I impulsively promised this theme on Thursday and forgot I already did it in 2017! But it's OK, there are plenty of songs and also my radio show has just entered it's 13th year (ie it just turned 12) so hey I'M GOING FOR IT.
p.s. i'm not playing pat boone unless you REALLY WANT ME TO. nothing against pat boone.

EPIC THEME continues. It's themes all the way down folks.
Last Wednesday my friend DJ Slack Kerouac from Valley Free Radio challenged me to do a theme of songs with full sentences for titles. EASY. I've been on the radio the past 2 hours doing this, now I will do it for 3 more hours in the classic Uneasy Listening/Transistor Sister format.

my parents listen to my show and have good taste in music, but they don't like really aggressive harsh sounds in their delicate boomer ears. so i often let them know if my show is going to be parent-friendly or not. well this show is NOT parent friendly. i was already setting out to do a hardcore punk heavy show and the news of the day has only made me more aggro so here we go.

welcome to 2026! well what have we got here. another messed up year. it would be nice if this is the one where we throw off the yoke of our oppressors but well yeah, yknow....
anyway as is tradition i've collected one song i didn't play for each lyrical theme i did this year. i did less themed shows than normal so there might be some extra songs for a couple of topics plus an extended dance party at the end just like there was on my regular show!
