Hi, everyone!

Well, the bad news is, we’re wrapping up our month-long theme of Halloween harmonies to haunt our heads and really get us into the spirit of the spooky season.

… The good news is, we have a fearfully fun jam session to wrap it all up as tightly as a mummy!

Last week, we jammed to songs about both the supernatural and the sci-fi sides of Halloween.

This week, we’re so close to the actual holiday, we’re just going to dive into our bag of tasty tunes to dig out some…

I got a “rock”… Get it? “Rock,” like “rock music”? Never mind…

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…

Well, as long as it’s not a cursed coin…

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…

Cha-ching!

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…

I love it already!

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.

… What did?

What I’m Thankful for

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!

With that, let’s get started!

Svengoolie’s “Zombie No. 5” Is WNUR’s “Track of the Day”!

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!

Spend Saturday Night with “Svengoolie”!

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.)
