Snap, Crackle, POP! with Alec Cumming8 Mai 2018

We All Remember Comfort Food (Music)

If you start at the very beginning (which is a very good place to start) with these Snap Crackle POP! shows/podcasts, you'll notice I am mainly doing fill-ins, many of them in the wee hours. At the time, I was working a low-self esteem job where the hours were very... well, lets call them variable. So I was frequently doing overnight shifts there, and my sleep hours were all fakakta, and plus... the "romantic" ideal I had of the lonely overnight DJ really appealed to me (cf. the cover of Donald Fagen's The Nightfly).

A lot of this music is what I'd call - for myself - "comfort-food music". For better or worse, many of these songs are regulars on my shows to this day...

Woooo! A salute to Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon and to the post-Elvis-Army/pre-Beatles era

I hope it doesn't seem odd to have a "Wooo!" in this podcast's headline, in terms of the fact that our honoree - early '60s rocker Freddy Cannon - passed away this previous weekend. He was a "Wooo!" k...
