Special:
Bob chats with Director José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço on his new film YOUNG WERTHER
LIVE from Los Angeles: Who's in the mood for a wonderfully romantic comedy based on classic literature? Then look no further then YOUNG WERTHER. Tonight we sit down with Writer / Director José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço to discuss. Then we go in the opposite direction with a Christmas Eve set action thriller starring Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman, Netflix's CARRY ON. In the mood for a kooky, crime caper, comedy? Then THE STICKY on Amazon Prime Video is what you're going to love. There's a ton of great holiday themed theatre here in LA but none as clever, zany and fun as the Troubies latest holiday mashup of the film HOME ALONE and The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the (drumroll please)... TROUBIES’ HOME ALONE-LY HEARTS CLUB BAND at The Colony Theater in Burbank. Then we will close out the evening with two spectacular concerts. Conductor Zubin Mehta performing Brahms at The Walt Disney Concert Hall & Dinosaur Jr. performing the entire Where You Been album for its 30th Anniversary, with surprise guests! December 12th at 7pm-11pm PT, 10pm - 2am ET. |

Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee
Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in. |

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich
A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take. |
