"...this is the day your life will surely change.."
well, if not changed, then seriously altered. 😛
good morning, hello, and what's happening?
this morning's post is brought to you by the fine fellas at Goober!
nothing starts your day off like a condiment that is shot out of a tube into a jar, followed by another condiment to enhance the first one, also shot into a jar.
weird way to start a post, i know.. BUT it just goes to show that two great tastes that go great together is a good analogy for some of today's special guests on the finale of "The Sessions w/ me" (aka "The Sessions w/ DJ D-Phoenix")!
we're just about 90 minutes away from start time! you can tune in and watch this love parade today at 12 noon Pacific time ONLY on our Groove Zone Music page here on Facebook!
just go to www.facebook.com/olygroovezone to watch the flower petals falling and the animated bluebirds singing their little animated hearts out! you'll also catch some totally rad rockstars if you're lucky!
"... he's lucky, she's lucky, we're all lucky!"
luck has nothing to do with it... just be a smart charlie and find your way there by noon today!
special guest appearances by MOUNTAIN HEAD, SOLDIERS OF MONOCHROME, and ANTHONY KACZYNSKI!
finally, in the words of the immortal Stuart Goddard:
"...don't be square, be there!"
we'll see ya soon!

"Shooting stars never stop, even when they reach the top" would make a good slogan for rising singer/songwriter CALEB TWIDWELL.
Twidwell put some time aside to catch up with his friend, our resident DJ D-Phoenix, at his place in Parkland, Washington.
Twidwell conducted his first actual interview for the network.
"Summer Of '69" was a top hit in 1985 for Canadian rocker Bryan Adams, and Twidwell gives an awesome "unplugged" performance of the song for our audience.
You can follow Caleb Twidwell on YouTube, and hear other songs that he's written and performed.

Well, it's official, and this is the official announcement!

The crew of The Groove Zone (Olympia WA) are anxious but sad to announce that the 33 year-long project is coming to a close!
Since it was created in the last days of 1989, The Groove Zone has existed in one form or another up until now.
33 years of events, nightclub dates, special productions and presentations, concerts, and finally becoming a viable online presence in the past few years, all comes to an end as of August 2022.
Every dream that could have been dreamed has come true. A bucket list of wishes to meet and talk with recording artists has been filled to overflowing. From merely being a part of local underground radio (Free Radio Olympia 91.9 FM) to running our own radio station (Neo RetroFM (Oly WA)), we have had a very successful and full run as a presence in the long-running Olympia music scene for over three decades!
The times have changed, and the world has too. We are leaving a permanent mark, not only in the history of the Olympia music scene, but in cyberspace as well. Long after the dust settles in places it hasn't yet landed, our friends, fans, followers and newcomers will be able to see/hear/experience what The Groove Zone has been all about, and what we've accomplished in the years that have come and gone.
There are vague but tentative plans for random specials in the future, but no dates or details are currently available.
In the coming two months, you can expect to see the remainder of our past shows being available for your entertainment online.
The two cornerstone shows we've offered continuously are "The Sessions w/ DJ D-Phoenix" and "Hook, Line & Thinker: A Podcast".
The Sessions most likely will become a special quarterly edition, airing just 4 times a year on our various sites.
Hook, Line & Thinker, the podcast created by Australian recording artist DUB FX and our resident DJ D-Phoenix is in the final stages of production, and will be wrapping the show this coming week.
The panelists are all committing themselves to their final appearances on the show, and we are taping the last of our segments this coming week.
As a special treat for our audience, the final airings of HLT will be announced in the next week. To bring the podcast to a close, our HLT finale will feature MOUNTAIN HEAD's Ben & Kyle Hannah of Toronto, Ontario, Canada; also on the last episode, fans will get a chance to say goodbye to the show's great regular and semi-regular panelists, including Cousin Robin, Doug Next Door, "Oz" (former paranormal investigator), SFC Diggler, Sponge aka Chocolate Thunder, Seattle's DJ Duckie, and the rest of the gang!
So, we want to thank each of our friends, fans, and followers for your continued support through the years!
Don't forget to "like", "subscribe" and "share" us online!
You can find us on YouTube, Mixcloud, Spotify, and here on Facebook. We also have two official websites: one that focuses on our radio project Neo RetroFM (Oly WA) @ darfox07.wixsite.com/neoretrofm and the other is our main Groove Zone site @ olygz7.wixsite.com/olygrooveone
So check them out if you haven't already, and "share" them with your friends and family here on Facebook and the rest of the sites you are on!
More details and appreciation acknowledgements are still to come, so stay tuned!

There's an old expression about the sultry, humid months in the Summer being known as the "dog days of summer", because Sirius (the dog star) would rise with the sun during those times.
Flash-forward a couple of thousand years, and The Groove Zone (Oly WA) podcast "Hook, Line & Thinker" gives it a new, more mysterious meaning.
Referring to the cryptid known as the "Dog-Man", the topic of this strange creature spotted and encountered increasingly throughout North America in recent years is the underlying theme.
On this segment, DJ Hiveswitch reviews UFO footage; "The Wizard" and "Oz" talk about the 1969 Altamont concert festival murder; the "Faces Of Death" movie series is discussed; current and future diseases; "harlequin ichthyosis", a rare disease.
Special Guest Mike Score (A Flock Of Seagulls) shares his first experience with unidentified flying objects aka unidentified aerial phenomenon.

Featured panelists include King James, Cousin Robin, Doug Next Door, Trunk Monkey, and Sponge/Chocolate Thunder.

Joining the growing number of recording artists who have made more than just an initial visit to the programs, this episode marks David's second appearance with us.
"Do you believe in Heaven above, do you believe in love..." is the beginning phrase that starts this 80s New Wave classic track, known to millions of fans around the world. Real Life's "Send Me An Angel" is one of the most instantly-recognizable and beloved songs from the decadent "me" decade.
Joining the resident DJ and Real Life's Sterry this time is a Neo RetroFM (Oly WA) DJ from season one, DJ Duckie (Seattle, WA).
