Sonic Café, Tied Up, that’s Dirty Honey there to kick off the show. So ahh welcome, I’m you're your host Scott Clark and this is episode 390. Propaganda, all governments use it on there enemies, and there own people too. Shockingly even the good old United States, all with the goal of controlling how we think and feel about an issue. This time the Sonic Café proves it. Listen for an example of hundreds of local newscasters from TV stations across America planting ideas in our heads by all reading from the exact same script. It’s kind of chilling to hear it in action, so yeah. Our eclectic music mix is pulled from the last 55 years. Listen for Freddie Mercury and Queen from 1974, also The Cure, Fleshtones, The Wombats, The Pretenders Santana featuring Aerosmith lead man Steven Tyler and of course many more, including a trip in the Sonic Café time machine back to 1968, we’ll spin Lemon Pipers, listen for Green Tambourine near the bottom of the hour. All that plus some other neat stuff tucked in for fun, straight ahead, from that little radio café way out here in the Pacific Northwest, from Nashville Tennessee, here’s the Pink Spiders, Freakin’ Out, and we’re the Sonic Café.

About the Producer:
Scott Clark has always had a lot of music in his life. Growing up outside of Chicago, he was mesmerized early on by the radio of the sixties and seventies and began collecting records at a very early age. From 45’s and LP’s to cassettes and CD’s and now digital… he really never stopped. Today everything in his library is digitized because he got sick of lugging all that stuff around.
The concept for the Sonic Café is to deliver the high production values and feel of the radio he grew up listening to. But unlike the tight, repetitious playlists of those commercial stations, feature a massive range of artists, genres and tunes. The whole idea is to package it in an eclectic, engaging, no repeat format that brings both new and old together in a unique, entertaining, and most importantly fun and fast paced way. There’s really nothing on the radio today, or in the past, that compares with it.
About the Sonic Café:
The show is set in an imaginary cafe overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Central Oregon Coast. The cafe serves up eclectic, intelligent music, comedy and pop culture. The program originates on the Oregon coast in the Pacific Northwest, so the imagery is not a huge stretch.
Each program is 58:00 minutes in length leaving room for station ID, promos and PSAs. Each episode is .mp3 encoded at a constant rate of 256kbps and ready for broadcast.
An episode is released each week. All episodes are evergreen; never focusing on time of year, weather, month, holidays, events etc. so each show is timeless. All music is presented in a no repeat format. Once a song airs in an episode it never airs again. Episodes may be downloaded and grouped together to quickly create program blocks of two, three, four or more hours in length.
The Sonic Cafe has a Facebook page (facebook.com/SonicCafeRadio) where complete show notes and playlists are presented for each episode. Listeners can also reach the show producers via email (SonicCafeRadio@gmail.com)
