“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Spooky Supernatural Songs (2021)”!

Leave a reply

Hi, everyone!

About last week…

I wrote, recorded, edited, and sent the show to WNUR as usual. However, due to an error at the station, it wasn’t uploaded and, thus, didn’t air. I’m working with the higher-ups to get the show aired ASAP. Stay tuned (pun intended) to find out when

Until then, I hope you’ve studied your spell books and crystal balls, and have your broomsticks ready, because it’s time to break out our cauldrons and wands and explore all the local haunted houses––– and haunted mansions––– and conjure up the finest…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Spooky Sci-Fi Songs (2021)”!

Hi, everyone!

Now that last week’s jam session has the spirit of the spooky season in our souls, let’s explore the many areas of the season!

I’ve rigged up all the equipment, pulled all the switches, and prepared all the chemicals, so put on your goggles, gloves, and any other safety equipment you think you might need in case our experiments go awry, as we examine our slab of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Dungeon Dance Ditties (2021)”!

Leave a reply

Hi, everyone!

It’s officially October, which means we can officially creak open the coffin of creepy choruses to celebrate the spooky season!

Due to various world events and technology events, we weren’t able to have any of our traditional Halloween jam sessions last year. So, since it’s been a bit, we need to do something to shake the dust off our bones and get grooving again!

And what better way to do that than with a deluge of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Back to School Beats (2021)”!

Leave a reply

Hi, everyone!

This time of year, so many students are headed back to the classroom, whether in person, virtually, or in a hybrid model.

It’s tough to return to pretty much anything after a break, especially with how chaotic things are right now with all sorts of things being cancelled, rescheduled, converted to virtual, or just left up in the air until further notice.

So, to help everyone with the transition, let’s study up to prepare ourselves with a backpack full of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Labor Lyrics (2021)”!

Leave a reply

Hi, everyone!

It’s been a bit… again!

But this time, I have an update in the “Hard Drive Saga”!

So far, two different companies have said they’re unable to extract any data from my external backup hard drive. (If you have any suggestions, please let me know!)

But, with some help, I uncovered an older hard drive that has most of my music. Not all of it, but a huge chunk of it. And so…

Jammin’ with Jamie is back!

Jammin’ with Jamie is a labor of love, and so, appropriately enough, we’re back just in time to jam to a load of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Birthday Beats (2021)”!

Leave a reply

Hi, everyone!

It’s been a bit!

I’m still engaged in the “Battle of the Hard Drives,” working to extract my years’ worth of music and videos from hard drives I’d used to back up my computer before my most recent backup failed… which, of course, was while my computer was getting repaired.

But anyway, I decided to pull whatever I could find online and patch and stitch together a brand new prerecorded show this week because… tomorrow, June 26, is my birthday!

So, as a little “birthday present to myself,” this week’s theme is…

“Jammin’ with Jamie”: Mike Zara Interview!

Leave a reply

Hi, everyone!

It’s been a bit! Here’s the situation…

For the safety of its DJs, 89.3 WNUR FM is operating on a very limited basis for the foreseeable future. For Jammin’ with Jamie, this means our shows will have to be remote and prerecorded.

Some of you know that my computer was in and out of repairs for months, requiring me to work from various backup hard drives. Then, one of those hard drives very suddenly failed before I was able to update my other backups. Trying to restore my library of music and videos has been a daunting, painstaking task, and I’m not out of the woods on it yet.

When we do resume our more musical jam sessions, I will do what I can to announce themes in advance so everyone can get their requests in beforehand.

But, in the meantime, we can still jam!

This week, we’re featuring another Jammin’ with Jamie interview, with…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Friendship Follies (2020) (Part 1)”!

Leave a reply

Hi, everyone!

Now that Valentine’s Day has come and gone, it’s time to shift the focus to a type of relationship that, in my opinion, is often overlooked in media.

Through the romance roller coaster, who’s there to cheer you on and cheer you up? When you’re struggling at work, with health, or with anything else in life, who’s there to offer a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on? And when you just feel like having some fun, who’s there to share in the laughter and fun?

It’s time for them to get their due with this week’s flock of fabulous…
