Hi, everyone!
We’re continuing on with our month-long theme of Halloween harmonies to haunt our heads and really get us into the spirit of the spooky season!
Last week, we jammed our way through the roster of the various creatures that tend to lurk around this time of year. But have you ever noticed that the scares that surface at this time each year tend to fall into one of two categories?
Well, this week, we’re going to look at both sides of the coin, with a series of…
Hi, everyone!
It’s time! It’s October, so it’s high time that we all got into the spirit of the season! Now this time of year brings a diverse menagerie of creatures our way, so let’s use this week’s jam session to see what we’re up against! It’s time for…
Hi, everyone!
I apologize in advance for reminding you of this… but on April 15, income taxes are due.
But wait! Whether you’re still working on them, are still putting them off, or are actually already done and just want to enjoy your accomplishment, we have a great jam session for you, as we jam to…
Hi, everyone!
Valentine’s Day is a very divisive holiday. Most people either seem to love it with all their hearts or loathe it with every fiber of their beings.
Either way, though, Valentine’s Day is here again. But no matter how you feel about the holiday, I can guarantee you that you’ll love this week’s jam session, as we jam to…
Hi, everyone!
I’m sure you saw this coming. With only one last jam sessions remaining before we take a brief hiatus until January, it had to come up eventually.
Hi, everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
This is the time of year to remind ourselves of all that we’re thankful for. While I was doing just that, I figured I might as well write down my thoughts and share them with all of you!
Hi, everyone!
I hope all of you are having a Happy Halloween!
In the spirit of the season (pun intended), I’ve put a couple of pictures from recent Svengoolie appearances after the jump!
Hi, everyone!
I have very exciting news! 89.3 WNUR FM (WNUR.org) has recently restarted our “Track of the Day” series. DJs, as well as producers and other members of WNUR’s Executive Board, submit music tracks that they believe deserve some time in the spotlight, along with a description for each track. As the name implies, a different music track is featured each weekday on the station’s website, WNUR.org.
Today, Svengoolie’s (Svengoolie.com) parody song, “Zombie No. 5” (to the tune of “Mambo No. 5”) was chosen to be the “Track of the Day”––– and just in time for Halloween!
Here’s the link to the post: Svengoolie – “Zombie No. 5”. (The “bonus fun fact” at the end was added by Gillian Levy, another member of WNUR’s Executive Board. Thanks, Gillian!)
I’d like to give a special shout-out and huge “Thank you!” to Dave Fuentes, of the horror-themed blog, Terror from Beyond the Daves (TerrorDaves.com), who uploaded the music video featured in the post, which allowed WNUR to post the track! Thank you, Dave!
If you’d like a refresher on who Svengoolie is and why you should need to watch his show on Saturday night, you can get it right here!
Hi, everyone!
I’ve been writing quite a bit about my radio show, Jammin’ with Jamie, lately, so I think it’s high time I actually, well, wrote about something else!
It’s officially Halloween season, so I’ll write about something––– or rather, someone––– often associated with Halloween. Despite this association, however, he’s around all year long, and if you ever need something to lift your spirits (pun intended) at the end of the week on a Saturday night, he’s there to help.
If you’ve had the best week of your life, he’ll make it even better. If you’ve had the worst week of your life, he’ll help you end the week on a high note. I can say both of these statements with certainty because I have experienced both. No matter what your mood may be, he’ll brighten it. You’ll find yourself smiling, laughing, and thoroughly enjoying yourself.
His name is Svengoolie. And if you haven’t seen his show, you should. Scratch that: you need to. “Who’s Svengoolie?” you ask?
This is Svengoolie! (And me. At White Castle.)
Hi, everyone!
First of all, I know I’ve been writing quite a bit about Jammin’ with Jamie. This will change soon: I promise! (Hint: come back this Saturday at 9:00 am.)
Second, I’ve recently found out that “Sportsathon” will be taking over 89.3 WNUR FM for twenty-four hours next Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately, this means our jam session will be preempted next week. So, after this week, our next jam session will take place on November 2: same time, same station!
This also means that this will be our last explicitly Halloween-themed jam session––– well, for a while, anyway. (There’s a very high likelihood that another Halloween-themed jam session will pop up again before we go on summer hiatus. The individual songs, on the other hand, may come around again at any time.)
So, in this week’s jam session, we’re going to have two intertwined (and related) themes, as we jam to…
