Sonic Café, from New Zealand that’s Gin Wigmore from 2010, so hey welcome to the café, I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 425. This time the Sonic Café brings you the comedy of Ryan Hamilton in a thing we’re calling bicycling with a death wish! So there’s that. Plus later on physicist Brian Cox suggests that we might just be alone in the universe. So listen for that. Our eclectic music mix is really fun. Pulled from the last 52 years we’ll spin Garage Band rock from the Mockers, also music from Foster the People, St. Vincent, the Vamps, and a Progressive Rock tune from 1974. Listen for German band Triumvirat, with their hit Lucky Girl, and ahh the list goes on. Then near the bottom of the hour we’ll take the Sonic Café time machine back to 1967. Listen for the amazing Etta James with an R&B classic. All that plus a word from our latest sponsor Ed’s Shoplift Emporium. At Ed’s they encourage you to shop lift anything you want. So drop by Ed’s today, where everything is ahh a real steal.

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 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)
