Ello ello ello? Now what's all this then? If you don't tune into the Mosen Explosion, then I shall have to ask you to accompany me to the station...The Mushroom Fm Internet radio station that is, where we have four hours of frivolous, fun, forgettable radio that's interactive and unpredictable.
When I interrogate you, I shall ask, "now do you have a police record?" And you might answer, "yes, Every Breath you Take!"
This week, the “Juke In The Back” looks at how one of R&B’s greatest voices, LaVern Baker, got her start. It’s part two of a two part feature on the early career of LaVern Baker. In part two, we’ll dig on Baker’s prime recording years of 1954-56. She had 4 charting records in ’55, beginning with the crossover smash, “Tweedlee Dee,” which stayed popular for over a year, hitting #4 R&B and crossing over to #14 Pop.
Bonnie’s alive but Bonair isn’t Saturday 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. All of my trainers have taught me “The horse always comes first.” Since horse trainers are sometimes right, I’m taking this advice this week and attending the mandatory staff training at the new barn. This means Bonair is voice tracked. You’ll have the usual magical music, Bonnie banter, and a “Food for Thought”. The only real difference will be I can’t play requests or interact on Twitter, so you may not even notice I’m gone. Sniff sniff.
When you hear the dying strains of Van Halen's Happy Trails signalling the end of The Mosen Explosion, don't touch that PC, that device or that internet radio and join me in The Early Years on Mushroom FM.
Hello, I'm Steve Cutway and I'm no longer Lost in the 50s. I've expanded my musical horizon to include the 60s as well. But I'm the antithesis of Jonathan as I don't tweet and I don't facebook. But you can contact me by e-mail at steve@mushroomfm.com.
Ah, cliches and buzz words, don'tcha just love em? Some come and go, while others arrive and become a permanent part of our lexicon.
I remember a human resources manager...oh wait, that's a buzz word in itself isn't it? Human resources. I mean, what's wrong with staff, or people? Anyway, I remember a human resources manager telling me once that we needed to take a helicopter view of a situation, and I'm so like what the soup?
That’s right, I’m saving daylight again this week in the Shed, from 11pm Eastern tonight, that still 4am in the UK on Sunday, and now 4PM Sunday in New Zealand.
I’ve lost an hours sleep! All in the name of saving daylight.
It’ll mean a few sleepy days, as we adjust to the change yet again.
One thing I don’t need to adjust too however, is hanging out with you all.
Four crazy hours of mayhem and timeless music.
The clock will be ticking, as we have a triple threat to play, and the live and loud segment as well.
Yes, the wind is crisping up and the trees are getting ready to shed their leaves, and we're celebrating (well sort of celebrating) Autumn this week on Come by the Hills, the Celtic Music Show. In reality, we will have a few songs throughout the show that have to do with Autumn or that have an Autumnal tone, but generally, it's just another three hours of some of the best in Celtic music from around the world.
Spring Is in the Bonair—Saturday 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST on Mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music aps. As the northern hemisphere falls into fall, the southern hemisphere springs forward into spring. In addition to the usual Bonnie banter, we will play songs about spring, take your requests, and have a good time. “Food for Thought” is back with a yummy salmon recipe with a green bean side dish, so pull up a chair and listen to Bonair. If you’d like to contact the show, email bonnieatmushroomfm.com or tweet @bonniemosen.
This week, the “Juke In The Back” looks at how one of R&B’s greatest voices, LaVern Baker, got her start. It’s part one of a two part feature on the early career of LaVern Baker. In part one, we’ll dig on Baker’s first recordings from 1949-1954. She began her recording career with Eddie “Sugarman” Penigar Orch in 1949, then recorded a few sides as Little Miss Sharecropper on National Records. She then started singing with Maurice King and His Wolverines and finally with Todd Rhodes on King Records.
