Sonic Café, nobody does that quite the way you do, that’s Mark Knopfler from his Down the Road Wherever album. So thanks for stopping by. I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 290. So what’s happened to humor? Seems like the sensitivity police are waiting, twitter feeds in hand, ready to cancel anyone stepping over that politically correct line drawn in the sand. Which is leading us into a new reality of living in a post joke world. A place where the keyboard trolls are at the ready to bury anyone for even the slightest irreverent deviation. Well… as we leave humor behind the Sonic Café sends it off with a bang with a stand up battle between two comedic legends of the deadpan one-liners. Steven Wright and Mitch Hedberg, together in a stand-up battle-royale. Supporting this comedic tour-de-force is a great music mix from 45 years, including Walk Off The Earth, Tom Petty, Amy Winehouse, Kings of Leon and many more. All straight ahead as we give humor the send off it deserves in our new post joke world. Don’t you wish everybody would just lighten up? Yeah, well anyway, hey here’s Too Much To Think About from the B-52’s, we’re 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 from KYAQ radio located 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)
