I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 497. This time the Sonic Café presents a music mix that spans 55 years and leans eclectic in all the best ways possible. Listen for hard rocker’s Danzig with Mother from 1988, Dire Straits Mark Knopfler with the inside story on the bands 1985 hit Money For Nothing, also the Goo Goo Dolls and Arctic Monkeys. Then something from our, that’s just weird department. Listen for swing, revival jazz-rock band The Squirrel Nut Zippers their 2001 hit Put A Lid On It. We’ll also roll another Sonic Café twin spin. Around the bottom of the hour listen for Foghats 1972 hit, I Just Want To Make Love To You, followed by the OG, Muddy Waters with a modern, electrified take from his Electric Mud era. Then we’ll learn how McDonald’s became a 200-billion company in another Sonic Café classic movie moment. And later, a question: when McDonald’s, Walmart, Subway, Home Depot and Applebee’s line every exit coast-to-coast… we have to ask ourselves, is this really what the American Dream was all about? So let’s get to it. From South Korea, a made-for-TV band became the real deal: The song is Not But Disco, this is Kardl, and we’re the Sonic Café. Scott ClarkFri, 21 Aug 2026 15:44:24 +0000
