The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

This week Deep Dive is in Dire Straits. We hear about the Sultans of Swing, sing to our Brothers In Arms, re-live the story of Romeo and Juliet, and make Money For Nothing.

Mushroom FM keeps US Eastern time. On early Sunday morning, the US Eastern Time zone reverts to standard time as daylight saving ends.

For some listeners, particularly in the southern hemisphere, the start times of Mushroom Fm shows could change because the relationship between your time zone and Eastern US time will have changed. For example, in New Zealand and Australia, shows will start an hour later.

This week on the doo-wop corner we will be playing songs from the fifties and sixties. We will also have your emails and dedications and Halloween songs to make you smile. Tune in Sunday evenings from 6: to 8: Pm ET and Saturdays from 4: to 6: Am ET repeated for our friends in the UK. Tune in on your computers, your Victor Streams and your Smart Speakers. Tell Alexia to play mushroomfm.
See you there.

Yes, the long-awaited first volume of Joni Mitchell's archival material has been released, and I have it! Spanning the years 1963-1967, it covers her beginnings as a Folk musician among other Folk musicians as well as her development as the amazing song-writer we've come to know over the years. If you love early Joni, you'll love this boxed set! I'll be featuring it this week and focusing in on the massive amount of live material included here, and that won't even scratch the surface!

Affter you've enjoyed Mosen At Large, Mushroom FM's premier tech magazine and opinion show, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, during which I hope all your questions get answered and all your opinions get aired, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me in The Early Years where and when you'll enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
No nods to other decades or genres this week but a variety of things.

this week on Damo's All Day Breakfast, there's lots to talk about. It's an election weekend in my home state of Queensland so we'll talk accessible voting, and the slightly odd practice in Australia of the Democracy Sausage.
We'll also talk about the Melbourne cup, which is widely regarded as the race that stops the nation. There's another in our series of aussie cover versions, and the usual mix of great music and friendly chat.

Kia ora Mosen at largers. We’ve received some great contributions ahead of this weekend’s show, but never fear, there is always room for yours. So what are you waiting for? Send me some audio, write me some email. If we didn’t hear from our immense listening family, well, the show would go boom.
