Sonic Café 1989 music from Jesus and Mary Chain, that’s Head On, which is what we do here, leap head on into the future while also remembering the great music that got us here. I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 261. The smart phone, it came on the seen in 2007, and somewhere along the way became the central engine of our modern lives, and one of our most treasured possessions. Early on, each new model was a game changer. Today though, the new phone is pretty much like the old phone, with a new paint job and a couple extra megapixels. But we just gotta have it, because who wants to be caught with last years phone, right? Which of course makes the Apple and Android folks mighty happy. This time the Sonic Café explores our obsessive, compulsive relationships with our phones and the digital world. Listen for comedic observations from Tyler Boeh, Jerry Seinfeld and Bonnie McFarlene in a music mix spanning 40 years including David Byrne, Paul McCartney, INXS, the Cult, and more. Oh and a megapixel sized welcome Whiz Wireless, our newest sponsor. Blast into the future with Whiz Wireless and they’re Breathtaking new 9G technology, which of course changes everything. All that and more from the radio program that leaps head on into the future, but doesn’t forget what got us here. We’re the Sonic Café.

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)
