DON “GLAMPA” BOLLES
Join us FOR A special night of music and a very particular
Los Angeles EXPERIENCE.
THE LAB MAG: How do we find you for those who can’t come to the LP Vinyl Bar on Friday night?
DON “GLAMPA” BOLLES: Here are links to my two weekly radio shows on WFMU. org, on their “Sheena’s Jungle Room” Stream (there are 4 different streams), and that’s the one that both of my shows are on, so you have to make sure that you choose that one, cuz I have no idea what’s on any of the other streams, and don’t want anyone to be sad with the content of whatever incorrect stream they pick, and definitely don’t want people thinking I was playing whatever boring thing was on the bogus stream.
The top one is the page for this Saturday’s WIRED UP! Show (12pm PST - 3pm EST). That show is 2 hours of wall-to-wall Junkshop Glam and Bubblegum 45s, with a sprinkling of Power Pop, Ye Ye, Freak Beat, etc. That’s mostly what I tend to play at live DJ gigs, although my sets are fairly unpredictable, even to me.

This link is to the Archive page for my other show, The Fantastic World of Kitten Sparkles, which is usually much more abstract.
One comment on a pic of me that somebody posted on Instagram said it best: “Dude - have you heard his bat shit crazy radio show?”
I do it all live, mixing 20th Century Avant Garde records, SFX lps, field recordings, bedroom cassettes, and mini-discs of shortwave radio static - sometimes playing up to 6 things at once - to make what we call “Glambience” (like “ambience” but not so boring.). 2pm PST, 5pm EST.
