This Week's Theme: 100th Birthday- Born in 1922 I’ll be the first to admit that a playlist consisting entirely of artists born one hundred years ago may not sound like something everyone wants to hear, but the amazing thing is how many decades of music I ended up including. There is clearly an emphasis on … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 33 (September 11, 2022): Born in 1922
This Week's Theme: Some Of My Favorite Records You May Not Have Heard Before Last week's show of selections from the Trouser Press Record Guide dove into my alt-music past.

This Week's Theme: Around the World in 29 Songs As I wrote one year ago in Radio Faux Show Volume 1, Number 25 - almost every Faux Show includes one of my favorite mini-themes, Let's Take a Trip Around the World.

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: 10-Year Anniversary (Music from 2012) I paid very little attention to new music in 2012. There are many reasons for this, and I don't feel guilty about it, but I'm always working to fill in the gaps in my musical knowledge. For this reason, it was interesting to go back ten years … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 16 (April 17, 2022): 10-Year Anniversary
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
This Week's Theme: Springbok Puzzle "Play That Beat" One of the most creative aspects of making these shows is the constant need to come up with new themes. I now find that normal everyday activities can become themes, and I often catch myself thinking of normal daily activities in relation to their ability to be … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 11 (March 13, 2022): Springbok Puzzle “Play That Beat”
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. We listened to their complete discography and as we did so I kept hearing songs that I know as covers by … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 10 (March 6, 2022): Kinks Kovers
This Week's Theme: Contractually Obligated Disco Recordings This is probably the most ridiculous theme I have selected so far, and it is all because of one song on one album that most people have never heard of or listened to. I was doing some record store shopping and selected a Carole King album for Ms. … Continue reading Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 9 (February 27, 2022): Contractually Obligated Disco Recordings
