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.)

The Not-So-Hectic Eclectic Playlist 5-21-15

…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.
