Sonic Café that’s the legendary Joe Walsh, so hey welcome to the café, I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 449. This time the Sonic Café spins up a music mix that’s fit for a King and for Queen. Listen for the Black Cat from Band of Heathens, Butch Walker, Blues Traveler. Also punk rocker Sid Vicious, from 1978’s Sid Sings, listen for My Way, the song Frank Sinatra made famous. Sid’s take on the song is ahh slightly different. Also listen for Believe it or not, a new semi-regular feature here at the Sonic Café. Also Booker T and the MG’s with Green Onions from 1967, also from the 70’s when AM Radio was still red hot, we’ll spin Andrew Gold with his hit Thank You for Being a Friend. Oh and near the bottom of the hour the Sonic Café presents another tune from our mash-up collection. This time a mash of Queens Fat Bottom Girls with Lynryd Skynrd’s Sweet Home Alabama. So there’s that, So all that and from that little radio café way out here in the Pacific Northwest. From 1981 this is Heaven 17 with a message we agree with, this is We don’t need this Fascist Groove Thang, 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)
