Hi, everyone!
There are still more holiday/Christmas/winter tunes under the tree!
Since this Jammin’ with Jamie jam session will jam the morning of Christmas Eve and the first night of Chanukah, many of you will be starting your holiday celebrations, and we’re going to help with some sensational…
Hi, everyone!
We’re still unwrapping refrains for the holiday/Christmas/winter season!
This week, we’ll be welcoming some seasonal friends to jam with us!
Hi, everyone!
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, a new season of holiday festivities is upon us!
As you break out the decorations and holiday clothes, grab some hot chocolate and turn your radio to Jammin’ with Jamie as we start…
Hi, everyone!
Thank you for sharing this magical broomstick ride through spooky seasonal songs with us! We have come to our final Halloween-themed jam session (for now), and this time, we’re going to take our theme as literally as possible!
When the bell tolls six on Saturday morning, it will be time for…
Hi, everyone!
This is my one-hundredth blog entry! Woo-hoo!
As I have made clear in so many previous posts here (and on other sites), I’m a big fan of horror (and horror comedy). I have a special place in my heart for monster movies. Monster movie fans often dub ourselves, “Monster Kids.”
This week on Jammin’ with Jamie, we’re unleashing our inner Monster Kids––– or maybe, for some of you Jammers, discovering them––– with one of my personal favorite of our Halloween jam session themes…
Hi, everyone!
I always encourage my fellow Jammers to sing and dance along with me during our jam sessions. This week, the focus will be on the latter.
The amount of spooky songs that are somehow related to dancing is, well, shocking… pun intended!
So let’s give our muscles a jolt as we jam to…
Hi, everyone!
If you’re a loyal Jammin’ with Jamie Jammer, you know we love to celebrate the latest film releases with appropriately-themed jam sessions!
This week sees the release of Ghostbusters, starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, directed by Paul Feig, and written by Katie Dippold and Paul Feig.
Here’s the trailer…
So grab your proton packs, zip up your jumpsuits, and lock and load your best one-liners, because we’re about to bust into a jam session that’s guaranteed to be a scream with a roster of…
Hi, everyone!
I’m sure you’ve all heard of the phenomenon of “Christmas in July.” At its core, it’s a way of bringing the joy of the holiday season two seasons ahead of time.
So, why not do the same for other holidays?
I secluded myself in my laboratory to concoct a solution, and I emerged with a new creation…
Hi, everyone!
It turns out I misread WNUR’s schedule, so we actually have one more Halloween-themed jam session to squeeze into the spooky season!
On October 10, Rich Koz (a.k.a. “Svengoolie”) was honored for his thirty-five years as Svengoolie (formerly “Son of Svengoolie”) at the Museum of Broadcast Communications (Museum.tv) in Chicago. It was an amazing event, and I highly encourage all of you to go to the MBC and check out all of the great exhibits they have there––– including, of course, the brand new Svengoolie exhibit that was unveiled that night! The exhibit includes his original coffin that was also used by Jerry G. Bishop, the original Svengoolie.
Mr. Goolie himself (and me) at the MBC! It’s always great to see you, Sven!
Also, October 31, 2014 has been declared “Svengoolie/Rich Koz” day in both the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois in his honor. Congratulations, Rich Koz! You certainly deserve it!
Of course, in case anyone hasn’t heard yet, the Queen of Halloween herself, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is hosting a brand new series on Hulu (Hulu.com), entitled, 13 Nights of Elvira, that I also highly recommend!
So, with all this news about horror movie hosts, what else can we do this week but jam to some…
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…
