The Not-So-Hectic Eclectic Playlist 6/18/15

Well, I guess the word is out. THE SOW-BEARS ARE COMING FOR US ALL!!!

(Brought to you by a typo in a newspaper article. We *think* they meant to say “some bears” but you can’t really be too sure in Wacky Wilkes-Barre.)

After warning everyone about the sow-bears, I did manage to play some music, including some requested Inspiral Carpets, which was all kinds of awesome.

Dr. Ham was not able to stop by today, pre-occupied with the nefarious goings on at Castle Ham. But he will be on the air Friday with Dr. Ham’s Dance Party a little after 8pm.

(For those of you who have no idea about any of this, or why I post a playlist every week, I host a volunteer radio show called the Not-So-Hectic Eclectic from 1p-3p Eastern at WRKC. Requests via social media can be made at #radiofreereggie, or just poke me through the usual channels. The station identifies as alternative, I play a mix of stuff from the Beforetimes (90s) and now.)

Speaking of music…

…and another fine day it was at the WRKC studios. The station is working on a super-secret mellow show which will have little stingers and liners with my voice, though I am not hosting it.

Yesterday and during the show today I was in search of a hashtag to use as short hand for the show and I am pleased to say that WE HAVE A WINNER.

#radiofreereggie

So that will be the social media shorthand from here on out for the Not-So-Hectic Eclectic. Use that to tell me about a band, ask for a request, or tell me about skunk ape sightings. Not that I’ve seen any skunk apes in Wilkes-Barre, but you never know. Wilkes-Barre can be pretty wacky sometimes.

Hey everybody! Today’s show marked the broadcasting debut of Trevor Strong’s Aliens in the Soda Machine and Other Strange Tales. I was joined in the studio for a little while by Dr. Ham (of Dr. Ham’s Dance Party). He gave the song two thumbs up! Yay!

Anyone out there in the blogosphere know a song by a band with something about the word postal in the name and has stuff about the moon landing in it? Asking for a listener… Dr. Ham and I wracked our brains and could not figure it out.

The Not-So-Hectic Eclectic Returns to WRKC

~ reggielutz ~ Leave a comment

Hey everybody! This is just a heads up that the radio show I host as a volunteer over at WRKC begins today from 1p-3p Eastern. I’ll be there over the summer, rockin and rollin and what-not, Thursdays (1-3p) playing a mix of new music and 90s tunes. Occasionally there will be interviews, but today, this first day of the return to the show it is all about the songs. I’ll be posting playlists here at the blog after each show, so if you tune in and miss the name of an artist or song that you like, you’ll be able to find it.

Just click the big red thing that says “Listen Live”
