Hi all, it’s been a while, but finally I’m back.
It’s the usual one hour of great Mushroom Memories from all four decades, but at a new time.
You can hear me every week day, from 10am Eastern repeating at 10pm Eastern.

Hope you can tune into Anthony Unleashed, and see if I break anything!

Yes, you read this correctly. We've got a cover of the famous Peter Gabriel tune on "Celtic Covers," and that's all thanks to a new (to us at least) album by the amazing Canadian Celtic band called Coig. We'll also have a lot of great music from a lot of other great bands and artists, and we'll generally have an amazing time as always.

So, if you've got Celtic cravings, tune in tonight after Steve and the Early Years, or catch the replay on Friday at 4:00 AM Eastern, 9:00 AM in the UK and Ireland, right after Jonathan and The Daily Fibre!

Join me for The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best variety of music from the 50s and 60s with an occasional nod to other decades, including music from before the rock era which is generally accepted as starting in 1955.
This week's show is packed with twin spins, version comparisons, same title different song pairs and one of my jaw-dropping songs.

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.

Here's a short blog entry. We're in the midst of a long weekend here in Canada, so it gives me an excuse to get out all the long songs and devote a show to them. Really, that's all there is to it. For the purposes of the show, anything over five minutes qualifies as a long song. So, if you're keen on Celtic music and want a big dose of it this week, tune in on Sunday night after Steve and The Early Years, or on Friday morning at 4:00 AM Eastern, after Jonathan and The Daily Fibre!

After 14 theme shows and a replay, I'm back to regular shows this week and it feels good. That doesn't mean I won't do more theme shows in the future; I will, but a change is as good as a rest.

Yes, at long last Loreena McKennitt's new album, Lost Souls, has dropped, and we've got it this week on Come by the Hills! We'll be playing the album in its entirety throughout the show, and we'll have lots of other great music as well.

It's Mother's Day in North America so this week, it's 50s and 60s songs for moms, mamas and mas, but no mummies!
I'm way beyond the gold for this show. You'll hear songs you may not have heard in a long time if ever, and songs you may not want to hear again.

We’re celebrating Stevie Wonder’s 67th birthday this week on The Mosen Explosion. He’s our featured artist, and mate, there’s no shortage of Stevie classics for us to play. Got a particular favourite? Tweet, phone, or email me your request.

Bonnie is back with another action-packed bulletin, I’ll be talking about my latest epic health experiment, we’ll have plenty of great conversation about whatever comes up during the show, and we’ll look back on this cay in history.
