Serious Spinach

Union Ep 79

 

Hello, I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who listens to the show. Without you guys I'd be talking to myself, even more.

Like a shot of lightning, clarity has come over me and the show is getting a newish format. Still keeping to our Theme and Freeform roots, I'll be adding four new segments to the show.

1. Listener Suggestions Per Theme.

- I'll be giving theme's i'm working on so that listener's can send in their favorite song or band, relating to that theme.

- If your song get's chosen, I'll play it on the air with a shout out.

- Submit your song per theme (Theme word must be in Lyrics or Title or obviously about the theme)

2. Tell Me Why

I go through 1000's of songs each week for any individual episode and I come across bands that are in the genre's or scene's of music I really like, but I just don't like the band.

- I'll be choosing and letting you know what the band and song is (per theme)

- If you like the band, please Tell Me Why or what I'm not hearing.

3. Bands or Solo Artists Road/Tour snafu's

What's your weirdest or just plain odd experience touring on the road?

- Let me know and I'll put it on the air.

(TBD maybe you tell the story and leave on VM)

4. New Music

As with keeping of the tradition of the show to play 33.3% new music each week.

- Will be in one block

And lastly, Serious Spinach and I will be leaving Ear Drum Buzz Radio at the end of the month.

We did it! Our 1st Year Anniversary. Episode #77, Paper

It's been one hell of a year and we all went through a lot together. Thank you for sticking around.

I originally started the show as a podcast to share where I'd been and how I cope using music. That idea and desire led to where we are now, Serious Spinach.

Starting a radio show/podcast is still cheaper than therapy.

This weeks episode brought to you by the word: UGH

It's been an UGH week for news personally or worldly and I just felt the need to SIGH for release. 

If you listened to the WORK episode then you caught a conversation Tom Mayne & Mary Boe (David Cronenberg's Wife) and I had about their friend Trond in Norway.  Well, he passed away last week in his sleep and that was the final straw for me.  

This show I've decided to do something a little different, adding 30% new music and it's EXCITING!
