 Get ready, starting tomorrow we have a new show premiering on Vinyl Voyage Radio: The Flip ! This show is all about the 45 rpm single. Hosted by Bruce Janu, the flip takes one 45, and flips it - playing both the A and B sides.  The 45 rpm record was all about the A side-- the side that contained the sing, or the potential hit. The B side was often another track from the album, or an unreleased song. People usually didn't buy a 45 for the B side -- but, as The Flip demonstrates, the B side could be better than the A. Join us for our first episode where we dive into the first single released for Fleetwood Mac's 1976 masterpiece: Rumours.  We listen first to side A, and then FLIP it for Side B -- two songs, by the same artist.  The Flip  can be heard every Tuesday at 11am (EST) with a repeat at 11pm (EST).

This is a fun episode - our love letter to the movies! This features stories about walking home after watching Dracula as a kid, taking street cars to the large cinemas downtown, plus lots of James Bond, science-fiction, and how my grandfather hated Elliot Ness! Music includes selected movie soundtrack songs, Doris Day, Paul McCartney, the cast of Rocky Horror, Shirley Bassey and more!

Thirteen years ago — December 23, 2012 — I wrote that I was struggling to get into the Christmas spirit. The so-called “war on Christmas” was everywhere, (remember that?) yet it felt like Christmas had already won — stores opening on Thanksgiving, radio stations flipping to all-Christmas formats before Halloween was even over. It felt loud. Rushed. Commercial. And maybe a little hollow. I remember writing then that perhaps Linus was right — Christmas had become too commercial. Or maybe it just felt different because I wasn’t a kid anymore. But here's the truth:  Music is a time machine. Nothing pulls you backward through time quite like a song. One note, one harmony, one familiar voice — and suddenly you’re back in a living room from decades ago, or riding in the back seat of a car, or sitting on the floor while the tree lights glow. In 2012, Vinyl Voyage Radio had only been on for a year. And that year, I decided to do something different: instead of wall-to-wall modern Chr...

 I grew up in a zoo. A little zoo, but a zoo, nonetheless. We had the usual - dogs and cats and birds. But we also had an also an octopus. Snakes. Eels. Shrimp. Turtles. And more. This episode is all about the pets that have shaped our lives, featuring music by The Beatles, Queen, Jim Stafford, The Cure, Natalie Merchant and more.  This episode premieres tomorrow at 2pm, EST. Or available on-demand via Mixcloud . Listen below:

On Sunday, November 23, a new episode of Songs in the Key of Dave premieres. This one is called "Postcards from Elsewhere." It is all about travel. My dad and I take a journey across the word —swapping stories of plane rides, sunburns, hurricanes, missed tours, good mistakes, and the strangers who became friends along the way. From a sun-scorched trip to Jamaica in the early ’60s… to a honeymoon-turned-evacuation in the Bahamas…to cruises, cobblestones, ancient sites, wrong boats, right boats, and an unforgettable night in Edinburgh—each memory becomes its own postcard from elsewhere. This one features music from Frank Sinatra • Harry Belafonte • Bobby Darin • Jimmy Buffett • Etta James • Willie Nelson • Dean Martin • Pascal Dennis • Si Cranstoun • Alicia Lemke Listen at 2pm (EST) or on-demand via Mixcloud .
