Sonic Café, First Impressions Of Earth music there from the Strokes, so ahh hey welcome to another hour of intelligent, eclectic music, comedy and pop culture. It’s a thing we call the Sonic Café, this is episode 239 and I’m your host Scott Clark. This time the Sonic Café brings you a batch of tunes pulled from the last 40 years. Listen for the bari-sax of Ronnie Cuber, plus Garbage from their 2016 Strange Little Birds release, then Audioslave, Future Islands, The Mighty Bop and of course many more. Then later the Sonic Café brings you another classic movie moment, from 1975’s Month Python and the Holy Grail, we’ll present the Constitutional Peasants scene, where a group of politically woke peasants challenge King Arthur’s authority to rule them. Just thinking about it makes me feel a bit repressed. Ahh, and still later comedian Jerry Seinfeld takes us to meet the pharmacist at his local drug store. All that, plus some other neat stuff too, straight ahead from that little café on the big blue Pacific coast, a place where we strive to make radio fun again, 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)
