Nothing like wonderful power, I say.
Referring to electricity of course, it’s sorta kinda important, you know.
And due to its absence last week, which meant I was also absent , but the power is back and so am I!
From 11PM Eastern tonight, that’s 4AM Sunday morning in the UK, 5PM Sunday afternoon here in New Zealand, I’m here to power my way through four hours of music, Madness, Mayhem, and everything in between.
The triple threat, and Live and Loud segments make a powerful return, but wait of course there is more.

It’s the post Valentine’s Day post Grammy Bonair, Saturday, 6:00 – 8:00 EST on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. Since I was enjoying a lovely Valentine’s lunch with my sweetheart last week while Anne with an E held down the fort, we will play some love songs and take some post Valentine’s dedications if you like. We will also be featuring music from the Grammy’s—including Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Adele, and of course—my personal fav, “Uptown Funk.” “Food for Thought” is back, and who knows what else might happen on the show.

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.

It’s Bonair, the post Groundhog Day edition, on air Saturday 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST right here on www.mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. The groundhog didn’t see his shadow, so I can’t guarantee an early spring or fall—depending on which side of the globe you spin on, but I can guarantee a fun filled show with lots of good tunes and conversations. As seems to be happening all too frequently this year, we will once again remember a musical personality that has passed on by playing some Earth Wind and Fire in memory of Maurice White.

It’s the first Saturday of the month and that means it is time to join your fellow readers round the world to discuss January’s Fun Guys book club selection “Red Rising” by Pierce Brown. The discussion will commence noon EST and at the end of the chat brian Hargen will announce February’s book. To participate please visit www.mushroomfm.com/bookclub. As always, highlights of the discussion will air in the second hour of Bonair which will be on from 6:00 – 8:00 EST later the same day.

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.

Goodness, that’s just over three hours from now!
Are you ready?
Four hours of mayhem and madness, will kick off from 11PM Eastern tonight.
That’s 4AM Sunday in the UK, and 5PM Sunday here in good old New Zealand.
There are plenty of opportunities to get in requests as well.
All you need to do is e-mail:
anthony at mushroomfm dot com
Or find me on Twitter: @kiwisnake
The usual features are there of course, as well as plenty of ramblings from me.
Hope you can join me in the shed later tonight.

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.
