*incoming transmission imminent*
Happy New Year, Pinewave Pals!
Well, 2025 definitely feels like the year of a dystopian future from a classic Sci-fi movie to THIS 80s Kid..🤖 still no flying cars though..
We DO, however, have a great show for you with Playing By Ear on Shady Pines Radio this first week of 2025! I had a fantastic time back on Dec. 18th hanging out with local Acoustic Duo (and fantastic humans) Introducing the Machine, and we're airing the hour long interview in three parts over this week's show! We covered a range of topics, including Bigfoot, Bob Seger, Djinns, bent dick syndrome, and cheese sandwiches (f**k you kraft singles) among many others!
Be sure to check out their music, web page (introducingthemachinemusic.com)
and YouTube channel, you'll be glad you did!🤩🤘 Also, some fantastic new music from Eugene Electro-Rockers The Sizzos with 'Goodbye Again' this week on the program as well, and it's a hot one
🔥🔥🔥🤩🤘
Join host Aron Schur on them thar Pinewaves! Fridays at 3pm on Shadypinesradio.com, and
Catch a New Year groove! Happy new Year to YOU!
