women's Day 2016
Omnipop Omnibus archive (Mar 6 2016): Bring out the Funk for International Women's Day 2016 @WOMRradio #IWD2016 #communityradio
March 2016 marks my return to the timeslot where it all started – alternate Sunday afternoons. Originally I started off doing this as a sub for Jay Harrington on his show Sitting In, then I got my own slot on alternate Monday evenings, but I always longed for a return to Sunday afternoons so I could continue on with the Gospel Brunch feature.
This was my first show back, and after the Gospel…

Oh this was a fun one! DJ Matty Dread, WOMR Station Manager and DJ for the Thursday afternoon show The Soul Funky Train went on vacation for a week, so DJ/Chef Tony (Wednesday morning show The Squid Jigger’s Blend) and I seized control of the studio for Matty’s three hour show.
We played some crazy funk & soul and just kept cracking each other up all show. We certainly…

2015 Wrap Up, Part III
Omnipop Omnibus archive "2015 Wrap Up, Part III" @WOMRradio #communityradio
For my first show of 2016 I ended up finding almost another hour or so of music from 2015, most which came from albums that I didn’t play in either of my other Year-End Wrap Up shows.
Joining me in the studio that evening was DJ-in-Training Ashley, who took over control of the DJ mixing board for several songs in the second hour. She should be doing a show on her own pretty darn soon, so be on…
