Well we're not quite at Super Tuesday yet, which those of us following the US Presidential election are awaiting with considerable antici.............pation, but it's super Sunday on Mushroom FM, because every Sunday is super on Mushroom Fm when you're a part of it.

That’s right, from Saturday night, 11PM Eastern, 4AM Sunday in the UK and 5Pm Sunday afternoon here in New Zealand, it’s time to leap into the shed, for four hours of music madness, and whatever else you can think of.
We’ll be leaping all over the place as usual with the music selection, but we’ll have our feet firmly on the ground for the usual features.
So why not leap on over to your keyboard and send in a request before the show, or better still, leap on over to the keyboard and send one during the show.

Cover your eyes from the glare—it’s a squeaky clean Bonair, Saturday 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. on www.mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. In addition to playing your fav tunes, we will give a report on the cleaning service we have employed at Mosen Towers, have another dish for “Food for Thought” and an announcement concerning the Fun Guys book club. Pull up your favourite chair, put the political candidates on mute, and join other listeners for fun and frivolity.

After an enthralling day of US Presidential election watching, I'm back for four more hours of fun, frivolity and forgettable presentation with another Mosen Explosion.
Anything goes this week, but you can look forward to some particularly crazy wacky news, much of it from Florida and Ohio for some reason, and no, none of it has to do with the election.
We have a banana report this week, as there are several bananas experiencing some major life milestones.
Bonnie's here with her bulletin, and I hope you too will be in touch with your phone calls, tweets and emails.

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.
