Cristy, Honcho, and William devote two hours of Rock Geek F.M. to the three members of the Police, the Police, and other projects they’ve been involved with. There is a lot of pent-up passion for this band released here, as well as deeper tracks. Listen, Love, Learn, the arresting music of the Police.

The most succesful power trio of all time.

Songs About Coffee?

It looks like Cristy and I get to move our show Rock Geek F.M. to Monday evenings. To celebrate what might be our last Saturday 8 a.m. rock show, we’re thinking about doing a show on songs about coffee.

Many of these songs are too cheesy to consider (“Java Jive”), so this is proving challenging. So far we have:

Black Coffee in Bed, Squeeze
Black Coffee, Black Flag
Coffee Song, Cream
Free Coffee, Ben Folds
1974, Robyn Hitchcock

A couple of cups and we’ll have no problem filling two hours with music and chatter.

Cuppa love. Luvva cup.

Women Making Waves: Isobel Campbell

Cristy keeps with her mission of defolking the women’s music show with a two-hour special orbiting around the work of Isobel Campbell. Wow.

Isobell Campbell.

The Moon

SONGS ABOUT THE MOON AND THE HISTORY OF APOLLO 11 on Rock Geek FM. This is a fun ride. One of my favorites. Come visit the dark side with us.

Honcho’s Halloween, Songs About Death

An early, haunted, spirited, sleep-deprived, headless romp through horror movie soundtracks, songs about death, unexplained phenomena, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This is a fun download.

Bugs!

On this episode we play songs about bugs. Insects, arachnids, and worms. Ew! Ew!

Songs About Television

Saturday morning ear cartoons: songs about television for the next hour with Cristy and William. Get a bowl of cereal and listen online with your jammies on.

We just cleaned!

Long Long Songs

Are we cheating? Longer songs=less preparation. But so much more to discuss about the excesses and pretentiousness of art rock, rock operettas, or songs that overstep the traditional boundaries of their pop format.
