Sonic Café... taking over the world one episode at a time… it’s a slow process but we’re making progress, so ahh, welcome, I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 189. This time the Sonic Café presents a music mix covering thirty years. We kick it old school with tunes from the late Rick Ocasek and the Cars, Daryl Hall and Robert Fripp with Something in 4/4 Time, Bonnie Raitt, Santana and David Bowie asking if there’s life on Mars. Also great jazz from the late, great sax man James Moody, captured in 1996 on Clint Eastwood’s After Hours: Live at Carnegie Hall with a tune called Parker’s Mood. Then later the Sonic Café features the dry wit of comedian Demetri Martin… oh and great big Sonic Café welcome to our newest sponsor. Listen for a word from Aron’s List… hire a non-violent sex offender for your next home improvement project with Aron’s List. All that and of course more this time from that little café that brings you a weekly dose of intelligent, irreverent, eclectic radio from the beautiful Oregon 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 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.
w
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)
