Uncle Spike's Variety Hours

Thursday rears its groggy head
students move like living dead
Life of party is Barney, not Fred
Maybe some Christmas tunes that shred?

December 4, 2025... We enter the shortest, darkest days of the year. It's going to take some music to either ward that off, or to give in to the Hibernian hibernation.
That, and a tip of the hat to Harry Chapin on what would have been his 83rd birthday. Plus, tons of other stuff. Wooweee!

Time for the annual Halloween Hangover edition of Uncle Spike's Variety Hours!
(Translated: I pulled so much great eerie-sceery music for last week's Halloween show, but didn't get through all of it.
So, a few sets of Ookie-spookie tunes coming up tonight!
(provided I survive the rainy walk to the KZAX radio studios.)

I haven't concocted the whole playlist yet (OK, I have about 1h 55 to go...) but one of the lead songs will be...
[NAME THAT TUNE!] a 1976 pop hit that fits the bill for local/regional air quality has of the last few days. Winner gets a vegan egg salad sandwich from the vending machine at the Columbus School of Law!*

Zoinkledoinkles! It's Thursday night, so time for Uncle Spike's Vah-riot-tea Hours.
Between new thrift shop treasures, a trip to the library, and a cat sleeping next to me, there will be creative, tasty tuneage treats tonight.
And, according to the USVH Planning committee, NO Bobby Goldsboro music on the show tonight. (And how does that make you feel, listener?)

We have sooo many great shows on KZAX radio, hosted by a wide variety of DJs/announcers delivering the tunes. This afternoon, I scored (yet another!) great deal at the Assistance League Thrift Shop (Helps kids get school backpacks and supplies every year.)

This got me thinking about one of our Monday night shows, ***The Bargain Bin.*** DJ Zay scours the used racks of the city, and on 2nd and 4th Mondays at 8-9pm, spins "an hour of used and found CDs, featuring everything from old familiar favorites to tracks buried deep in the sands of time." Respect from Yer bargainhuntingunkle.

Tonght I'll mix up tunes from my collection, recent acquisitions, library loaners, and goodies from the modest, but ever-expanding KZAX radio library. Come and join the fun!

RADIO FOREVER!
This is the theme of May 2025's KZAX fundraiser.
In honor of such, tonight's musical focus on Uncle Spike's Variety Hours is songs about RADIO.
Songs from different artists, styles, genres about good ol' radio.
Peter Gabriel, The Selector, Elvis Costello, Mojo Nixon, George Harrison, and that kinda freaky one from Helen Reddy....

What's that band called that mixes the "Friday, Friday" song with the granddaddies of heavy metal?
They are...
Wait for it...
