Some cry “Earworm!” but others say that’s just our program. Hear catchy pop tunes from several decades, music from that famous band with the funny name, songwriting legends, jazz piano, Dolly playing saxophone, funny people, Christmas bells, an answer-song pair, that soap opera theme we promised you, and more. All for the same low price. We’re practically giving it away. Get in line.

But for now you’ll still get to hear 60s and 90s and current pop, covers, Coke, uke, Nichols and May, singing blocks, a little hip-hop, a little disco, a little country, a little seltzer down your pants. Plus a surprise or two. You signed up for this. You knew what were you were getting into. Download and get it over with. You know you want to.

Holy cow, we’re telling you, this is what you need in the summertime. Don’t walk away from it, take the time and listen to it. You don’t care what Mama don’t allow, you’re going to listen anyhow.

We present a new obsession but we maintain our old ones. You’ll hear 60s British Invasion hits, chart-toppers from the 1910s and 1920s, Gershwin sung by Ginger Rogers, and your parents’ favorite song (it was sung by Vikki Carr). Mingus imitates birds, Curtis trips out, The Monkees buy a dog, and Cyndi drives all night. Ukulele Ike dreams, Bob and Ray experiment with stereo, A$AP Rocky kills fashion, and Ben Kweller lives in an apartment in New York (doesn’t everyone?). And there’s still more—it’s all there, take a look!

We like this so much that we do it even though we can’t make a living at it. But, really, can anyone? Apart from Cousin Brucie?

Also: personal favorites from the 60s, acousticky folky music, well-played piano, beautiful voices, country and indie and pop and hip and hop, Disney and Peter Sellers and Bob and Ray, flying saucers, and Amazon.

Really, what more could you want from us? Listen and find out how small the world really is.

This week’s program is framed at both ends with unusual harp music. If that’s not tempting enough, there’s more: Tony Perkins, unusual Beatles covers, solo vocalists of both sexes, phrase book phrases, instrumentals, hip and hop, up and down, Bob and Ray, toys and games, and banter.
