Greetings! The holiday partying season is almost upon us, so what better way to celebrate than to crack out a few disco classics! We'll do just that in the Pop Vault this week with a little help from Abba, Mark Ronson and Katrina & The Waves. We'll also take time to appreciate the Moulettes' latest album and perhaps speculate as to one or two of their musical influences. We may even squeeze in a festive favourite to help inspire your votes for the grand Mushroom FM Christmas Countdown! Sounds like a pretty packed hour to me.

At Mushroom FM, we've always been full of fun at the festive season. This year, we're keeping up much cherished Mushroom FM traditions, while at the same time freshening them up with a few twists. We have plenty to unveil over the next little while, but today we're proud to announce our 2015 holiday countdown.

Listeners who've been part of the Mushroom Crowd for a while will remember that we launched this countdown tradition in 2011. In 2012, we improved on it even further. And this year, it's a spectacular.

The Shed is opening up again in less than an hour!
That’s right, tonight at 11 Pm Eastern, that’s 5 PM Sunday in New Zealand, and 4 AM in the UK, I’ll be back. What a scary thought.
I’ll be back to talk about my week, play a triple threat, and another live and loud segment, and of course your requests are welcome.

Oh boy! I am looking forward to getting behind that microphone this week. But I look forward to getting behind that microphone every week. This week though, we have plenty of awesomeness on the show. First of all, Mushroom FM's first big event since our return will be unveiled. And it's a really good one. It could totally change your Christmas for the better.

Every year on Mushroom FM, the perennial question comes up. When shall we start playing Christmas music? When?

Don’t touch that dial! It’s Bonair rocking the radio waves Tuesday 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. EST on www.mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. This week’s theme is radio and television, so all our music will have radio or tv in the title or lyrics. We’ll reflect on our favourite and least favourite tv shows, radio personalities, and stations, along with hearing your thanksgiving plans. We won’t have a turkey in “Food for Thought” but we will have another tasty dish. I have come down from my Mt.

We are back, back we are, for another edition of the Mosen Explosion, another Mosen Explosion edition.

At 11pm Eastern tonight, that’s 5 Pm Sunday afternoon in new Zealand, and 4 AM Sunday morning in the UK, the Shed opens up yet again.
The triple Threat is back, so is the Live and Loud Segment.
Plenty of music, from all over the place as usual, in other words, madness.

Spring has finally sprung in the coolest little capital, so join me for a springy, bouncy Bonair this Tuesday 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. EST on www.mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. We will sample Dijon mustard chicken from the Mosen oven in “Food for Thought”, find out how everyone is doing with this month’s book club selection, plus play any requests you may have.

Consider yourself cleared for entry into Paskell's Pop Vault here on Mushroom FM today from 12 pm Eastern, 9 AM Pacific and 5 PM GMT (London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast, Lisbon and more). This week, our pop path will take in the 60's, punk, modern folk rock with a little unblemished noughties' pure pop, so there's sure to be a discovery in the mix to delight you in our hour together.
