Thrifting for Tunes moves to a much more suitable hour for cocktails! NEW DAY AND TIME! Sundays at 6 p.m. PST / 9 p.m. EST on LuxuriaMusic.com And to celebrate the move, I've put together something special with fellow LuxuriaMusic personality, Tothar, host of the Beyondophonic Action Hour: The Akron-Montreal Crossover Shows! Proving that DJs know no borders, on Sunday, December 7th, LuxuriaMusic's Thrifting for Tunes and The Beyondophonic Action Hour come together for a two-hour affirmation of civic pride! The municipal flag waving begins at 6 pm pacific/9 pm eastern, as Tothar drops in to host a segment of Thrifting for Tunes (on its new day and time!)... Metropolitan melodies, local lunacy... and two guys expounding on the virtues of their respective hometowns! The Thrifting for Tunes-Beyondophonic Action Hour Akron-Montreal Crossover Shows... Sunday, December 7th, 6-8 pm pacific / 9-11 pm eastern Plenty more coming up in December as Thrifting for Tunes settles into its new timeslot... Can't make the new timeslot? No problem!!!

Last Christmas I recieved a copy of an old Tiki album from my son who found it in a thrift store here in North California. I thought it was cool at the time. I kept looking at it though. I seemed really familiar. I looked through the Book of Tiki,(all bow heads), and found the same album on Pg45. It still has the Burlap swatch. Cool eh? What a great Christmas gift. What a great son. |

SPECIAL DAY AND TIME! "A Thrifting for Tunes Special" Amidst the hype and hoopla surrounding the arrival of the remastered Beatles catalog, feisty independent radio station Luxuria Music (www.luxuriamusic.com) has set Oct. 9, 2009 for its annual Beatles Day marathon—during which no Beatles recordings will be played. Instead, Luxuria’s DJs will celebrate the Beatles by exclusively spinning cover versions of Beatles songs, Beatles novelty and tribute recordings, and all manner of Beatles-related audio. And don't worry, spinning around among all the weird Beatles covers will be a little bit of Beatles exotica on Thrifting for Tunes...

John, the Luxuria website was down for a while. I was unable to get the Luxuria podcast of your show while it was down. It is back now. However, the podcast link I had no longer works. The link on your website doesn't work either. Please post a link that we can all use, if you would. Love the show and have been missing it. |
