Snap, Crackle, POP! with Alec Cumming17 Aug

Here Come The Coveralls! (and other accidental hipsters)

This show features:
- my current long-term Monkees obsession (long live Micky Dolenz and his ongoing love of psychedelia!)
- a buncha great new or new-ish songs, as per usual, if I say so myself
- a really touching, sad and yet melodically catchy song from a father about a son who passed away far too soon
- a sneak peek at an upcoming Gershwin Brothers interview/special (sorry I didn't get to mention it on the air, or even back announce it, I was distracted by my incoming live in-studio guest)
- a last half-hour or so where I have head Zamboni (and host of WPKN's Storied Sounds) Dave Schneider on as my guest, as we talk about The Coveralls' August 22nd gig at Black Rock Porchfest 2026, the Zambonis' upcoming ferryboat excursion (next stop: Port Jeff!) and some upcoming Hanukkah (Chanukah? Xanukah?) magic with the LeeVees this December

Just Another Magic Monday

One of my "new music" shows, which I should probably do more of. Or else I should keep a higher percentage of new-ish material placed alongside the various pop music rabbit holes the show oft burrows ...

It's a very ELECTROFUNK morning with KID GINSENG

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...
