Sonic Café, that’s Phil Collins and Genesis with Dance on a Volcano from the 1976 LP Trick of the Tail. So hey welcome to the café, I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 451. This time the Sonic Café brings you an example of the apple not falling far from the tree, because like Phil Collins, his son Nic has developed into an amazing drummer. So much so, that he played drums for Genesis on there most recent and probably final tour with his Dad Phil. More on that in a bit, our music mix is pulled from over 50 years, listen for Greta Van Fleet, The Police, Green Day, George Ezra with his 2018 hit Shotgun, dinosaur rock from Black Sabbath, listen for Paranoid and the list goes on. We also have another Crazy music facts everyone should know, from the folks at The Orgins of Songs, plus Neil deGrasse Tyson stops by to tell us what would actually happen if dug a hole through earth to China. All straight ahead, now about that Father and Son thing, here’s Phil Collins son Nic, with his band Better Strangers, from 2022 this is But I don’t know your name, and our name is the Sonic Café.

About the Producer:

Scott Clark has always had a lot of music in his life. Growing up outside of Chicago, he was mesmerized early on by the radio of the sixties and seventies and began collecting records at a very early age. From 45’s and LP’s to cassettes and CD’s and now digital… he really never stopped. Today everything in his library is digitized because he got sick of lugging all that stuff around.

The concept for the Sonic Café is to deliver the high production values and feel of the radio he grew up listening to. But unlike the tight, repetitious playlists of those commercial stations, feature a massive range of artists, genres and tunes. The whole idea is to package it in an eclectic, engaging, no repeat format that brings both new and old together in a unique, entertaining, and most importantly fun and fast paced way. There’s really nothing on the radio today, or in the past, that compares with it.

About the Sonic Café:

The show is set in an imaginary cafe overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Central Oregon Coast. The cafe serves up eclectic, intelligent music, comedy and pop culture. The program originates on the Oregon coast in the Pacific Northwest, so the imagery is not a huge stretch.

Each program is 58:00 minutes in length leaving room for station ID, promos and PSAs. Each episode is .mp3 encoded at a constant rate of 256kbps and ready for broadcast.

An episode is released each week. All episodes are evergreen; never focusing on time of year, weather, month, holidays, events etc. so each show is timeless. All music is presented in a no repeat format. Once a song airs in an episode it never airs again. Episodes may be downloaded and grouped together to quickly create program blocks of two, three, four or more hours in length.

The Sonic Cafe has a Facebook page (facebook.com/SonicCafeRadio) where complete show notes and playlists are presented for each episode. Listeners can also reach the show producers via email (SonicCafeRadio@gmail.com)
