The Mosen Explosion is taking a break this week, as I bring you a four-hour tribute to Sir George Martin. It's part of a series of programmes we're running this week to celebrate and commemorate the life of this outstanding producer, arranger, composer and musician.

If you weren't able to catch the first airing of Brian Hartgen's programme where he showcased the work of Sir George outside the Beatles, then I encourage you to head to http://MushroomFM.com/schedule to find out when it replays at a time that works for you.

Hello cherubs! What a week it's been since we last exploded together! What a week! Super Tuesday, Super Saturday, Bonnie and I celebrated the fourth anniversary of our first long conversation when she co-hosted this very show, and and and...House of Cards Season 4! OMG and mega squeeness abounds! Ooooh that Frank Underwood is a nasty piece of work isn't he? I watch the whole 13 episodes of season four back to back I did. Now my sleeping patterns are all exploded.

Well we're not quite at Super Tuesday yet, which those of us following the US Presidential election are awaiting with considerable antici.............pation, but it's super Sunday on Mushroom FM, because every Sunday is super on Mushroom Fm when you're a part of it.

After an enthralling day of US Presidential election watching, I'm back for four more hours of fun, frivolity and forgettable presentation with another Mosen Explosion.
Anything goes this week, but you can look forward to some particularly crazy wacky news, much of it from Florida and Ohio for some reason, and no, none of it has to do with the election.
We have a banana report this week, as there are several bananas experiencing some major life milestones.
Bonnie's here with her bulletin, and I hope you too will be in touch with your phone calls, tweets and emails.

This week, for valentine's day, we celebrate with the music of love. In those early stages of love, where you suddenly notice that the birds are singing, where the flowers seem to have become more fragrant, when you lose your appetite, music can be incredibly powerful. There's that song that just connects right with your heart in a way that leaves you in no doubt that its composer must have been thinking of your situation when it was written.

There are songs of love that isn't shared, where the person of your dreams doesn't know you exist.

It just so happens that the next Mosen Explosion will be aired on Valentine's day. We'll be dispensing with the wacky news and the history to bring you four hours of fantastic love songs, and I'd love it if you were involved in choosing what we play.

Whether the person that haunts your dreams has been with you for 6 months or 60 years, whether they're by your side or far away, love is something to celebrate and cherish.

Once again, Super Bowl Sunday has rolled around, and I'd just like to say, go Yankees!

Whether you intend watching the game for the sport, the ads, the half-time entertainment or you're going to skip the thing altogether, the Mosen Explosion is here ahead of time to get you warmed up for whatever comes next.

I'll be playing a few songs about both states competing for the ultimate prize in StopStart, and if you have any favourite songs about either state, get them into me via email, Twitter, and of course on the Mosen Line at 206-600-5486 which you can call any time.

Sadly, Brian Dalton is away this weekend, so he can't welcome you to it. He sent a note though. Anne Cosgrove is out of the zone this week, and she also sent a note.

What to do, what to do. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so Mushroom FM in much desperation announces a four hour weekend welcoming, exploding zone.

When the Mosen Explosion is heard in the US, UK and lots of other places, it will be 31 January. 31 January? I mean like, dude! That is like totally last month! It'll be February in New Zealand by then, so we look forward to exploding you into next month with four fun hours.
I'm out of minimalist vacation mode now, so the wacky news is back, and there's even a banana report. Bonnie will be here with her bulletin. Musically, it's wide open this week, after a series of tribute shows in January.

Hi everyone, we always enjoy pushing the boundaries and doing some cool new things for our new year event. This year, for those of you who'd like to see as well as hear the party, we'll be offering it as a video stream on Live Stream. The audio will be the same as you hear on Mushroom FM, except that it is in mono, so if you don't need the audio, you'll still get a much better experience on Mushroom FM itself.
