American Pie, Madonna… yes Madonna… covering the 1971 Don McLean classic here at the Sonic Café. Thanks for joining us for episode 155. I’m your host Scott Clark. This time the Sonic Café takes it old school baby… I mean we always take it old school, but this time more old school than all those other times. Listen as comedian Jeff Allen tells us about the America he grew up in… before, as he puts it before the lawyers took over. Plus a mix of tunes about America pulled from over 35 years. Listen for Cat Stevens, Annie Lennox, Leon Russell, The Guess Who, Green Day and many more folded into a mix of nostalgic ramblings from back in the day. Oh and a big Sonic Café shout out to our newest sponsor. Listen for a few words from the new, old school book that’s sweeping the nation. Hitting Kids Works Wonders… from child behavior psychologist and former US marine Allen McLean. All that and of course more this time as we take it old school, from that little café on the big blue Pacific coast, 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 “I 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, instead 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)
