Sonic Café, that’s the Honeydripper, a Baby Woodrose tune from 2003. So welcome to the café, I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 429. This time the Sonic Café presents a really cool music mix pulled from 50 years in a thing we’re calling bad robot. You’ll get why at the end of the show. Musically we’ve got Joan Jett who doesn’t just play Rock and Roll Rock n Roll, she lives it. Also Bobby Womack from the American Gangster release. Leon Russell’s classic, A Song For You. Graham Parker, waiting for UFO’s, John Newman from 2013, Kris Rodgers and the Dirty Gems covering Elton John. Even Jimi Hendrix from 1970, and of course many more. Then an important public service announcement encouraging all stupid people to get out the vote, it’s ahh what makes America great. Oh and before we forget, a surgically precise welcome to our newest sponsor. Listen for a word Auto Health Hospital; providing the latest care, entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence. They already have 3,000 locations, and are assimilating more each day, so you’ll have one soon. What could possibly go wrong, right?

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)
