We’re the Sonic Café, the one, the only, accept no substitutions. I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 427. That was Johnny Winter covering a Rolling Stones classic, Let it Bleed, just marvelous. So ahh welcome to our little coastal radio café, where we bring you a weekly dose of intelligent, eclectic music, comedy and pop culture. This time the Sonic Café spins up a great music mix pulled from the last 51 years. Listen for Iza with her fantastic tune I Put a Spell On You. Also The Greenhornes, Hazel English, a great instrumental jam from Medeski, Martin & Wood, Teenage Fan Club, The Jessica Fletchers and of course more, including another Sonic Café twin spin near the bottom of the hour. Listen for the Emerson, Lake & Palmer classics, Lucky Man from 1970 and Still, you turn me on from 1973’s Brain Salad Surgery album. Great stuff. Oh and just for fun we’ll drop in the classic Jack Nicholson no substitutions scene from the 1970 movie Five Easy Pieces.

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 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)
