Useless Things Need Love Too: The Radio Show

19/07/2024

Listen to Eug introduce you to some wacky yet cool musical atrocities and gems!

Coming up at 8pm Eastern... The show that seems like it's made by your whacky friend with a large collection of music. Along with artists from NC!

10/02/2024

So, here's a request to ALL my friends. Are you a North Carolina-based musician/band/act? If so, are Eugene, Stephanie, and I playing your music on Camel City Radio or on one of our shows? We play "local" (which means ANY music that is based in NC) at least twice every hour, 24 hours a day. If we aren't playing it, it's because we don't have it. We want it. We need it.

If you're NOT an NC-based musical act, but your best friend's uncle's cousin's boss's niece's boyfriend is (or any other scenario where you know NC-based artists), then we want THEIR stuff, too.

There may be some interviews, highlights, etc. in the future for these acts, as well. Not just for Camel City Radio but perhaps for The Less Desirables or one of the other music-based podcasts on The Less Desirables Network.

I am a musician, and I want to take care of my friends and my friends' friends to get the word out about their music.

So, if any of this pertains to you, send (or have your friends send) music via email to [email protected] (Humphrey is our camel's name). If you have 128k MP3s, that's best. If not, we will convert what we need to; not a problem.

Share this if you would, and maybe we'll grow this NC musician database and get some recognition going here.

Oh, and listen to Camel City Radio for FREE on the Camel City Radio app for both iOS and Android devices. Most smart TVs now have the Live365 app, and you can look us up there. And, if you have an Alexa device, say "Alexa, play Camel City." If you say radio, she'll send you somewhere in the phantom zone. Just say "Camel City."

Thank you all in advance!

The setlist for the first Useless Things Need Love Too: The Radio Show of 2024, recorded in the OmniVerus Studios at Liberty Plaza.

This week, our journey takes us to "Pick Slide (or Pick Scrape) Land." Now, pick slides may be a small and inconsequential thing to you, but I love that stuff. So, I'm giving you two hours of songs with epic pick slides!
Listen at 8p on Sunday, 12/10/23. How, you ask? The Camel City Radio app for both iOS and Android devices, the Camel City Radio website, most Smart TVs, or the way we listen... say, "Alexa, play Camel City!" Don't say radio, she doesn't like that.
Let me know you're listening! And thank you in advance.

So, the end of an era happened last night. KISS, my favorite band, played their last concert as a band, at least in makeup. They were pretty much my inspiration for music, which grew way beyond them. On tonight's show, I am doing a 2+ hour retrospective of my musical and performance heroes. I'd love for you to come along with me. You can hear it on the Camel City Radio app (available in your phone's app store), on most "Smart TVs," and if you have an Alexa device, just enable the skill for Camel City Radio and say, "Alexa, play Camel City!" Don't say radio, she doesn't like that. Just Camel City.
The show starts at 8p and will go slightly into the 10p hour. I hope you ride along with me!

12/11/2023

I'll not forget to post like last week!
Sunday, November 12, at 8pm until I am done only on Camel City Radio .
This week, Useless Things Need Love Too - The Radio Show will be doing part two of "It's All Relative," featuring parents, children, uncles, aunts, cousins, and siblings.
Find it for FREE on the Camel City Radio app (in both the Apple Play Store and Google Play Store), on the Live365 app, on most smart TVs (you will need to install the Live365 app on those televisions), including ALL Roku devices, and my personal fave... Tell Alexa to "play Camel City." Don't say radio; that confuses her.
If you listen, please let me know!
I'm always looking for show ideas.

06/11/2023

Don't forget Useless Things Need Love Too: The Radio Show starts at 8p and goes on until I'm done. I meant to post this earlier. I apologize for the delay. It's all "relative" tonight!!
Listen for free at the Camel City Radio website, on the Camel City Radio app for BOTH iOS and Android (free!!!) and on your Alexa device. Just say, "Alexa, play Camel City" (don't say radio).
Let me know if you're listening.

Hear our brand-new program tonight! 8-10p EDT!!

Tonight, Tim steps out from his cozy 10a-2p weekday slot and brings his long-time blog and podcast into a music radio show.

We are proud to present: "Useless Things Need Love Too - The Radio Show."

The fun starts at 8p.

The idea? He picks a theme, and for two hours, he spouts off about them. It's all in good fun. This week's theme? Songs that do NOT feature the song's title in the lyrics. Tune in to find out more.

Where do you find this bit of radio goodness? Well, you can find it at CamelCityRadio.com or on the Live365 App; just search for Camel City Radio. Or Camel City Radio on the Live365 Channel on Roku Devices.

Meanwhile… on this, my 18th podcast episode (of this podcast, that is): Stephanie and I took a mini-vacation this weekend. Never mind that we're going to Paris in a mere 37 days. It was just time for a little getaway. Now, it wasn't just a random trip out of town. I had a Sunday gig with the Camel City Yacht Club in a town called West Jefferson, so we headed to the mountains of NC a few days early to have a little bit of "Beeman Time."...
