Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BERLIN!

If you kids want to see and hear a pretty darned good band Berlin will be performing at Pine Knob August 4. Chances are high you'll hear this classic, 'The Metro'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with GREEN DAY!

Every so often Johnny likes to dust this one off for a refreshing listen and to be thankful he's not the one Green Day is singing about on 'American Idiot'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with STEELY DAN!

For Johnny's money, their best song off their best album, both named 'Aja'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SMOKEY ROBINSON & THE MIRACLES!

So, does anyone want to take a shot at what northeast Michigan's go-to Go-Go might be? Leave suggestions in comments.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with GUSTER!

On a beautiful summer night like this one Johnny harkens back to another gorgeous summer night in Central Park when he and Mrs. Johnny saw Guster. A fantastic show by an underrated band. 'Satellite' up next tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PETER GABRIEL!

If Johnny had a catchphrase it'd sound a lot like, 

"And my heaven will be a big heaven

And I will walk through the front door"

'Big Time taking us out tonight.

So good to be back at it here at the Oscoda City Desk.

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD!

As many of you know Johnny is a big fan of reaction videos on YouTube. People who haven't seen certain shows, movies or entire genres of music they are trying on for the first time. This song, 'Relax' is a great song to watch reactions to. Reactors get into the song and groove to the song and then there is THAT moment of clarity when they give a strange look towards and camera and say, "Wait, WTF did he just say?"

So fun.

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with 10,000 MANIACS!

Help Johnny out and describe Natalie Merchant's stage moves in one word. Come on, you've got this. 'Don't Talk' up next...

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SAM THE SHAM & THE PHARAOHS!

Has not knowing the words ever stopped anyone from singing this song, 'Wolly Bully'? Of course not, and it shouldn't now.

Johnny did have something come up last night so it'll be a Sunday night Music Series

With apologies, Johnny did have something come up (completely unrelated to his surgery) with a friend he wanted to help with. Come on back late tonight for some proper music!

Late night open thread

You all have no idea how happy Johnny is to be back at home in Oscoda after a double bypass surgery May 16 at Providence Hospital down in Southfield. Johnny will have a hopefully informative and funny look at the entire process here so look for that. As for a Friday Night Music Series, that'll have to be a Saturday thing this week. C'mon back tomorrow for some hot tunes!
