LuxuriaMusic Beatles Day! Celebrate the 51st anniversary of the Fab Four’s first single release, “Love Me Do”, by tuning in for a deeply wild and sometimes wicked tribute, starting at 6 AM Pacific and ending at 12 Midnight Pacific

6:00 am: John Trivisonno
Thrifting for Tunes’ John T. has the honour and privilege of kicking off this year’s
Beatles Day on LuxuriaMusic.com!

Says JT: “Listeners will be hearing a ton of Beatles covers throughout the day, so I’m starting off with a small sampling of just 11 songs… but I’ll be playing 2 very different sounding versions of each, back to back, showcasing the wide array of interpretations various artists have brought to the Beatles’ oeuvre. Tune in for Beatles covers by artists ranging from the Carlos Piper Orquestra and Johnny Puleo to The Waikikis and Helmut Zacharias!”

7:00 am: Tothar
Tothar successfully achieves a 60-minute “Hey Jude”/”Michelle”/”Yesterday”-Free Zone with obscure, curious and compelling arrangements of 19 different Beatle classics. Caffeinate your Beatles Day morning with Beyondophonic Action that will range from go-go to galactic, from harmonicas to sitars, from Dick Schory to the Jam. A spotlight feature will focus on groovy Beatles covers as released on the London Records Phase 4 label.

8:00 am: Paul Kennedy
Make it a good morning, good morning, good morning! Have a good day sunshine. It won’t be just a day in the life, day tripper. Tune in to Nightscape with Paul Kennedy on Beatles Day at Luxuriamusic for a “Hard Day’s Nightscape.”

9:00 am: David Ponak
Please join DJ David Ponak from 9-10 am as he brings “The Nice Age” to Pepperland.

He’ll be pleased to please you as he holds your hand through an hour of Beatle-iscious sounds from the deepest and darkest corners of his collection.

10:00 am: DJ Lady Capo
Here comes the sun! Wake up with Lady Capo and her favorite Beatle, George! You’ll be on cloud 9 as you experience her unique blend of Harrisongs including Beatles favorites and George’s solo work. We’ll be waiting for you in the chat! You won’t want to miss this one.

11:00 am Andrew Sandoval
Andrew Sandoval’s “Come To The Sunshine” Beatles Day special on Luxuriamusic.com will feature one-a-kind mixes, BBC radio recordings and 1960’s covers of the Fab Four’s music.

12:00 pm: Switched On Audrey
There’s no telling what’s in store when Pretty World’s Switched On Audrey starts at noon. Since the “No Beatles Music” edict has been lifted, she just might play the very first record she ever owned: The Beatles, 1962-1966. Or will she…?

1:00 pm T/B/A

2:00 am Michael Quercio and Lina Litonjua
The Michael Quercio Paisley Underground Consortium will showcase how Michael believes that the original Paul McCartney actually did die and how an incredibly talented doppleganger took his place in the Beatles historic rise to fame. Tune in and be entertained despite yourself.

3:00 pm: Lee Joseph
Lee Joseph, host of Over Under Sideways Down brings to LuxuriaMusic’s Beatles Day a selection of Beatles recording sessions and un(officially) issued mixes and versions of songs spanning “Please Please Me” through “Abbey Road” plus, quite possibly, a couple of whacked covers including a tap dance cover version of the Fab Four’s later hit songs….

4:00 pm: Derrick Bostrom
Every deejay at Luxuriamusic has their own stash of favorite Fab-four-Related material, and we at “C’mon! Live A Little are no exceptions. In fact it would border on the truly miraculous if you didn’t find significant overlap among our various lists of cover, tributes, oddities and what-have-yous. Anyway, this Saturday,“C!LAL” presents an hour’s worth of some of the stuff we found lying around the house. Here’s hoping you discover something you haven’t already heard a hundred thousand times before.

5:00 pm: Carl Howard
It’s coming up on 5 pm, and you’ve now been drowning in Beatles- and Beatles-adjacent tributes for almost twelve hours. How can Carl Howard and Your One True “Space Patrol!” possibly toss in a lifeline? How about the fire of Soul and
the brimstone of Funk? How about the invigorating throb of the New Wave? That and more sandwiched into an hour, with a totally psychedelic and fully annotated playlist to help you follow along. Plus, tune in during the show to find out how to
download an expanded 90 minute version… for free!

6:00 pm: Gene Sculatti and Gary Schneider- My Dinner with Mr. Moonlight
Open Mynd Excursion host Gary Schneider and Atomic Cocktail producer Gene Sculatti, two guys who experienced the Beatles’ arrival in real time, sit around and talk: about initial impressions upon hearing them on the radio, about the fake Beatles LPs that flooded the stores, various Fifth Beatles, American boys singing about “gulls,” the band’s impact on American culture, reactions to Beatles music as it changed, and meeting (two of) the Beatles. Music will be played, opinions candidly expressed.

