HOUR ONE: Through the Eye of the Love Needle via Narrative Thread with DJ Chowderflap

This one’s for all you lovers out there this Valentine’s season. (And lovers of daytime television.) Let DJ Chowderflap guide you through a medley of disjointed tracks that she’ll string along a feeble narrative thread. It’s an odyssey for the ages—there’s sci-fi, seduction, other elements of fiction, Cabbage Patch Kid conception—all from Bob Baker’s extensive collection of records! But above all else, this is a love story. Kind of. Settle in, sweethearts. We’re threadin’ the needle of EL-OH-VEE-EE

HOUR TWO: Sunday Best with Jayboothie

Forget the rain! Imagine it’s a warm Sunday afternoon, you’ve got on your favorite dress, frilly white socks, and crisp new shoes. Your mom put your hair in two braids with yellow knockers at the ends that go clickity-clack as you run to your grandpa’s cherry red 1980s convertible Cadillac Coupe DeVille. You hop in, careful not to burn yourself on the hot leather interior, as he puts Diana Ross on the 8-track. Buckle up and vibe with Jayboothie to this funkadelic daydream, top down, wind blowing, making waves with your hand in your Sunday Best.
