Another week has flown by. There seems no way of stopping it I tell you! And we’re about to inflict another four hours of The Mosen Explosion on an unsuspecting world. Can you cope? Can I?

On today’s show, happy birthday Bob Seger, blowing out 73 night moves. Ooh he’s done some good stuff! Oooh yes he has. And if you have a particularly epic Bob Seger song you want me to play, well then, you know the drill. Email me, tweet me nicely, because as I always say, we should always tweet people as we would want to be tweeted, or you can call the jolly old listener line.

Join me in The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best variety of music from the 50s and 60s with a nod to the 70s, including music from before the rock era which is generally accepted as starting in 1955.

Well, as this past Tuesday was the first day of May, I thought it fitting that Mushroom FM's premier Celtic Music Show, affectionately known as Come by the Hills, should honour the customs of this magical time again this year. Yes, it's back by popular demand! We've got a salute to Padstow Cornwall and its May celebrations, a spotlight on songs about the Cuckoo, which is a bird that heralds the coming of summer in Europe, and lots of songs about Spring and may-time and whatever else I can think of.

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

As a confirmed geek from way back, I love reading the latest tech news. In January 2018, I decided to start a daily Internet radio show on Mushroom FM called The Daily Fibre. It blends the latest tech news with a great mix of music from the 50s through the 80s.

It's been very popular, but there's been one frequent request. "Can you please make this available as a podcast?”

The Daily Fibre is Mushroom FM's technology magazine show. Heard every week day at 3 AM US Eastern time, then again at 3 PM Eastern, The Daily Fibre brings you the latest technology news, with some of the greatest musical memories thrown in the mix as well.

Monday's edition of the Daily Fibre is another special. Microsoft is beginning the release of the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. Since this is the operating system that powers most of the world's desktops and laptops, it's a big deal, and it's the only story we're covering on this edition of the show.

This week, it's the final part of the countdown of the greatest songs of the 50s and 60s according to Rolling Stone Magazine. I have 21 songs to play and I'll start at #24 and continue to #1. What will it be?
You can contact me with comments and suggestions for future shows, particularly your jaw-dropping songs for a future show I'm working on. More about that on this week's show.

Yet again, relentlessly and mercilessly, The Mosen Explosion is preparing to disrupt your airwaves at 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK time, bright and early at 6 AM in New Zealand.

Yes, it's time once again for another three hours of great Celtic music on Mushroom FM! This week, there's a brand new version of a very special (to me at least) song I wrote some years ago in "Me Music," another new song from Loreena McKennitt's upcoming album which is due out on May 11, some classic folk song-related comedy from Anna Russell instead of "Celtic Covers," and even a salute to ANZAC Day which happened on April 25.
