Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE OLD 97'S!

What a great song to start a Music Series this one is, 'Timebomb' starting the fun tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE ROMANTICS!

Though Johnny is a Browns fan here's a little Detroit rock and roll in honor of the Lions and their game Sunday.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS!

Always nice sometime in mid-January to hear this one. Johnny got to sit next to Michelle Phillips at an event in NYC one evening. You'll be happy to know Johnny kept to himself and didn't start up with a Chris Farley routine.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JOY DIVISION!

Here's one of those, "Now I haven't heard that song in eons" tracks Johnny thinks is a smart match to lead us off tonight. Joy Division with, 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ROMEO VOID!

Johnny has always loved this band's name. A handful of great tracks as well. Oh look, here's one now, 'Never Say Never'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE MOODY BLUES!

It's really probably best Johnny wasn't a singer in a rock and roll band. Or any other kind of singer.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with MUDDY WATERS!

Johnny figured it might be best if we had our first Music Series 'While The Electricity Is Still On' night. 'Tis an ill wind that blows tonight. 

To Johnny's point, let's get this thing done while the lights are on. 'Got My Mojo Workin'' leading us out into the blizzard this afternoon.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE BEASTIE BOYS!

Go on, you know the words...

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE DRAMATICS!

Sounding so good on that classic Stax Records label taking us out this afternoon is 'Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get'

Here's hoping Ann Arbor doesn't repeat 1989 tonight.

The Oscoda City Desk Action Weather Team has an important winter weather update!

Winter has indeed found us friends. This week brings two snow events to our fair township. First, tomorrow (Tuesday) morning early the snow will start and depending on the drift of this one, could bring anywhere from 2-8' across the northern tier of the lower peninsula. Oscoda and along the lake is looking like a 2-4" currently, more south and northwest.

Now for the real fun, Friday.

It looks like it begins mid-morning Friday and goes through Saturday afternoon. Maybe this is why nobody is RSVPing to Johnny's Saturday afternoon Browns playoff buffet. So, there you have it, hippity hoppity winter's on the way. See you at the quickly emptying grocery store!

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with MARVIN GAYE!

The forecast calls for smooth. 'Got to Give it Up (Part 1)' leading off tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with GORILLAZ!

When you can add half The Clash on your live version of a song, yeah, you should do that. Gorillaz, and Mick Jones and Paul Simonon from The Clash on this gem, 'Glitter Freeze'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA!

Johny would have to do some research but he'll go out on a limb and say this last track this week, 'Do Ya' is the shortest title used in Music Series history. 

He'll get back to you on this...
