Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Meli & the folks at AstroNet Radio! Enjoy this Dark Ambience Celtic music and check out Unwind Station on YouTube!

Meli is truly back again, and working on some great new shows, but there’s still one show that was never published. We want to rectify that by sharing a really great group, TriHeart Music! This was an incredibly fun interview and we are pleased to finally share it with you! TriHeart is an awesome chiptune band from Boston. They combine violin, vocals, and Game Boy midi notes to create a unique blend of punk, electronic, and classical music. Like other chiptune artists, their sound is entirely their own, and something worth listening to. They are a part of a rich and diverse musical subgenre, and support other artists as well. Follow them online!

Meli is back just in time to stuff your musical stocking with some old-fashioned favorites and timeless classics ( and by “timeless”, we mean “long before you were born”).  Now that we’ve overcome some technical difficulties, expect to hear new shows regularly again.  May 2021 bring us all some much-needed relaxation and a lot more fun!

While Meli is off saving the universe, George gives us an hour of uninterrupted early David Bowie.

Melia still has her hands full of so many things, So Georgie boy takes over once again and brings you one full hour (and then some) of the band that was influenced by many and influenced even more…Supertramp!
