Each week in July, I celebrate a state’s music heritage with a mini episode but when California popped up on the Theme-A-Tron, there was no way a mini episode was going to cut it. And even with a full episode there was too much to wade through so I did what any smart programmer does… I made somebody else do all the work by making it all request. So here’s a microscopic fraction of California’s musical legacy that kicks serious ass.
PopOff! is an “anything goes” musical show hosted by me DJ Bear. Every episode is a unique sonic road trip through the multitudes of genres, eras, and musicians in recorded music. So if you have an open mind for musical exploration climb into the PopOff! Bubble and let’s get to it!!
Also, you can catch PopOff! live Thursdays from 7-10 on KBear Radio. Featuring more songs and after parties with more songs. Plus my other live streamed shows occurring throughout the week. I put the roar in more musical variety. Just join me here at KBear Radio.
