Hello and Happy New Year!
I'm Alan Shore, the lecherous loose
cannon lawyer on not one, but two
hit television series - The Practice
and Boston Legal.
Welcome to Part 2 of Shady's
gala New Year extravaganza...
kicking-off 2023 in grand
style with music selections
from the newest members
of The Shady Bunch
deejay staff.
My new show on S-P-M-M Retrosonic Radio is called
Letch Dance
With Alan Shore.
It will feature dazzling performances by Legs & Co, Pan's People and
Ruby Flipper, the female terpsichore troupes on Top Of The Pops.
Occasionally I will treat you to rare glimpses of the dancing Go-Go girls
on Germany's Musikladen and other European music programs of the 70s.
So join me and my sidekick Denny Crane this year on what promises to be
the most exciting and entertaining show ever presented at Shady's Place -
Letch Dance
With Alan Shore.
Pan's People...
Ruby Flipper...
Legs & Co...
I dated 'em all,
and married 5 of
'em...or was it 6?
Denny Crane!
Hola mis amigos
y amigas!
As you recall from my previous
appearances, I'm Cisco Ramon...
mechanical engineering whiz kid
and youngest member of the team
of scientists at S.T.A.R. Labs on
the superhero TV series The Flash.
When I developed the metahuman
ability to see into the future, I took
the codename "Vibe." This year,
I am joining The Shady Bunch
DJ squad as host of a new show
on S-P-M-M Retro Radio called
Cisco's
VintaGe Vibes.
Just now, I peered into the future and saw good times ahead for you and me
on S-P-M-M. Here's a sample of what you'll see and hear on my show.

From late 1970, the pop-jazz band Blood, Sweat & Tears led by
David Clayton-Thomas with their top 20 hit-- "Lucretia Mac Evil!"

Hi, Everybody! It's me again,
Chris Griffin, the crazy mixed-up kid
on Family Guy. As you know from my
previous stints on Shady's blogs, I am
also a world class talent scout. Today
I'm excited to announce that Shady
has promoted me to a full time DJ
on S-P-M-M radio. Starting this
year, I will host my new show
Chris Griffin's
Psychotic Break
...a musical interlude that will
put you in touch with your
inner wild child.
To give you a hint of what's to come on my show, I present a song by Ratt,
the San Diego-based glam metal band of the 80s fronted by Stephen Pearcy.
Ratt is associated with comedy legend Milton Berle because he appeared in
two of the band's videos, and because "Uncle Miltie," as he was known by
millions of TV viewers, was the real life uncle of Ratt manager Marshall
Berle. Here now is Ratt on stage doing their top 40 Rock chart hit
from the fall of 1985-- "You're In Love!"
"You're In Love" - Ratt
(Oct./Nov. 1985, highest chart pos. #34 U.S. Rock,
#67 Canada/#82 UK/#89 Hot 100)
Hi, I'm Allie Pressman. Shady introduced
me last year. As you recall, I'm the main
character on the mystery drama web TV
series The Society. The show is about
a group of high school classmates who
return from a field trip to discover that
everyone in their town has vanished.
The teens need to figure out how to
survive on their own, govern and
police themselves and forge a
brave new world. My new show
here on S-P-M-M will be called
Society's Child.
It is only fitting that the records
I play flash back to the late 60s
when gentle people with flowers
in their hair created a new society
and tried to make a better world.

Here's the kind of song you'll hear on Society's Child...
Scottish troubadour Donovan's 1968 hit-- "Jennifer Juniper!"

AHHHOOOOOOO!
Happy New Year, bay-bay, from your old pal on the radio The Wolfman!
Yes, gracious, I'm back full time on S-P-M-M... the number one station for
a rock & roll nation. Starting this year, I'll be hosting a new show called
Wolfman Jack's
American Hot Wax
...and here's a sample of the kind of sounds you'll hear. It's the merry
Mr. Chuck Berry with a blast from the past... a chart topper
in the early months of 1958-- "Sweet Little Sixteen!"

Hello. I am Nina Sergeevna Krilova.
Do not believe what you read in
the newspaper. I come to you
From Russia
With Love!
I am a clerical worker turned KGB agent
on the FX network period spy thriller TV
show The Americans. I work at Soviet
Embassy in Washington, but much of
my time is spent...how you Americans
say?... making whoopee in safe house
with my secret lover, FBI agent Stan
Beeman. I serve him as an informant,
a "double agent." Yes, it is true. I am
Stan Beeman's...how you Americans
say?... under the covers angel.
Recently I received good news. Shady Del Knight has picked me to host
my own show starting soon here on S-P-M-M Retrosonic Radio.

My show is called
Nina Krilova's Glasnost

Alrigh’ mates? I'm D.I. Kate Bishop on the British comedy-drama police procedural
Vexed. I'm the better half of a detective duo with my partner, Jack Armstrong,
a relationship that's every bit as dysfunctional as my marriage.

I was chuffed to bits when I got word that Shady Del Knight has
selected me and six other celebrity Brit birds to host our own
radio show on S-P-M-M. Our new show is called
BRITISH BRITISH SWAG
..and here's a sample. From early 1967, it's The Spencer Davis Group
featuring singer-songwriter Steve Winwood doing their Hammond
organ-driven blues rock hit-- "I'm A Man!"

Hi, again! I'm Thea Queen. You might remember me from my previous
appearances and hosting stints at Shady's rave parties. Just in case your
memory needs refreshing, I'm Oliver's kid sister and the vigilante
avenger codename "Speedy" on the DC Comics superhero TV
series Arrow. I also am the owner of Verdant, Star City's
hottest nightclub. With credentials like those, it's no
surprise that Shady picked me to go full time and
host my own show on S-P-M-M. I'll be back
later this year with the cool sounds of
the Disco 70s and clubbin' 80s on
Thea Queen of Clubs
... a show that'll keep you out on the floor and begging for more.
