Session 0113 - Double Shots II: Electric Boogaloo (Airdate: 4/30/23)

Like the graphic says, one of radio's tried-and-true gimmicks returns to Auto Reverse - double shots! Taking a page from last week's playlist, we brought back US Girls for two tremendous songs. And of course, a special appearance by William Shatner really rounded things out. Maybe the most important thing, though, is that we played the anthem of the Young People's Uprising of 1989 in an alternate universe, Electric Youth by the great Debbie Gibson.

Session 0111 - Covers, Vol. 1 (Airdate: 4/16/23)

This week we featured interesting, transformative and unexpected covers, in the first of what we hope will be a regular feature. There's certainly enough interesting covers out there. If you have a cover song that's unexpected, drop us a line and maybe we'll feature it in a future show. We once again apologize for the Eagles-adjacent content (a double shot, no less!), but the covers of Hotel California are each transformative enough to erase any memory of...the Eagles.

Session 0110 - Unthinkable Surprises (feat. Eden & Elias DiMichele) (Airdate: 4/2/23)

Eden & Elias DiMichele of DiMichele's Barber & Coffee in Cromwell joined us, taking over the entire night's playlist. One of the benefits of having guests on the show is the new perspectives they share - we learned about a lot of cool new (to us) artists this week.

Hooverphonic - Pink Fluffy Dinosaurs
