Scott Brookman In Conversation Show Now on Our PodOMatic Podcast Page. Listen and/or Download!

When in the air, Scott Brookman flies in his Smellicopter!

Virginia popster Scott Brookman has been in the thick of it–“it” being the making-cool-music biz–since the mid-1980’s. He penned songs for the Virginia band Apes of Wrath. He discovered the wonders of the four-track Portastudio and began making cool home demos. He made his way within the confines of the home tapers movement and started sharing his music with a whole lot of listeners. Fast forward to today and you have Scott’s latest collection of quirky, melodic pop songs, the wonderfully-named Smellicopter.

Scott appeared on the April 30 edition of Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation to talk about Smellicopter, his love of pop songs sung by the great female singers, and a whole lot more. He even recorded an exclusive-to-Pure Pop Radio session consisting of an unreleased song, “If You Buy My Album” and a song from Smellicopter, “Very Anne.” Very cool.

You can now listen to and/or download this very wonderful show by clicking on this link, which will take you directly to the interview and the exclusive Spotify and YouTube direct links playlist so you can listen to the songs played along with Scott.

Scott Brookman Plays the Hits and More Tonight on Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation

When in the air, Scott Brookman flies in his Smellicopter!

Are you ready for some football?! Well, we can’t help you there, but if you’re ready for some great pop music fueled by great melodies and imagination, performed with gusto by one of the premier practitioners on today’s pop scene, yeah, we can help you with that.

Virginia’s own Scott Brookman, whose latest album is the creatively titled, aery Smellicopter, joins Alan Haber on tonight’s spirited edition of Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation. Settle in at 8 pm ET for 90 minutes of cool chat about some of Scott’s favorite songs sung by female singers and, oh yeah, Smellicopter. You’ll hear two songs from the album–“Inspected by Curly” (think of those itty-bitty, tiny slips of paper you find in new shirt and pants pockets) and “Weirdos” (think–aw, never mind…everybody knows one or two!).

Not only will you hear two songs from Smellicopter, you’ll also hear a live, keyboard-driven take on “Very Anne,” also from the album, and a song that was cut and has never been heard…until now, and it’s performed live. Yes, these two performances are a collective Pure Pop Radio exclusive!

It’s all about female singers, Carole King chords, the influence of jazz on Scott’s songwriting and much, much more, tonight on Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation. Set your Internet radio devices for 8 pm ET tonight. We love Scott around here, and we know you will too.

Scott Brookman Rocks the House, Pop Style, on Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation This Wednesday Night

When in the air, Scott Brookman flies in his Smellicopter!

I’ve been knowing the melodic pop artist they call Scott Brookman for some time now. His recordings are cherished in the pop community, and rightly so–the man has a keen sense of melody that he injects into every song he writes and records. Scott’s latest release, the long-awaited Smellicopter, is typical Brookman, which means that it’s a must-have for your collection.

We were able to snag Scott for a live appearance on the old, weekly Pure Pop Radio show, for which the master melody man pedaled steadily from his home to our studios in Fairfax, Virgina. His trusty acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder, he performed live for a waiting audience and talked about all things musical. That appearance remains one of the great memories of our nearly 20 years in pop music radio.

And now we’ve got Scott again, this time in front of the Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation microphones talking about Smellicopter, the art of writing a melodic masterpiece, and so much more, including a session he recorded exclusively for Pure Pop Radio. You’ll hear all of this on Wednesday night, April 30, at 8 pm ET.

As we’ve said so many times before, set your alarm clocks and be in front of your Internet audio device for an in-depth chat with the one and only Scott Brookman. Come on, come on, ride the Smellicopter with us!

In Conversation is Taking a Weeklong Siesta, But Just Wait ‘Til Next Week!

When in the air, Scott Brookman flies in his Smellicopter!

Our hardworking, nose-to-the-grindstone staff–our dedicated Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation writers, engineers and general do-this, do-that folks–are checked in at some high-end hotel this week–one of the ones that have those fluffy, white bathrobes you can buy for a whole lot of coin. They’re taking a break for whatever reason, meaning that there will not be one of those wonderful, new-to-you shows this week.

But next week, and here’s your aha moment for the day: Next week, we’ll be bringing you a lively, no-holds-barred session with the one and only Scott Brookman. It’s a good one, you betcha.

So have a great week–have a siesta and a cocktail on us–and be here next Wednesday and Thursday for another classic back-and-forth on Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation! Until then!
