1983! The forgotten year of the 80s! Pethie started a tradition of us doing shows based on the age of WPRB. So WPRB had its 83rd birthday in December so this is our 1983 show! we missed 1982 which is TOO BAD but we're ready to do extra good by 83! And remind you about the magic and importance of community supported no holds barred freeform radio!

Hi everyone, I'm having a wild week/weekend so here's a show I prepared a while back! A friend kind of randomly started asking for songs that feature these hair dye colors and I came up with a bunch!
ALSO: special guest RIVKA (part of the reason I am so busy) will choose a song or two!
here are ways to stay in touch/stay informed of future shows:

Hi everyone! It's 10 years (and 2 cities and 3 radio stations) since I started this radio show on WXOJ-LP, Valley Free Radio back on February 15, 2014! I'm reprising my first, hilariously broad topic, LOVE GONE WRONG AND LOVE GONE RIGHT! and looking back at what has and hasn't changed since that innocent time.
I'll also be making a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT about a future radio event to celebrate Uneasy Listening's 10th year on the air!
And finally at 10pm: DANCE PARTY/CAN PARTY (RIP Damo Suzuki)
If you're up for 10 more years of this nonsense, join the e-mail list and/or facebook group!

Here is songs about parts of a house! This was a surprisingly fertile topic with a decent number of songs and a very high proportion of really good songs, so there will be a part 2 some day! And I've already done shows about doors, windows, underground things and rooms so I used up a bunch of songs that way! Isn't music great, now really.

Good morning! It's me I'm here it's me. The temperature and light in the Factory of Hope are ideal and I'm having some mint green tea. These children enjoying a nice breakfast pate in the mountains reminds me of the part in spellbound when Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman are having a picnic in the mountains and he ask her if she'd like ham or liverwurst and she rapturously replies LIVERWURST

In memory of Philly native singer-songwriter Essra Mohawk, it's a show of songs with interjections in them! Because she cowrote and sang the Interjections song from Schoolhouse Rock. I took out some biggies like yeah, oh, and hey for future shows and I've already done yes, no, hello, goodbye and oh no!
Then at in my final hour I'll play one song that only has an interjection in the title, not the lyrics. And of course a bunch of brand new music!
