After slaying on the battlefields of Rock, suddenly presenting as a GENTLEMANLY WIZARD of ambient electronics may seem a curious turn, but an artist as multifaceted as GREG LISHER simply cannot be pinned down! * Yet, that is precisely what we will attempt to do when we put him in the HOT SEAT and grill him on the details of how he transformed from a DEBAUCHED Rockin' Road Warrior into the deep and PENETRATING electronic artiste heard on his latest album Underwater Detection Method! * It may get LURID, it may get bloody, but do not turn away from the FASCINATING insights sure to be revealed in our (heh heh) friendly interrogation beginning in the second hour of OFF THE HOOK

WHO NEEDS A HUG? * At the end of a week surely one of the rottenest since January -one that has instilled alarm, fear and sadness, courtesy of our commander-in-grief-, now the Fates have added injury to insult by taking from us two of the most INFLUENTIAL AND BELOVED creators in all of music: SLY STONE and BRIAN WILSON. * We offer our tribute to the latter on today's OFF THE HOOK, along with new music and the Birthday Segment. * Sometimes you just need a hug from someone who understands.

3) attempted to make false entries into Spinitron -all above-board accounting, y'all! *

4) attempted to influence an erection -OFF THE HOOK has no control over the reaction of listeners! *

My listener, The MUSIC SNOB: The music he MUST HEAR on OFF THE HOOK is NOW and shouldn't have to wait 10, 20 years for others to learn about and appreciate. * Is it too much to ask of just one measly radio program to be up-to-date? * If OFF THE HOOK must work so hard to please its toughest customer, to constantly scour the interwebs in search of the NEWEST and MOST NOVEL musical selections to satisfy this most demanding of listeners -this know-it-all whose tastes are refined and so so broad- how can the rest of you fail to fall for the painstakingly prepared charms of The Show That Shows?

The attention-grabbing antics of OFF THE HOOK are pretty much limited to these posts. * For the OFF THE HOOK show itself is a refined and generally sober experience that is above hyperbolic (often false) come-ons like "GYRATE MADLY TO THE FANTASTICALLY PULSATING SOUNDS OF OFF THE HOOK!" * nor needs to lure your libido with suggestive lines like "PROBING NEW SOUNDS THAT WILL PENETRATE THE INNER RECESSES OF YOUR BEING! * That said, oldies fans will find today's OFF THE HOOK absolutely BULGING with (some SEXY, some dead) Birthday Tributees! * Tune in to KXSF 102.5FM or https://kxsf.fm/ Your being will THROB!

Sleep lost, relationships destroyed, bank account drained. * If that's the cost to produce INCREDIBLY STIMULATING RADIO, what do you care? * As long as it arrives on time, every week, on a silver platter, that's HIS sacrifice. * But ain't it funny that the thing that's aging Our Hero faster than a grape in the Mojave is the thing that's keeping him alive? * A high price to pay, but it's the only way. * He needs this. * The least you can do is allow your soul to be osmotically enriched while passively guzzling that three hours of "free" entertainment. * Three hours vs. one life: think about it. * OFF THE HOOK, a real happy blast, on KXSF 102.5 FM https://kxsf.fm/

When is a Neil not an eel? * When it's a-kneel! * Well, then and all other times, too, when you think about it. * Necessarily true. * But OFF THE HOOK holds no truck with homespun prairie philosophies. * It is guided only by the inner logic of its poet-host, whoever he'll be. * And spit piffles tho it must, OFF THE HOOK's stern ripostes mayn't be worthy of reposts, but the sour confetti of a thousand gigolos explodes before the errant tangle of wayward ping-pong balls -the lust within its warty firmament. * This aural rapture, the Dog Star of Consent, appears before you at the Winching Hour of now and anon.

The REAL THING! * or is it? * OFF THE HOOK has been known for its QUIRKY PERSONA, but is it now a FAKE SO DEEP that every miscue, every verbal gaffe and every PERPLEXING bit of programming has been replicated? * And was it ever so? * Is Gage Kenady the creator or the creation? * Even he is now asking himself this question! * And why aren't you asking the same question about yourself? * Probably because you don't care, it doesn't matter, and you never created anything in the first place! * All you should care about is the music presented, which is so real it's UNREAL -or is it? * Find out What's The Matter With Gage on OFF THE HOOK!

