Sonic Café, that’s Cake with Federal Funding, which is exactly what we could use to pay the bills around here. So hey welcome, I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 231, thanks for joining me on another trip into the delusional world of our little radio café. This time the Sonic Café presents a music mix pulled from 47 years. Listen for Phish, The Heavy, Dave Matthews, Kate Bush, Cloud Nothings and more. We’ll also play Time from Pink Floyd at the bottom of the hour, because we felt it was about time. So listen for that. Then comedian Joe Zimmerman stops by to help us prepare for the worst-case scenario in almost any scenario. Oh and a government bailout sized welcome to our newest sponsor the hot, new computer game, Civil Service. Jack up utility prices, gerrymander-voting districts, seize property under eminent domain and much more, with Civil Service, the incredible bureaucratic simulation game that let’s you live the life of a real civil servant. All that and more just ahead from the radio program that gives you more. More music, More comedy More pop culture, and More of everything else… whatever that means. 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 from KYAQ radio located 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 Friday. 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)
