Deep Dive has a total eclipse of the heart

This week we enjoy the outstanding talent and powerful voice of Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. We have heartache, get lost in France, and hold out for a hero.

Tune in at 4 PM Monday Eastern, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Wednesday Eastern, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Just firmly instruct that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and you will be there in the wink of an eye.

Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour, can only be heard on Mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.

Canada Day Celebrations finish, and a new theme begins this week on The Early Years!

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years where and when you'll hear the best music from the first half of the Rock and Roll era with nods to other decades and genres.
I finish playing the #1 songs in Canada on Canada Day between 1976 and 1989.

Coming up on Saturday at the Described Movies: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Romancing the Stone.

Only on Mushroom escape:

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade from 1989 and Romancing the Stone from 1984.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a 1989 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Jeffrey Boam, based on a story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes.

Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers this week on The Juke In The Back!

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.
We throw the word "influential" around a lot on the Juke In The Back, but very few groups can actually claim to have started a sub-genre based on their lead singer. The Teenagers Featuring Frankie Lymon were the first of the "kiddie" lead groups to sing for a teenaged audience. Their tunes had teen themes and when mixed with Lymon's vocals, a brand-new Rock n' Roll vocal group sound was created.

Deep Dive gets the look

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the talents of Swedish band Roxette. We go for a joyride, are sleeping in my car, and spending my time.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Just demand that your SmartSpeaker of choice play Mushroom FM and you will be there in a trice. Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour, heard exclusively on mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.

It's Canada Day, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's edition of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show. Saturday, July 1, is Canada Day, so as we do every year, we'll be celebrating with Canadian songs, stories and more. So, join me for three hours of Folkish Canadiana! The show isn't live this week, and it will not be uploaded to Mixcloud due to licensing restrictions, but I hope you'll enjoy it.

Celebrating Canada Day this week on The Early Years!

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, during which I believe she too will be celebrating Canada Day, as it should be, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years where and when you'll hear the best music from the first half of the Rock and Roll era with nods to other decades and genres.

No Saturday at the Described Movies this week.

With Mushroom Escape currently down, the movies that were to play this weekend, will play next week instead.
If all goes well Escape should be back late Saturday afternoon Central time, however this would not give everyone an opportunity to catch the movies, hence the reason for this change.
Thanks for your understanding

It's a Rock and Roll Themed Song Remembers When!

I know I say this all the time, but I had so much fun creating the playlist for this week's show! Being a presenter on Mushroom FM is truly the best job in the world! What can be better than playing so many of my favorite songs and telling stories? As you may have guessed, this week I feature many songs with rock and roll in their title, or in their lyrics. I do provide plenty of variety however, by also including songs about musicians' lives on the road, hilarious songs about making music by Tod Schneider and weird Al, and even songs by three different TV show groups.
