Hello Poppies! Welcome to this two part series focusing on hit songs and classics that all have one thing in common … they have (mostly) no words. Part one dives into some of the biggest songs of the big band swing era, rock ‘n’roll in the 50s and the 60s soul and surf sounds, plus some other pop culture icon of music. Part 2 will descend into disco and new wave, then tribal dance scenes of house, techno and the rave. Enjoy!
Hello poppies please enjoy my 31 days of women’s history month streams. Each stream celebrates a random year in popular music and will feature only female acts/acts with female members. And often the stream will center around an iconic album released by a female artist that year. And all bonus beats will be from debut albums by artists that went onto to greater success.
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.
