This Week's Theme: Was It A Top 40 Hit? My move back into fully developed Faux Shows started last week, after a few months of simpler shows, with a theme that used my favorite music reference - Joel Whitburn's Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits. I enjoyed that research so much that this week and … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 22 (June 26, 2022): Was It A Top 40 Hit?
This Week's Theme: Album Openers This is the first of several Faux Shows that are going to have a lot less content due to constraints on my time. The themes of the shows are going to be less complex for a while and require a lot less research. The shows are also going to be … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 17 (April 24, 2022): Album Openers
This Week's Theme: Bassist Richard Davis One of my favorite themes is a celebration of the often overlooked, highly influential session musicians and other background figures that helped create the music of the 20th century. Stars get all of the recognition, but most of them can not make the music they are known for without … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 15 (April 10, 2022): Bassist Richard Davis
This Week's Theme: New Music Due to the themes I’ve selected over the last few weeks, there has been very little new music on the Faux Show for a while. For that reason, this week’s theme is New Music. All songs are from 2022, and cover a variety of genres. Welcome to Radio Faux Show … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 14 (April 3, 2022): New Music

The book is divided into fifty chapters, one for each of the first fifty years … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 12 (March 20, 2022): Music Is History
This Week's Theme: Kinks Kovers The Kinks are a band that I did not know very well beyond a few of their albums and songs until I recently explored their music with Faux Junior.

This Week's Theme: Themeless This week's Faux Show doesn't have an overall theme. Instead I have pulled together some songs I have been saving, some birthdays, some In Memoriams, some new stuff, and a variety of songs that all go together as mini-themes. Welcome to Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 5. First things first … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 5 (January 30, 2022): Themeless
This Week's Theme: In Memoriam 2021 (Part One) Hundreds of musicians, songwriters, producers, and recording artists died in 2021. Some of them were legends while others were best known from the work of others. There is no way to include all of these artists in one Faux Show, but I can at least go with … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 1 (January 2, 2022): In Memoriam 2021 (Part One)