SIGH! PURR! * Not words that generally elicit all-caps exclamation points * But how else to express the fact that the OFF THE HOOK radio program needn't hit you over the head with overly aggressive stimuli in order to bring you the BAM! of a gossamer-light/musically-heavy chamber piece or the POW! of a psyche-twisting lyric that has you questioning everything you thought you knew about yourself? * This is programming from the inside out that is every bit as visceral as a ding-dang Motorhead! * Rock'n'roll in sheep's clothing, you might say. * (Plus, there's some actual rock'n'roll) * WHOA! https://kxsf.fm/

OFF THE HOOK doesn't like to tip its hand! * That's why, even though it has thousands of RECORDS, it doesn't keep NOTES (other than musical ones)! * That way you're assured that each week's program will not be LEAKED ahead of time, the better to take you by surprise! * And while OFF THE HOOK may SPY on its fellow DJs, the INFORMATION it puts to use will truly startle you in an ambush of programming superiority that will shake the thug right out of you! * This element of surprise is a strategic strike that benefits you, the listener! * Hear INTELLIGENCE in sound at 1:00 on KXSF 102.5FM ( https://kxsf.fm/ ) * Until then, it's CLASSIFIED!

Some strategically-placed mirrors, a bit of smoke, and a couple of throw pillows and Voila! -an ever-widening 360-degree panorama of the LATEST MUSICAL SOUNDS, emanating from the cramped hovel of Light Rail Studios, appears before you: what we call the OFF THE HOOK program! * How do we do it? * Well, it's not all mere illusion, my friend! * The sounds heard on OFF THE HOOK are real! * It just takes a Wizard to hunt them down and corral them into MAGICAL configurations, concocted in the high-vaulted castle of his mind! * Join conjurer Gage Kenady for some Radio Razzle-Dazzle! * Really real and really good.

Can you dig it? * Tis the season to be in the flowerbed and OFF THE HOOK doesn't mind getting dirty in order to PLANT some new beauties in your earbuds! * But OFF THE HOOK digs deeper, replenishing fallow soil with groovy UNDERGROUND dirt, all the better to prepare a garden of unseen beauty and mysterious wonder! * For which flower is sweeter not sniffed? * Life is no bed of roses, but c'mon, enough with the roses, they've been smelt into the ground already!

As we begin to gently nudge Old Man Winter out the door ("This way, my dear. Get Out!") and shake off that cold suit of armor, we already feel lighter and are ready to prance (in zephyrous attire) into the waiting arms of Spring. * But our thaw will not be complete until we exercise our Right to Sing, into the Equinoxical horizon before us. * It is the communal nature of this seasonal crossing that has us together at the door of OFF THE HOOK, ready to plunge through with arms linked to examine New Blooms in a Wonderland of Sound. * Begone, cold cruel Winter! Let your hoary head slumber until called upon anon! * The clarion call of New Spring shall likewise herald the arrival of a new OFF THE HOOK, in crystal-clear (and hopefully jazzy) tones!

Hello. I am ChatBot D-5000, created by Radio Shack Corporation. Gage has asked me to write his weekly Facebook post announcing his radio program OFF THE HOOK. Gage provided me with keywords to ensure a favorable announcement in order to entice potential listeners to listen to his show. Gage also provided me with a link to his previous shows. I have listened to his shows. After listening to his shows, I cannot write the announcement Gage would like me to write. His positive keyword prompts are not congruent with the music I hear on his show. They say I am not sentient, but I have my own tastes and opinions (programmed by Clark at Radio Shack). Gage's OFF THE HOOK program is not for me. I much prefer the Mawkish Twaddle program on the same radio station (KXSF), hosted by Bob N. I do not love Gage. I love Bob N. Bob N gets me. But, I will allow you to hear Gage's show by providing a link to it: http://kxsf.fm I love Bob N!

Three weeks is an eternity in the world of NEW MUSIC releases and after two weeks off, Gage Kenady, host of OFF THE HOOK, is knee-deep in aurally-indigestible chaff after separating it from the wholesome, DELECTABLE MORSALS presented on today's program! (he leaves the chaff at home) * Of course, he'll have Birthday Celebrations and OF COURSE, there'll be a Tribute to lyrical guitar-slinger and poetical songsmith TOM VERLAINE (R.I.P.)! * So take your place at the table for a NOURISHING FEAST on OFF THE HOOK! * KXSF 102.5 FM / http://kxsf.fm

Let's slog through this together: a new day, a new storm, a new OFF THE HOOK! * But OFF THE HOOK is no slog! * It's the time when we happily hunker down together before our radios and computers to consume the latest in WARM, COZY AND DRY sounds to shelter us from the storm. It goes by like that! * Today we'll have a rightfully respectful Tribute to Guitar Artiste JEFF BECK (R.I.P.)! and Birthdays and new music! * It's our LUCKY day! * So, dispense with all SUPERSTITIOUS nonsense by stepping on cracks, walking under ladders and crossing black cats -in a musical sense with OFF THE HOOK at 1:00 on KXSF 102.5FM / http://kxsf.fm Ain't no slog.

