A little out of order, but I have a few older shows to share with you on here.
Tune in this Monday night, December 2, 2019 for a compilations special. I have 100s of comps and only two hours to share a few tasty treats with you. See you on the radio.
Radio is my creative outlet. Every week I get a two hour empty canvas on which I can paint tunes that allow the listener to travel to a time and space where they can float, unaware of the responsibilities that lay around them, waiting to be picked up once again following the closing of my show. I hope you have the ability to lay down your weary lists, and just listen for a short time.
We all need to take back some of our precious time. The last thing I want to do is go to my death bed saying “if I only crossed one more item off that list”. Now is the time to live, and yes, of course be your responsible self. But may I please request that every Monday night, between 8-10PM you set it all down and pick up a little bit of Hell?
Thanks a ton. I think this show is a perfect example of what I can offer from week to week. I think I’m counting ten distinctive genres spread throughout this playlist. And the second hour has a few live cuts sprinkled in for good effect.
Take a look, take a listen, and join me Monday at 8. You never know what you’re going to hear, and I like it like that.
Enjoy.

Oooooooohhhhhh weeeeeeeee It’s time for my 9th annual Annual Annual!!!!!
I live for this time of year.
For the ninth consecutive year I’m taking a night to focus on one year that was chock full of tasty tunes. For this show it’s all about 1969. Atlanta Music Festival, Woodstock, Altamont, Moon Landing, Nixon!
The final year of a tumultuous decade saw a lot of bands on the wane and a few starting out. The music scene was diverging as proto-punk bands were emerging, while funk and country were defining themselves more succinctly.
As always there is too much in my library to make the perfect two hour show; I merely scratched the surface, which means next week I’ll have 1969 left overs to share!
Speaking of left overs, enjoy the week, and care for yourselves and those around you. Let’s find a way to treat each other with kindness during this time of insecurity. We deserve better.

My first hour features that latest from my live music collection. I cannot believe how much amazing live music I have accessed these past few weeks. If I didn’t also purchase vinyl on a semi-weekly basis I would consider hosting an all-bootleg show.
As much as I love playing music for you week-to-non-consecutive-these-days-week, I also really love interviewing guests. I really really enjoy it when the conversation is about sex and relationships. In the second hour of my recent show I was lucky to welcome the host of Sexploration with Monika, Monika Thomas, and clinical sexologist – author – lecturer Francesca Gentille to talk about tantric sex, communication, and a hot show coming up Saturday, November 23rd, that you can get a discount to. Go here for the tickets and enter HELL10 for a 10% discount.
The show looks detectible, featuring a 5-Course Gourmet dinner in a CATHEDRAL and the theme is sacred sexual exploration… everything from tantra to bondage nuns, with burlesque and bellydancing and a sing-along.
This reminds me, Monday, November 25th I’ll be hosting my Ninth annual Annual Annual!!! Two great hours from one year. I’m still not sure what year I’ll be playing yet, but you can bet the tunes will NOT be the hits. Tune in Monday night 8-10 to get an earful.
See you on the radio.
