While I like how the pre-recorded shows come out, I spend too much time on them, trying to make them "perfect", and prepping Monday's "blizzard" show was exhausting. So when I finished that one, I decided I would do a replay of a REVOLVER thing I did at the time the massive (and expensive) REVOLVER box set came out, in fall 2022, using - as its base - a syndicated radio special created by NYC FM radio hero Dan Neer. What you hear here is a greatly expanded 80-minute-ish version of that special, featuring many of the re-mixes and outtakes from the original 1966 sessions, plus interviews with the Beatles themselves and both George and Giles Martin (many from a cool crowdsourced internet-only audio series called "The Beatles Anthology Revisited") plus additional commentary from... Beatle nerd me.

The remaining half-an-hour of the show is a melange of interesting basic tracks, overdubs and pieces from 1969's ABBEY ROAD sessions, plus a John Lennon run-through of "Julia" from 1968's WHITE ALBUM sessions, all intersperesed with soundbites and noises from John, Paul, George and producer George Martin. Not everyone will agree, but for me and (I know) for some of you - this stuff is endlessly fascinating. I listened to the whole shebang this morning on an Amazon Dot and I was shocked - not only at how good the remixes sounded through that little speaker, coming from its tiny compressed WPKN signal - but how much astonishing energy, creativity and brilliance is captured in all those tracks. In 1966, they were more united and ambitious than ever, and they were untouchable.

(Oh - we started off with the new remix of "Free As a Bird", which I think is just fine.)

I usually steer away from political commentary on the Snap Crackle POP! show, but I wanted to do my part (as infintesimly small as it may be) to celebrate this important American holiday. I am hearing there are more-than-usual MLK Jr. day celebtations happening today, which I'm grateful for. I remember his assasination day and I was so confused by it - why? Just... why? And why are some sh*tty. powerful, hate-filled people trying to erase this day in 2026?

As a shortwave radio fan and historian, I was absolutely horrified by the current administration's takedown of our hisroric and essential international broadcasting stations, including the Voice of America, Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Europe. So I was glad to see that mu eternal heroes R.E.M. OK'd the use of their debut song to the world, 1981's "Radio Free Europe", in a new EP that included an excellent new remix of the mysterious, propulsive and soaring original track - the Hibtone one, which came out before the first EP, which I also played. Profits from their new "Radio Free Europe" EP are going towards keeping the actual Radio Free Europe broadcast operations alive, although (as I write this) they are still barely managing to survive.

He's an extraordinary musician, a great guy, amazing Dad and the founder of MANDONNA - the all-male Madonna tribute band that I sing background vocals for.

So this was my first attempt at doing a sort-of tribute show to GKS. I did a few! (Later on, I started calling these shows "Snap Crackle Pop Jr."... kind of like Nick Jr. ) Rod Ross, a classic WPKN DJ with a regular 6 - 9 am Saturday morning slot, was taking time off in the summer of '24, so I volunteered to fill in - and then decided I would try to do a kid-friendly show thast was also a tribute to Hova and Belinda's GKS. Whether any kid (of any age) ever listened to these shows is something I'll never know, but I had THE BEST TIME doing these and would do them again.

About 2 hours and 13 minutes in, the show goes "live" - previous to that it's a tightly edited special, but I ran out of steam in early 2024 to finish the show properly, in part because of an auto incident that had happened that freaked me out. So I did the remaining part live ("WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!") so the announcements get much more loosey-goosey from that point onwards. I got a lot of nice feedback about this one, and it's one of my favorite shows! Hall and Oates are dead; love live Hall & Oates.

All songs are performed by Daryl Hall & John Oates unless otherwise noted.

* It turn out Sugarloaf is a two-hit wonder. "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You". I got a call and an FB message about it!

 
This late evening/early Saturday morning I was filling in for the great Rich Kaminsky, so I decided - apropos of nothing - to do a show I called "Late-Night Beatles".  In other words, a show consisting of Beatles songs and Beatle solo songs that sound good late at night. Hushed, downbeat Beatles. 

So yes to "Long, Long, Long", no to "Good Day Sunshine". Yes "Here Comes the Moon", no "Here Comes The Sun". Yes "Waterfalls", no "Take It Away". Yes "Nobody Loves You (When You're Down and Out)", no "Power To The People". Yes "Blindman", no "No No Song". 

Maybe it was a daft idea, but I tried to stick with good and underappreciated "deep cuts", mainly of the solo Beatle variety, as yes, I know there aren't many Beatles "deep cuts". (And yes, I played a Yoko cut or three. But I need a re-listen to figure that out!) I remember thinking the show came out well, so... there's that. Enjoy, and fall asleep, if that seems appropiate.

This night I was filling in for two two-hour shows, one right after the other: "Railroad Dave" Schartz and KC Vaz (Paralelo Zero-Radio Brazil). This show is pretty adventurous and plays lots of good obscure music, and it's making me think I should try to add a bit more of this dreamy/mysterious/old-school free-form FM vibe into my curent morning show, and even more so for the occasional fill-ins I still do, especially those at weirder hours. The more crackles each record has, the more plays it must've gotten on the WPKN airwaves, and the more soulfully deep cosmic vibrations get re-released into the ether.

Hoo boy. I wanted to do radio... I got my chance this day. 7 hours of it. I was subbing for Dave Golden's Morning Maniac Music between 10am and 2pm - already a generous 4-hour shift - and then I found out the 2-5 host couldn't make his show due to an emergency of some kind. So I ended up doing a marathon Snap Crackle Pop. It was super-fun and somewhat exhausting. Thanks to everybody out there who was listening and cheering me on. Here's part 1.
