Sonic Café, turn on, tune in and welcome to the radio party that features intelligent, eclectic music comedy and pop culture. This is episode 316 and I’m Scott Clark. This time the Sonic Café listens as comedian Kyle Kinane reads his cats mind, and gives us helpful tips to out creep any creepy guy you might meet on an elevator. Wow, that alone is worth the price of admission, right? Ahem. Our music mix is from the last 58 years and includes Modest Mouse, Roxy Music from the 1982 Avalon album, also Bleachers, American Authors, Cake and many more. We’ll also toss in the Zombies from 1963. Listen for She’s Not There, number 297 on Rolling Stone’s list of the top 500 rock songs of all time. Oh and a turbo charged Sonic Café welcome to our latest sponsor, BJ Smith’s Used Autos. If you see a car on the street you like, BJ will nab it for you using the same smash and grab skills that made him a football legend. That’s BJ Smith’s Used Autos, low prices on really hot cars. So all that and more this time from that little café on the big blue Pacific coast, from 1972 here’s April Wine, 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)
