Wow! The first actual weekend of actual December is actually almost upon us! Can you believe it? Black Friday's over and the real run-up to the holidays has begun! Why not take some time this actual weekend to actually vote in the Mushroom FM Holiday Countdown? You now have less than two weeks to vote for your top ten holiday tunes. If you have already voted, thank you so much for helping to make the season bright for all our Mushroom friends, and if you haven't voted, there is still time and we'd love to hear your Countdown picks!

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.
The juke is jumpin' with records focusing on classic R&B songs about cars. The automobile is a "road tested" symbol of the American Dream. We have all this land and the car gives us the freedom to get from one place to another. We'll dig on some tunes about Cadillacs, Buicks, Mercurys and Model Ts.

After you've enjoyed The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 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 quarter century of Rock with occasional nods to other decades and genres.

It's Jonathan Mosen, inviting you to join me this Wednesday, December 3rd, for a very special edition of The Mosen Explosion as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Beatles' groundbreaking album, Rubber Soul.

Mushroom FM is a place where no elf is left on the shelf, and that goes double for our Holiday Countdown and Christmas Party! Elves are involved at every stage of the process, from counting your votes to arranging the seating in our lovely Portobello Hall to awarding Crackers on the big day itself! So, if you haven't done so yet, give and elf some elf-esteem and cast your vote for your top ten holiday tunes! Get all the Countdown details at https://mushroomfm.com/countdown2025!

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the reggae sounds of Birmingham musicians UB40. We drink red red wine, have a rat in mi kitchen and start groovin'.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is the next morning in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is evening time in Eastern Australia. Joining is easy. Just tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom and you will be there faster than Santa's slay.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know that Come by the Hills is launching itself with reckless abandon into the festive season this week! I'll also be playing some Scottish tunes in honour of St. Andrew's Day today, and of course I'll be discussing this year's holiday countdown here on Mushroom FM. As if that weren't enough, I have a new musical discovery to share: a sister-duo from Sweden called First-aid Kit! So, come and hang out, mull up that wine and mince up those pies, and let's get festive!

It’s back for a limited time. It’s new and improved, … Okay, so maybe not, but it’s the mostly annual Country Oasis Christmas show. I’ve got a lot of old favorites along with some new things, and a surprise song. And, it’s going to be live on MushroomFM at noon Eastern tomorrow, (that’s Sunday). A huge thank you to Darren, who has given up his regular show spot for me so that I can do this.

You may have heard a rumor... I'm very happy to confirm it is true! This Sunday, November 30, from 4-6 pm Eastern, The Song Remembers When will be presented live on Mushroom FM for the first time! Join me for some leftover songs from the "performances" show (isn't this a great time for leftovers?) I will also play a Thanksgiving song or two, and will definitely begin to play holiday music since Thanksgiving has passed.
