Sonic Café, that’s from the Best of Mick Jagger, a 2007 compilation of his best solo tracks. So how’s it goin’ anyway? I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 392. This time the Sonic Café takes a look a parenting through the eyes of four comedians who also just happen to be parents. Listen for Jim Gaffigan, Gabriel Iglesisas, Tom Papa and Illiza Shlesinger in something we’re calling the parent trap. So yeah, musically our mix is pulled from 49 years and includes a great cover of 96 tears from the Doughboys, a great downtempo instrumental from the Bobby Hughes Experience, The Wombats, The Heavy, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss and many more including a trip back to 1971 in the Sonic Café time machine. Listen for Chase with there classic Get It On all that and much more as the Sonic Café presents the parent trap this time from that little radio café that overlooks the mighty Pacific in the amazing Pacific Northwest. From 2011 this is Thomas Dolby singing about his evil twin brother, and as always 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)
