Sonic Café, that was Built by Titan with Times Are Changing, which you may recognize as the theme song for the Bosch television series. So hey, welcome to the café, this is episode 431 and I’m your host Scott Clark. This time the Sonic Café presents the comedy of John Mulaney. John just re-watched Back to the Future, and wonders how it ever got produced in the first place. Funny stuff. We’ve got a beefy music mix pulled from the last 43 years, listen for a Ursula 1000 remix of Don Tiki’s The Other side of the Moon, then great blues from Ben Harper, plus The Lords of the New Church, Blondie, Link Wray and many more. We’ll also learn how the TSA is always one step ahead of Al-Qaeda, in a Key and Peele comedy short. All that plus Neil deGrasse Tyson, gives us his thoughts about death and the afterlife, so ahh there’s that. So strap in and get ready for a ride. The Sonic Café it’s ahh what’s for dinner. Here’s another TV theme song, this time from the Resident Alien series. This is Brown Bird, with Bilgewater, and of course 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 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)
