Sunday, March 21st, it's a whole day of alphabet madness!!

Tune in for an entire day of the ABC's of music.  S is for "Schedule" (All times are PST):

Noon:  Xtian's Pepperland Spicerack racks up the alphabet!
2 pm:  Switched on Audrey's Pretty World celebrates Elis Regina's birthday, then celebrates the alphabet!
4 pm:  Java's in the Bachelor Pad hipster house!
6 pm:  John T.'s Thrifting for Tunes continues its Encyclopedia of Sound experiment with E - G artists!
7 pm:  Tothar's Beyondophonic Action Hour does the same with G - H artists!

To make up for the recent lack of all-exotica shows on TFT (as I focused on other stuff like movie soundtracks and the like), I've just put together the first in a series of shows called "Quiet Village vs. ?" pitting about 10 different versions of the ultimate exotica classic against 10 versions of another popular exotica tune.

On March 14, Quiet Village goes head-to-head with Jungle Drums. Not a competition... just a chance for you to compare and choose the versions you like best.

On The Beyondophonic Action Hour, Sunday March 7 and 14, it's Tothar's annual response to "Christmas in July." Tune in for an onslaught of boffo and baffling German-language pop, mostly from the 1960s. 

First up, an all-new installment on March 7. Among other Deutschland delights, this show will explore Germany's bizarre, widespread musical fixation with American Wild West cowboys. Then, on March 14, an encore presentation of Oktoberfest in March 2009. Along with gobs of go-go goodness, it included a block of hot German mambos/cha-chas/sambas, plus some swingin' Deutsche Tom Jones covers that caused a minor uproar in the Lux Chatroom last March. 

The Beyondophonic Action Hour with Tothar: Sundays 7pm Pacific, 10pm Eastern, here on LuxuriaMusic.

LuxuriaMusic DJ and noted Montreal language authority (Hah!) John T is quoted in a recent series on "Montreal English" featured in The Montreal Gazette.

Here is the link to the article with John's comments. Links to other articles in the series can be found on the same page. Worth a read...

Hey all you movie lovers!

Tune in Monday, March 8th (the night after the Oscars) for the 4th annual Netty Awards!!  Strike has swept the awards for the last three years running!  Will he make it a 4pete?  Tune in to find out.  (Let's hope he doesn't, given his penchant for NOT preparing acceptance speeches - boy, can he prattle on!) 

Immediately following the Nettys, Strike presents the 4th Annual Kitsch Niche Oscar Soundtrack Special.  3 hours of the coolest, hippest, movietastic soundtracks from the 50's through the 70's.

It all starts at 7 pm PST only on Luxuriamusic!  Can't make it?  Download it as a podcast afterwards from the website!  You'll thank your agent and the lord for the opportunity!  You'll like it!  You'll REALLY like it!

Movie music (What else? It's Oscar night!) on Thrifting for Tunes this evening.
Re-enjoy this previously enjoyed instalment of TFT at 6 pm PST/9 pm EST!

My long-awaited Duke Mitchell special...
of interest to perhaps no one else but me.
But in Duke's words:
"You're in or you're in the way."
So tune in!

Duke and Frank get it on...

In between B-52s tours and Superions recording sessions, the mighty Fred Schneider squeezed in a sequel to his 2009 Beyondophonic phone-in co-host extravaganza. In addition to vintage favorites from the Tothar's and Fred's record collections, you'll hear a saucy (and saucer-y) track from Fred's new Superions EP, hitting stores Feb. 23 on CD and vinyl. Tune in this Sunday, 10pm Eastern / 7pm Pacific.