7:00 – 9:00 pm: Strike
Join the man whom Ringo calls ‘the 12,874th Beatle’ – the Kitsch Niche’s STRIKE -for TWO hours of Beatle-ish madness! Wacky tributes, horrific covers, awful break-ins, fake mop-tops, funky versions, sing-along instrumentals, barking dogs, and who knows…even a special visit from Sir Paul himself? Nah. It’d never happen. Even so, he guarantees a good time had by all! How do you find the show? Turn left at Greenland! Or, tune in from 7 – 9 pm PST

9:00 pm: Ron Sures
Hey, have you heard of The Beatles? It turns out they were pretty good! HOW good?
Join me, Ron (Sures) for an hour full of “Beatles Day” fun on Luxuriamusic.com, and we’ll find out together! I’ll be “Happy To Show You”! (Get it?) Get ready for some great Beatles covers, plus maybe all of John & Yoko’s “Two Virgins” and “Life With The Lions”?? Okay, not all of it – But maybe a minute or two! All of “Live Peace In Toronto”? Okay, no. But join me! It’ll be fun, I promise!

10:00 pm: TBA

11:00 pm: Howie Pyro
Liars, cheaters, thieves & exploiteers all saw the perfect wallet stuffer in the Fab Four. And early in the game before the names, faces & identities were cemented in stone, the people in hack studios pumping out 20 LPs a day to cash in on any quick fad of the moment for teens had the “three for a dollar” record racks of department stores packed with records by The Bootles, The Bottles, The Bratles, The Liverpools, The Four Fabs, etc etc. loads of 45s were also flying outta small labels by The American Beatles, & songs like The Beatle Bomb & Frankenstein Meets The Beatles were rampant. There were as many anti- Beatle records as faux four records. And there should have been! In the wild, wild, world of Intoxica Radio these records never stopped being released and are way bigger hits than any Beatle record could ever be. Wanna step off a cultural cliff & fall into the inside-out a go go dimension of Howie Pyro’s Intoxica Radio? Then tune in for the LAST hour of LuxuriaMusic’s Beatles Day.

Wed, August 28 – Over Under Sideways Down returns LIVE on LuxuriaMusic.com

This coming Wednesday, I’ll be returning to the LuxuriaMusicstudios, recovered from Tiki Oasis and Surf Guitar 101, for my first live Over Under Sideways Down in over a month, bringing you Part III of “Music from the Random Stacks of Records in my Living Room.”  The show feature a variety of new acquisitions plus gems pulled from my music library and for whatever reason, not yet filed away, including a mixture of music from loud to lite to ludicrous – from rock to raga to ridiculous. I will also be doing a segment of tracks from recent as well as upcoming, as-of-yet Dionysus Records releases with tracks by Creepxotica, The Satelliters, The Gears, Ruby Dee and The Snakehandlers, The Skip Heller Combo, The Dukes of Hamburg, Replikas, Jason Lee and the R.I.P. Tides and more!

This year, Tiki Oasis explores the Hawaiian influence on American music. Part Americana, part Hawaiiana, Hulabilly is an American music style derived from the blending of Rockabilly and Haole Hawaiian music. The live musical entertainment at this year’s four-day Polynesian Pop festival/celebration features numerous roots and rockabilly performers, a couple of Elvis (the King of Hulabilly) salutes as well as the essential exotica / surf / instrumental sounds Tiki Oasis is known for.  DJs will be covering the gamut of these musical styles as well and this year, LuxuriaMusic.com will be featuring their DJs in the indoor marketplace.

Two current and one future Dionysus artists will be playing the event this year. Big Sandy, whose still in-print first album, “Fly Rite With” was released by the label in 1989, will be headlining the event at a special Sunday Hoedown with the legendary El Vez. Surf / Exotica creeps, Creepxotica who have released their “Haunted Bossa Nova” LP on Dionysus this year, will be playing at the Bali Hai Meet and Mingle on Thursday Aug. 15, along with The Fishermen, featuring Brian Lease, former vibe player of  ’90s Dionysus lounge sensations, Frenchy, and Tiki Oasis favorite, Kim Tsoy who will be backed up by a band including Dionysus’ Records Lee Joseph on bass. Jason Lee  and the RIP Tides, whose debut LP will be released on Dionysus, will be playing poolside on Friday. Jason Lee will be teaching a “Twang Guitar” seminar on Saturday at 1:00 PM. Dionysus Records’ Lee Joseph will be doing a DJ set of all rockabilly, poolside, on Saturday at 2:15 PM. There will be a Dionysus Records vending booth in the Outdoor Marketplace on both Saturday and Sunday.
