Sweet mother of Carl Perkins. What a score we have for you this week at Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST.  Although you’ll surely miss the sublime silliness of Belinda as she Clangs her heart out this weekend, be prepared… Read more ›

I love it when other people sit in for me at Bubbles in the Think Tank. No, not because it means I get a week off (well, two in this case), but because I get to hear their own brand… Read more ›

Two weeks?  Haven’t we heard this before?  And recently even? Alas, it is true.  Two weeks without Belinda on Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST.  Sometimes duties calls.  Sometimes two weeks in a row. But fret not, fine friends of… Read more ›

Continuing on the path to proving my own dorkiness to myself, I submit the most excited moment of radio I’ve had in some time.  Yes, you’ll wait until the very end of the program for it, but I hope I… Read more ›

It seems a little like a kitchen sink show in retrospect.  Something from the first Gulf War (maybe not a Bubbles in the Think Tank favorite, but definitely a classic), a rare Jodi Foster appearance (rare on air, not in… Read more ›

Photo by OutlandArmourYes, I’m still using the Magnetic Headlines format templates supplied to us by Morgan.  It’s like playing Mad Libs by myself! Due to some growing pains following the spectacular upgrade of the WMFO studios, it took a little… Read more ›

Don’t worry, the archive from Saturday is on it’s way.  I just thought I’d tell a little story while the mp3 is exporting… Yesterday at work, a fan of the show sent me an email to let me know that… Read more ›

This week marks the return of Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST to the airwaves of WMFO 91.5FM in Boston and to the archives of this here webthing.  We’ll return from our brief hiatus this Saturday night at 11pm eastern. … Read more ›

This show is so pre-9/11. Really.  The date of the show is August 27, 2001.  All in all, a pretty good show.  The first half (joined in progress) is a rollicking leftover and request show.  Belinda has just made her… Read more ›

It’s another RadioGram from 2008 for your listening enjoyment.  You’ll enjoy the likes of the Duplex Planet, an unusual lesion, and a history of jazz from one of the creators of the Mad Lib. What more could you ask for? … Read more ›

As promised, during this 2 week hiatus of Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST, we’re taking a trip down memory lane into the chest of drawers known as the cassette archive of my Think Tank life. A random pull of… Read more ›

Sadly, a headline like that isn’t even referencing Sonic Trout.  A wasted shame really. Media masters galore pepper this week’s installment of Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST.  From the instrumental tribute to The Avengers to the RadiObituary remembrances of… Read more ›

Thanks to Morgan for the new headline-writing formulas! Otherwise, I just can’t help myself…

Looking back at the playlist from last night’s episode of Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST, I sense an uneasy lament.  Newspapers closing, friends aging, constant impatience and consternation about what awaits.  And I’m not even thinking about the numerous… Read more ›

She loves this song!

A respect for sea life. A dose of death. And a confusing ode to a svelte cockroach. Only at Bubbles in the Think Tank. This week’s deceased: Snooks Eaglin, Kelly Groucutt, Louie Bellson, and Chuck Bennett. http://bubblesinthethinktank.com/east/02212009.mp3Podcast: Play in new… Read more ›

Bubbles in the Think Tank oft relies on themes. Other times, random thoughts manifest themselves to be clearly related. Not always apparent to even my naked eye, it can be surprising what is eventually seen. As the Bonzo Dog Doo… Read more ›

Our RadiObituary segment had a full agenda this week with the passing of Lux Interior of The Cramps, Dewey Martin of Buffalo Springfield, and the character actor James Whitfield.  All that on top of more silliness including the Pee-Wee’s Playhouse… Read more ›

I spent Wednesday evenings during the first three months of 2008 sitting in for Radiogram – a predominantly spoken word show.  I may have taken it in a bit of different direction than its usual host, but people seemed to… Read more ›

No, no…the other one. Much love to Mike, as usual, from the Classic Rock Mine for his In Bed With the Beatles edition this week.  He played two hours of the greatest classic rock Beatles covers you’ve never heard.  I… Read more ›

Thanks to the Valet for making me think about this.

Shows without a theme are a bitch to comment on unless something else happens.  In this new caller-free regime, nothing else happens if I don’t make it happen.  Or is that just the story of life? Oh, I do find… Read more ›

You begged.  You pleaded.  You started a hard thinking campaign. Now you’ve got what you wanted. Starting tomorrow, January 24th, Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST will extend to 2 hours!  That’s right, Belinda will be there to fulfill your… Read more ›
