Magic and Mystery Abound this week on Come By The Hills!

Shell out! Shell out! There are witches in the air! It is the eve of All Hallows Eve, and on this night before the big night of costumes and candy, Come By The Hills will be exploring some of the deep Celtic roots of this frightening and fun festival. I'll be taking you into the world of elves and fairies, ghosts and witches, myth, magic and mystery, where the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest and strangeness abounds.

It’s Halloween in the Shed.

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the shed!
Oh yes, from 11pm tonight, that’s 3am in the UK, and 4pm here in New Zealand, the Halloween party begins.
The shed has completely transferred itself, with plenty of decorations, and food.
Four hours of music ahead, with a Halloween flavour, and plenty of talk in between.
Want to learn about some of New Zealand’s most haunted places? Tune in, and you will.

The Mosen Explosion takes you on a journey

First, let me say this. "This". OK, having said that, let me say something else. "Something Else".

Now I also want to say that if you are in Europe or the UK, yes I am now making the distinction so I can start getting used to them being separate, the clocks go back this weekend, one week ahead of Eastern US time, which is Mushroom FM's official time zone. Because of that, the Mosen Explosion will start an hour earlier for you if your clocks go back this weekend.

It's not hot air! It's Bonair

It’s not hot air, but Bonair, Saturday 6:00 8:00 p.m. EST on mushroomfm.com and on all your fav music apps. It’s steamy in Phoenix where we are broadcasting from but nice and cool here with the ac. This week is a special show as one of my besties from childhood, Aimee Lewis, who traded the humidity of Florida for the hot desert heat will be co-hosting the show. Our significant others, john and Jonathan will probably chime in as well, so grab a cold drink and a fan and tune in for a trip down memory lane with lots of laughs and lyrics from the playlist.

Halloween Rhythm & Blues comes to The Juke in the Back on Mushroom FM

Matt The Cat experiences some paranormal rhythms coming out of his “Juke In The Back” as we celebrate the truly spooky, sinister and down-right crazy sounds of a vintage rhythm & blues Halloween. Eugene Fox meets the devil, The Hollywood Flames take us to Frankenstein’s Den and Bill Doggett throws a Monster’s Party. It’s a treat, not a trick to hear an alternate take of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ 1956 classic, “I Put A Spell On You,” with EXTRA screaming and a killer sax solo played by Sam “The Man” Taylor.

Join me in The Early Years on Mushroom FM

When you hear the dying strains of Van Halen's Happy Trails signalling the end of The Mosen Explosion for another week, don't touch that PC, that device or that internet radio and join me in The Early Years on Mushroom FM.
Hello, I'm Steve Cutway and my musical horizon is the 50s and 60s. You can contact me any time by e-mail at steve@mushroomfm.com. Requests from the 50s and 60s are welcome but because the show is prepared ahead of time and pre-recorded, I'll play your requests on a future show.

The Mosen Explosion, Travel, and Baseball, and Bananas, oh my!

The Mosen Explosion is just hours away as I write this. Authorities are on alert, and appropriate warnings have been issued. It's the last Explosion for a while in front of all the lovely faders and buttons, as we're busy making a list, checking it twice, and preparing to visit people naughty and nice.

It's Wade Hemsworth's Birthday This Week on Come By The Hills!

And just who, you may as, is Wade Hemsworth? Well, he was the mind behind several Canadian folk songs which people later described as simply "traditional." If you've heard songs such as "The Blackfly Song" or "The Wild Goose," then you've heard Wade Hemsworth's music; And perhaps the best thing of all about Wade Hemsworth is that he was born and raised in my own home town of Brantford Ontario before striking out for places as far-flung as Newfoundland, Northern Ontario, Eastern Quebec, and many other musically interesting spots in this great land of ours.

Breaking News!

Breaking News! No live Bonair this week! Due to an emergency of the Samsonite variety, Bonair—6:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST on Mushroomfm.com and in all your fav apps is pre-recorded. The faithful traveling companion of the Mosen family has a structural flaw making it unwise to travel long distances, so the entire Mosen clan has gathered at a nearby mall to seek out a worthy replacement. Bonnie has stayed up late to insure you have two hours of great music and some usual Bonnie banter, so sit back and enjoy the tunes.

She's Back!

She really Is Back! Bonaire—Saturday 6:00 – 8:00 EST on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. I’m over the worst of my cold and ready to spend two hours with you. I’ll take your requests, tell you what’s been going on, and have a little “Food for Thought”. So, if you’ve missed me tune in, and if not tune in anyway. If you’d like to contact the show, email bonnieatmushroomfm.com or tweet @bonniemosen.
