Hello poppies! It’s time to play a game I first heard done on The KFOG Morning Show. I fine tuned the game to meet my own needs and to showcase the musical curiosity aspect on my show. The premise is simple. The execution is hard. The music is amazing! Enjoy!
PopOff! is an “anything goes” musical show hosted by Bay Area DJ Bear. Sometimes it’s a theme, sometimes it’s a big ol’ birthday shout out tribute show to a specific artist(s). Shows occur on 1st and 3rd Mondays with the occasional Thursday Bonus Beats. 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!!
