Sonic Café, are you a wild Mustang or a tame little kitty? The Kings of Leon want to know. Welcome aboard as we blast into the future! I’m your host, Scott Clark, and this is episode 477. This time, the Sonic Café brings you a killer mix of music, laugh-out-loud comedy shorts, and a vintage flashback featuring the Fire Bolt Action Machine Gun—a Mattel toy from the '60s that definitely wouldn’t fly today. It's our first retro sponsor, part of a new feature to show how much times have changed. Our music spans 54 years, you’ll hear Taj Mahal with Statesboro Blues, Elle King belting out Ex’s & Oh’*, a fresh track from The Black Keys' 2024 Ohio Players release, plus U2, The Dirty Truckers, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, The Chats bringing that Aussie punk energy, and more. Then, around the bottom of the hour, the Sonic Cafe spins up another disco classic—A Taste of Honey’s Boogie Oogie Oogie. So dust off your mirror ball and get ready to booogie. And those comedy shorts we mentioned? Listen for Sheng Wang, Norm MacDonald, and the legendary George Carlin. So let’s do this thing. . From 2005, here’s The Fray —and we’re the Sonic Café.
