Episode Description

What happens when a sudden ultimatum forces you to find a job overnight? Little did I know, this path would soon involve me in the Cabbage Patch doll phenomenon, handling name change requests and birth certificates amid the craze. Reflecting on these times, I ponder how the digital age has revolutionized the way we tackle tasks and access information.

Get ready to wander down memory lane through the late '70s and early '80s, as we reminisce about discovering music through workplace radios and those nostalgic K-Tel compilation albums. We'll explore how song length plays into streaming stats and feel the psychedelic folk-rock vibes of Sid Barrett's "The Madcap Laughs."

We look back at the first #1 song of the 70's "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" and its connection to the film 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.' It's the 40th anniversary of John Fogerty's "Centerfield" and believe it or not he was sued for sounding like himself. Let's reconnect with the musical tapestries that shaped our tastes. It's a celebration of musical diversity and the enduring impact of unexpected tunes on our lives.

"Music in My Shoes" where music and memories intertwine.

Welcome to Song and a Chat. This is the podcast where you'll have the pleasure of listening to a new song each week - plus, you'll get to step into the shoes of a songwriter : You'll hear about the background of the song, the inspiration, how/ why the song came into being. After the song finishes, I'll go over the lyrics and finish each episode by looking at the song from a songwriting point of view. If you just want the song and no talk, the time where the song kicks in will be in the title of each episode.Hi, my name is Pete Pascoe. I am a performer and composer - I love lyrics and I love a melody. I play piano and sing. I have a number of albums to my name. I have written over 800 songs. Of course, not all of these songs I written will make it onto an album. As a songwriter, the first step for a new song is ( or was ) to record The Kitchen Sink Radio Podcast with your host Elizabeth Klisiewicz Elizabeth Klisiewicz I have been involved with radio since 1978. I started my journey as an AM radio DJ, then became an FCC licensed DJ who worked at WMUA at UMass Amherst and landed later at community run station WTCC in Springfield. Years went by and then I taught myself how to produce Internet radio broadcasts. I had stints at three stations, most recently at the excellent Eardrumbuzz Radio. I am now an independent podcaster who produces a monthly music show, only available on this site. In 2023, I will reopen my Patreon page as podcasting is not cheap or free, nor is the music I buy. I play an excellent mix of indie rock, post punk, psychedelia, new wave, synth pop, shoegaze, dream pop, and tons of other genres. Please follow my podcast if you like what you hear. Thank you!
