Sugar Dove

Happy birthday to Allan Clarke, and happy Easter to everyone! Tonight we checked in on some of Sugar Dove’s favorites and how they were adapting to the digital age– our first foray into the funky 1980s! I had a blast making this broadcast, even if I was a bit under the weather… (excuse my huskiness. […] […]

On an Ides of March night with some rather turbulent weather, we looked at the equally shifting years of 1974-76, breaking our usual tradition of splitting the decades into two! … And also just giving me a good excuse to play some songs that I love but couldn’t fit neatly into any of the previous […] […]

Happy daylight savings, happy midterms, and… a (hopefully) happier Sugar Dove Country Special! It was fun to take another trip back into our old traditions and my roots. There’s still so much amazing country music out there that four broadcasts can only barely cover, but I hope y’all nevertheless enjoyed the show! Thank y’all so […] […]

Tonight we had an extra special guest taking Sugar Dove to brand new places: fellow Texan artist, audio engineering student, New Yorker to-be, but most of all longtime friend Dean!! His amazing playlist spans a variety of genres from post-punk to pop to folk, all connected by their emergence from the New York counterculture and […] […]

Tonight we had our second ever Record Deep Dive, this time looking at the amazing progressive rock epic: Hope by Canada’s own Klaatu! I got a liiiiiiittle bit nerdy in this one but I don’t think there’s any other way I could’ve approached this album. It is one of my favorites of all time. Thank […] […]

Tonight Sugar Dove (after beating some technical difficulties…) finally had the long-awaited “Classic Rock” Sound special! Thank you everyone who listened and/or helped request songs for this week! As I say in the recording, classic rock is tricky to define. Everyone seems to have a different definition of what it means. But this hour of […] […]

Huzzah! Tonight we combined our usual late ’60s and early ’70s special into one broadcast with lots of fun tunes to put a spring in your step this (slowly) warming week! A special thankyouthankyouthankyou to everyone who tuned in… and can excuse me adding The Hollies to yet another setlist… I will keep doing it. […]

One, two, three… blast off! Sugar Dove launches into 2026! Tonight we gave an electric start with many all-new faces to the show. A very special thank you to everyone who tuned in (or is listening now), I can’t wait to bring you more amazing deep-cuts this year! It’s going to be a blast! Keep […] […]

Thank you and goodnight! With this broadcast, Sugar Dove officially concludes 2025… but we will be back next year to bring you more genre specials! Until then, we revisited the early ’60s alongside the late ’50s, an entire decade we had never played before. It was a great ball of fire getting to explore the […] […]

Thank y’all so much for tuning into our third genre special of the year, as well as our third foray into folk and country! We had a lot of fun exploring some of the greats and enjoying the beautiful and vivid writing that they were capable of. Stay tuned for our Record Deep Dive happening […] […]

Huzzah! Another successful genre special down! Tonight we followed up with pop as it entered into one of my favorite eras of music: the early ’70s. I might have a bias for pop… but that’s okay… In the meantime, we got a lot of new listeners, and I want to give a special thank you […] […]

Our first genre special of the year, and what a groovy thing we had goin’! I had just gotten back from a big birthday party at my aunt’s, so I ended up making a few fumbles here and there. But as always I loved exploring the late 1960s with y’all again and can’t wait to […] […]

Our second ever broadcast of the new Sugar Dove year, and the final disco broadcast before our genre specials! Thankyouthankyouthankyou to everyone who tuned in and made this another successful night! Make sure to tune in to our Instagram as well for the announcement of this semester’s theme schedule! By the way, if you heard […] […]

We are back in business, baby! Thankyouthankyouthankyou to everyone who tuned in for the grand reopening of the Sugar Dove Disco! I tried to find some extra special tracks for you all, and although we had a few fumbles here and there (I also hope y’all can excuse the slight buzz on the recording!), we […] […]

Hello Sugar Dove Fans! We hope that you’ve been having a groovy summer. Recently I’ve been hard at work restoring episodes 1-4 (Steppin’ Out, Going Public, Having Flown, and Goin’ Coconuts), which due to many beginner mistakes, were unsalvageable in their original form. I also fixed the stereo mixing issues that were present in episode […] […]

Tonight we had a bittersweet broadcast… It’s none other than the 19th and very last hour of Sugar Dove for the school year! We will be coming back strong next year, but in the meantime, we played a bunch of mostly all-new feel-good disco deep cuts to send you into finals week! And thank you […] […]

Are you ready for that good old rock n’ roll? Tonight on Sugar Dove we had a very different kind of broadcast- rockier, rougher, and wilder than ever before! Featuring a mix of iconic legends like Led Zeppelin, Rush, and Heart to a few lesser known groups. Special thanks to everyone who helped me find […] […]

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates, and thank you cool cats for tuning in! Tonight we got to take a nostalgic trip back to the swingin’ early ’60s- car tunes, rock n’ roll, drive-in movies and the like. Lots of big names and small songs. In fact, it was also our largest collection of songs […] […]

Gah! The late ’60s are cursed!! We had yet another audio problem in the form of me forgetting to turn the mic on… so what you’ll hear for my speaking bits are rerecorded with an admittedly less better mic. Sorry for the drag, babe. I think it was a very successful broadcast otherwise, not least […] […]

Special thanks to all of the studs who tuned into disco’s triumphant return, marked by some extra boogie dance tunes! Featuring many songs that I held off on playing in the past because… they’re very disco. But there wasn’t a better week to lean into it than this one, babe. We’ll post our next genre […] […]

Thank you everyone who joined our ’70s folk and country special! It was so much fun getting to embrace my roots tonight with many country songs that get me right in the heart… Hopefully you enjoyed them as much as I did! Fun fact: I had planned to play Jambalaya (On The Bayou) long before […] […]

Thank you everyone who tuned into our second ever genre special on Sugar Dove! This time we played some sunshine songs from the early ‘70s featuring many of my favorite songs ever and much better audio. Although this one was a little shorter, it might’ve been one of my favorites, so keep an eye out […] […]

Happy late Valentine’s day, babe! And a very special thankyouthankyouthankyou to all the new people who tuned in! We’re so happy to have you and hope that you stick around for our weekly genre specials, when we implement them, that is… Until then, may tomorrow be a perfect day! Typed out setlist: Opening Theme: May […] […]

Another week, another hour of funky tunes, and another bad fake accent from yours truly… Thank you everyone for another fantastic broadcast! And a special thankyouthankyouthankyou once again to my dad, who you should all wish a happy birthday. This show wouldn’t be possible without him! (And I meant I’ll see y’all SPRING break, not […] […]

Thank you to all the studs who joined in on our second broadcast of the new semester! Unfortunately my mic may have been a little quiet tonight… but we’ll make sure it’s fixed next time! (And please, if possible, skip my dialogue after “Fever”. My Wayne Osmond impression was a LOT better in my head.) […] […]

Thankyouthankyouthankyou to everyone who tuned in to our first broadcast of 2025! Sugar Dove Disco is officially after dark and will continue to go live every Sunday at 7pm. I’m super excited to continue sharing the disco with you, babe! But I am still getting back into the groove some… (I forgot the name of […] […]

No, the Sugar Dove Disco isn’t safe from the Christmas music either, babe! But today we had a nice relaxing pinch of the Holiday cheer to wrap up a semester of great classic tunes. We played four-five songs each from four Christmas albums we love: A Partridge Family Christmas Card, Carpenters’ Christmas Portrait, the Osmond […] […]
