Mawkish Twaddle with Bob N., No. 316, 10/21/23

This week’s program proves, once again, that Mawkish Twaddle is the most whimsical radio program on the San Francisco dial – and maybe beyond. There are exciting new tracks from Jean Caffeine, Luces Negras, Smoke Fairies, The Klittens, Portable Radio, Herr Wade, Jonny Swift, Robert Rotifer, The Len Price 3, The Happy Somethings, EchoWave, Titanic, Joey Nebulous, The Photocopies, Hard Copy, Rat Columns, Anna Hillburg, The Wind Ups, Trotski Nautique, Faith Healer, Lost Girls, Soft Covers, The Smashing Times, Wimps, Adiós Amores, Blonde Redhead, Francis Lung, The Missing Thimbles, Feeling Figures, Ducks Ltd., Ichiban, Lightheaded, David Christian And The Pinecone Orchestra, Uni Boys, Emma Anderson, and The Bug Club.Also new but listed separately to avoid using semicolons in the preceding paragraph (since they’ve become much more expensive lately than commas): The Reds, Pinks And Purples.There are also newly compiled selections from Dolly Mixture and The Motifs, and a previously unissued soundtrack cut from Bo Harwood & John Cassavetes.From the past: Herman’s Hermits, Po! (RIP Ruth Miller), and four songs from Dwight Twilley/Dwight Twilley Band (RIP).
