ROGC: The Great Rain Drain
LIVE-mixed webcast: January 8th, 2006

PLAYLIST & INFO PAGE HERE!

So the sun has returned to us here in Oakistan… for now. But why let the waters just come and go without a ceremonial seasonal “sayonara”?

Unlike other stations that obsess on day to day weather forecasting, we here at s&S only need to do this once for the entire year.
So, I hope you tuned in to ride the weather front – down, out and away – with a LIVE-mixed wet sound journey with the Royal Oakland Gramophone Company.

Dreamy! Fantastique! Lie down, draw the covers up and watch shadows, swirls and headlight fairies dance around the room til you drift away.

ROGC: Hallowe’eny e’en special!

Ever hear the sound of DJ mummy dust blow past a microphone? or the subtle sound of cobwebs on a turntable? How about creaking, squealing headphones from beyond?

Didn’t think so – and we kept it that way. Hope you tuned in for a live mixed audio spook fix though – sounds & stories

– presented by the Royal Oakland Gramophone Company.

Ok, sometimes I really didn’t try hard enough with the themes…I mean…it was the night BEFORE Hallowe’en, so I gave you a Hallowe’en Eve show – simple formula. But unlike any unrelenting sugary references to holiday ‘boo!’ characters typical of Halloween shows, I was going for something both seasonally fun AND genuinely spooky. Plus I even played 20 seconds of Bark at the Moon.
Shut up!!! It’s my show… I can do whatever I want!
Seriously, I think this show works at any time of the year, and your iPod doesn’t even have to be black and covered in polyester cobwebs -n- candy corn.

ROGC: Church of the Lustful Frog

And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs…and thy radio studios
Exodus 8:3

This was probably among my personal favorite shows. Mainly because its fun to think that sneaky double agent priests had always been chanting scientific latin frog names all along (Saints of Amphibia)….back when I was a good, church going tadpole…I mean ‘lad’.
