The 22-year-old self-taught musician, Omar Apollo, will be making stopping here in the DMV on Friday, the 13th of December. This show is likely to be magical. When Apollo released his first single ‘Ugotme’ on Spotify about 2 years ago, overnight, the song was at about 20,000-30,000 streams.

In the song “Waiting”, Mac Ayres said “Last year, everybody had their doubts. This year, every single show’s sold out”. This declaration of positivity is one of the many things that keeps me and many other listeners coming back for more from him.

I got hit with a curveball in my Italian test last week, we had to fill in the lyrics to “Soldi” by Mahmood. We listened to the song 3 times in a row, and it’s quite the earworm. Since I couldn’t get this beautiful man out of my head, here are my initial reactions to Mahmood.

Join Dominick of Electric Candle Radio and Dave of Dave's Record Collection for the annual celebration of Thanksgiving. It is freeform radio with all the trimmings. Music, comedy and spoken word about Thanksgiving, eating, drinking and being merry.

No need to get decked out or even mind your table manners. This is the Thanksgiving you're always wanted. Bad table manners, chewing with your mouth open, reaching across the table, belching, eating and drinking to excess...all the things of which Thanksgiving is made.

Dave and Dominick will be your hosts on this audio adventure Saturday November 23, 2019 from 3:00PM till 10:00PM.

In keeping with tradition, the broadcast will include Arlo's reading of Alice's Restaurant along with other Thanksgiving staples. We hope you'll join us for the broadcast. If you miss any of the broadcasts you may download it from the "Show Archive MP3" page.

So tune to 88.1FM or listen online beginning at 3:00 PM!
