3D RadioActivity

Uncle Marty and The Seanimal host The Award Winning 3D RadioActivity. We have over 100 feet of vinyl in the collection, and well over 100,000 song files on the hard drive. Each week, a different topic is chosen, sometimes seasonal, and songs are played that cover the idea. We present you with interesting bits of information about each song or the artist, adding the extra dimension for your list…ening enjoyment. All forms of music, from Acoustic to Zydeco. Just about anything between 20 Hz and 20 kHz.

3D Valentine Infidelities

By Marty Masters on February 15, 2015

So here we are at Valentine’s Day, the most popular day for love for several reasons. Hallmark and other card companies make a lot of money. If anyone from Hallmark is listening, we do take donations. Candy manufacturers like Hershey’s and Brachs feed the sweet tooth of many people out there. Are there any representatives from either of those organizations or any others tuned in? I do have members of the audience who wouldn’t turn down those products if I was to share them. Jewelry, high end clothing, expensive champagne with fresh fruit in it, and exotic flowers are all in high demand. On this episode of The 3D RadioActivity, we’re featuring music for the other side of the coin, because this day is about the most popular for breaking up relationships too.

Thanks and Valentine’s love to all who checked in with your great ideas! It’s always fun to put together our shows for and with your help, we may try to squeeze in some Uncle Marty Gras music as we have two great holidays adjacent to each other. It’s difficult to predict what will happen, you know it will be thought provoking. Got any suggestions? Email me or leave a “Like ” and a message on our Facebook , page. We had over 1500 visits last week, I hope you were one, and that you will tell your friends about us.

3D Fashioned Music

By Marty Masters on February 14, 2015

For program #268 of The 3D RadioActivity, the key is fashion. We’re not going to have a duck come down if you hear the secret word like Groucho Marx did on You Bet Your Life, however it will be present in every tune that we track. Be ready as we are going to get subtle with hidden references in the lyrics, so get your sonic magnifying glass out so you don’t miss these great ones. Fashion can be a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses. Or it can mean to make into a particular or the required form. Other synonyms include: construct, build, manufacture, fabricate, or contrive as we tailor it to your tastes, 3D style which could range from the young all the way to old fashioned.

I have the graphics for every show, along with links to all of the podcasts.

Thanks for making us part of the plan, and Rock On!

Looking through the 3D Closet

By Marty Masters on February 3, 2015

I’m Uncle Marty, and on this episode we are starting the seventh year of The 3D RadioActivity.by playing songs about what Sean and I like in your wardrobe. He has been known to steal socks a long time ago, so we will clean out the closet to see what else we can find because ours is full of vinyl… I’ve got around a hundred feet of it ~ all to play just for you. You will find parts of these two oldies on the shelf above, the hangars in front of you and on the floor below.

So what kind of fashion haven’t we covered recently? Shoes? Check. Dress? Copy that. Rings and hats? Did those too. We covered all of them and more this time, so the only music left will truly be focused on the Dedicated Followers of Fashion. I’ve got a pretty good playlist, however if you have one I don’t then I want to hear about it. Email me or leave a “Like ” and a message on our Facebook , page. We had over 1500 visits last week, I hope you were one, and that you will tell your friends about us.

3D Radioactive Hats

By Marty Masters on January 28, 2015

A hat is a head covering. It can be worn for protection against the elements, for ceremonial reason, religious functions, for safety, or as a fashion accessory. In the past, they were an indicator of social status. In the military, they may denote nationality, branch of service, rank and/or regiment, while some have a protective function. As examples, the hard hat protects construction workers’ heads from injury by falling objects, a straw one shades the face and shoulders from the sun, and a fur model with fold-down ear-flaps keeps the head warm. Some are worn for ceremonial purposes, such as the mortarboard, which is donned during graduation ceremonies. Others are used by members of a certain profession, such as a chefs’ Toque. So the hat, once a universal symbol of propriety, no longer makes the man, It still makes the woman, though mainly at weddings and horseraces. From a fez to beret, a pill-box hat to a baseball cap, these tunes span time, style and culture. Whether it has a brim, propeller, or chinstrap, you can hear what’s on our mind here on The 3D RadioActivity.
