The PopCulteer
April 15, 2022

You know what? Wednesday I missed a cool event to plug in STUFF TO DO.

When I put STUFF TO DO together, I try to find all the cool shows with cool graphics so I can just post them here without stringing together clumps of words or something. Once in a great while, if I think a show looks really cool, but there’s no graphics, I’ll slap one together myself, sometimes using the image of David Hasselfoff with his giant doppelganger.

Now, this show has nothing to do with the Hasselhoff photo, but Three’s Company Blues is having a CD Release party with Hurl Brickbat at The Shop in Dunbar Saturday night, and there’s a really cool graphic for it that you can see right here…

 

At some point soon, your PopCulteer is going to have to start making it out to local shows. Finding the balance between experiencing live music and not dying of COVID can be tricky. But, then,  I’m immuno-compromised.  If you’re properly vaccinated, you really ought to check out the local scene. And buy some merch and music.

AND while we’re at it, there’s another cool FREE event at The West Virginia Music Hall of Fame Saturday…

Go get yourself into the Easter spirit!

Meanwhile, the rest of today’s post is all about a new episode of MIRRORBALL on The AIR.

Luckily for you, it’s a great hour of Disco classics courtesy of my lovely wife, Mel Larch,  So please enjoy this bright, shiny new episode of MIRRORBALL which will be followed by a very cool recent edition of Sydney’s Big Electric Cat.  The AIR is PopCult‘s sister radio station. You can hear these shows on The AIR website, or just click on the embedded player at the top right column of this blog.

At 2 PM, Mel Larch uncorks a new MIRRORBALL with no set theme, but there is more than the usual hint of jazz grooving around these dancefloor beats.

It’s a big sparkly time capsule, shaped like a MIRRORBALL, for your boogery enjoyment (“boogery” is a word, right?).

Check out the playlist…
