Sonic Café, with the Man Who Sailed Around His Soul, that’s XTC from 1986. So welcome to the cafe, a place where we play our own intelligent, eclectic kinda music with comedy and pop culture tossed in the mix for fun. I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 302. This time the Sonic Café mixes up a batch of tunes pulled from 43 years. Listen for the Black Keys, Liz Phair, Warren Zevon, Talking Heads, Kings of Leon and more, including dinosaur rock from Uriah Heep. From way back in 1973 we’ll spin up a track from the Sweet Freedom LP. Listen for Stealin near the bottom of the hour. Then comedian Zoltan Kaszas prefers cats, why? because dog energy kinda’ creeps him out. Also comedian Taylor Tomlinson gives us a glimpse of what higher education is like at her community college. All that plus a word from our newest sponsor Pit Bomb. When you’re fighting the war against smelly armpits, bust out the heavy artillery. Pit Bomb, it’s like napalm for your skin. All that and more straight ahead from that little radio café way out here in the Pacific Northwest, here’s Don Henley from the Inside Job album. This is Miss Ghost 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 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 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)