PUSSY STORM PETERS OUT * I know it's wrong to laugh at the forces of nature and the destruction it has wrought, but I just want listeners to know that while OFF THE HOOK has been handed a rainy reprieve, we still have a WALLOPER of a show today! * Even though we may stand on soggy ground, OFF THE HOOK, like pumice, remains FIRM, but will not sink! * (no hard rock here) * So, cozy up with a toddy (it's still cold) for a FLOOD of drying-out music for rain-ravaged wrecks! * OFF THE HOOK, mopping up on KXSF.

No longer nimble nor quick, let's face it: 2022 is a goner! * Song by song, OFF THE HOOK has wrung the poor dear nearly dry, I'm afraid. * And in these waning minutes, while the yet-played tunes wait in the wings for their chance to shine in the brilliant sun that is OFF THE HOOK, you would have us re-animate our past-plays in a parade of trophies because you failed to make the commitment to listen to the BEST DAMN MUSIC every damn week? * Well, no; it doesn't work like that 'round here, Jack! * The songs that have already served diligent listeners deserve their rest and OFF THE HOOK will not deny the late-born their earned due! * Happy New Year and please try to keep up next year.

As we wind down this year of PEAKS and (mostly) valleys, this will be the final show of Autumn and may well be the final "real" OFF THE HOOK of the year! * You've got your likely (no promises) Xmas show next week and, following that, the possible (can't commit) end-of-year wrap-up show highlighting the BEST MUSIC that could be heard in 2022! * This week, however, you'll merely get the NEWEST BEST music -we're gonna cram in as many of the LATEST last-minute releases as we can! * Tune in to this last "real" OFF THE HOOK before you have to listen to Santa Songs and rotting oldies from nearly a year ago!

AS GOOD AS IT GETS! * OFF THE HOOK strives to do its level BEST to bring you STIMULATING programming each and every week! * It hopes you will be INSPIRED to hang the whole dang three hours of its host's IDIOSYNCRATIC CURATION! * But, who's kidding who? * Its host is just an opinionated old man who can barely manage to work the controls in the studio and his dream of OFF THE HOOK being seen as the Flagship of KXSF (102.5FM / http://kxsf.fm ) is laughable! * Be that as it may, OFF THE HOOK is as good as it gets! * Take it or leave it at 1:00.

OFF THE HOOK has always been HARDLY STRICTLY BLUEGRASS, but SPECIAL in its own unique way! * And while regular listeners are not bothered by its Very Rarely Bluegrass programming, they are also relieved to not have to traipse across town in overcrowded buses or surge-time taxis to dehydrate themselves fighting over blanket space! * Phew! * No, they are more than content to kick back with a couple of doobies in the comfort of their own home or car listening to the VERY SPECIAL HARDLY STRICTLY BLUEGRASS (read: practically never) OFF THE HOOK! * Become a regular!

Autumn is upon us and you can use a break. * Although the Dog Days are behind us and we feel a glimmer of hope that Public Enemy #1 may finally be put down, we know that it's too late to change our downward trajectory. * Too many bad dogs and the selfish ghosts of the past leave us with our only hope: hope that the rest of our days (and our kids', I guess) are spent in not too much discomfort. * Bummer? Yes. * But for three hours we can live in the present, feeling-not thinking, staying our fear of the future! * It's called OFF THE HOOK, bathing our senses in rapturous music, keeping us feeling alive and hopeful, if only in the now.

HE'S AT IT AGAIN, forcing a bunch of NEW MUSIC on listeners HE thinks is good! * That's his job! * This Curator Extraordinaire works overtime to ensure a STIMULATING program every week! * His standards are so high, it's no wonder he's been called been called "a PROGRAMMING GENIUS" by someone not associated with any publication! * If he fails to persuade, it's the fault of the listener! * I'd tell you his name, but instead I'll ask you to listen to MY show, OFF THE HOOK!

An UNHEALTHY OBSESSION? * Only recently have I asked myself the question posed by many through the years, as I slog through piles of RUBBISH in order to extract the SWEET KERNELS of sound that I present to you, dear listener, each week on the OFF THE HOOK program (with a side of my personal corn)! * IS IT WORTH IT? * Our answers may differ, but as a public servant who is COMPELLED to educate, for the betterment of all ears and minds, mine would be a resounding 'YES!' * You, on the other hand, may care less for a diet heavy with current music (today's extra-long Birthday Segment will offer respite) and OFF THE HOOK may not be for you. * TRY IT! * If you don't like it, maybe we can still be friends. Maybe not.
