Just like mediocre coffee from the 70s, the taste of this episode is guaranteed to send you into a brown, tan and grey psychdelic vision! it's songs about tastes and flavors.

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)

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!

Honey, it's in the 40s! Welcome to 2024. I'll be playing a bunch of pretty poppy and mellower stuff but I mean, it's still me! Commie Francis! So there may be some distorted guitars etc.

Happy New Year's Eve! This might be the punkest/heaviest Honey It's the Twenties show yet, clearing the way for the All Mellow New Year's Day show tomorrow 10am-noon!
If you're new here I've been playing music from the 2020s for a bit now. Starting with my favorites of 2023 show Saturday before last at 11 I've been on the radio 5 times playing 10 hours of music from this decade, and I really haven't strayed far at all from the rock/punk realm. 2 more shows to go! I could do this practically forever!
