POP Goes The World! is a live radio show, not a pre-recorded podcast. It is produced, broadcast, and recorded live every Friday afternoon from 3-5p.m. on WRIR Richmond Independent Radio (www.wrir.org)
Enzo is a veteran dj of over 40 years in clubs and radio. He’s played everything from hole-in-the-wall punk clubs in the early 80s, to European style techno clubs in the late 90s, and everything in between. He’s also done Top 40, Hot A.C., and Modern Rock commercial radio.
He is currently the program director at WRIR Richmond Independent Radio, and hosts POP Goes The World! every Friday afternoon from 3-5p.m.
He has made it his mission to use his acutely fine tuned pop aesthetic to save the world from mediocrity, and bring joy and happiness to all the good little boys and girls with pure hearts with power chord crunches, soaring three part harmonies, and a smattering of minor chords played on jangly guitars.
He equally enjoys talking about himself in the third person.
POP Goes The World!

Saving the world from mediocrity, and bringing joy and happiness to all the good little boys and girls with pure hearts with power chord crunches, soaring three part harmonies, and a smattering of minor chords played on jangly guitars.

Inspired by the last couple of weeks of people taking to the streets to have their voices heard, The Monday Morning Breakfast Blend would like to salute We The People! Lest you think I'm gonna get all political and what not, this show is simply of CELEBRATION of We The People as a whole. ....oh, who we kidding... "Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefor the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it." -John Adams, "Thoughts On Government", 1776

Felling a bit saucy this morning, and yes, I KNOW "saucy" is the LAST thing on your mind on a Monday morning. Indulge me and just go about your regular morning routine: make your coffee, brush your teeth, lay out your clothes etc....and I'll just sit here, by myself, in the corner being SAUCY!!! Of course,if you'd like to add a little sauciness to your morning routine,knock yourself out! Shower with the curtain open! Facebook fun!!!

My annual mother's day tribute to my late mother. Since yesterday was Mother's day and I don't get to celebrate it anymore since my mother has since passed, I've been taking The Monday Morning Breakfast Blend's the day after and paying tribute to her by playing some of her favorite songs. My mother was a very musical person, and I inherited my love of music from her. Because of her, I grew up exposed to some of the most beautiful songs in the great American song book. As a child, I would beg my mother to turn off that horrible "old people's music". Now, of course, some 35 odd years later, it's the purest music I know. So here's hoping that wherever she may be, she's dancing and singing along!

In the 6 years that WRIR has been on the air,it has established itself as the gold standard for community radio in the country. Not only are we the largest and most successful LPFM in the country,when congress and the senate was deciding whether or not they wanted to expand the Prometheus Radio Project (the bill that allows for licencing LPFM radio stations across the country),WRIR was cited as a shining example of the bills success. We certainly couldn't have done any of this without YOU and your support over the last 6 years! This radio station belongs to YOU,the people of Richmond! Please continue to show your support by donating whatever you can to keep this most worthy Richmond institution growing! Plus,I'll be playing the interview I did with Pretty & Nice last week including some songs they recorded live in our studios!

Twas an exhausting (but very enjoyable) weekend,so I'm gonna take it easy this morning and play some of my favorite acoustic/unplugged tracks. There's always been something very reassuring and satisfying to me about the beautiful,deep,rich,wooden tones of an acoustic guitar. So grab a cup of coffee,and we'll welcome this hushed beautiful morning "stripped down"!

The premise for this valentines day show is really tongue in cheek. I didn't want to do the typical songs about love, mainly because I did that last year (to great effect, I might add! It was easily one of the best shows I've ever done, in my opinion, both in diversity of content, and flow. If you never got a chance to listen to it, by all means, please do so at some time! http://wrir.org/x/modules/news/article.php?storyid=12247 Very enjoyable show and a lot of fun!) I also didn't want to do an "anti-valentines" day show with songs about love gone awry and such, mainly because even though love has indeed eluded your humble host, I remain, at heart, a romantic (part and parcel with being Italian,it comes with the territory!) So, being that my one true love has always been music, I took the inspiration of this show from a line from the great song by The Ravyns "Raised On The Radio" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRai43YkM_c "Michelle,Lady Jane,yeah I fell in love with girls I never met". I thought it would be a fun idea to declare my unabashed love for the fictitious women portrayed in songs that I've come to idealize over the years. They're the perfect girlfriends, you could say, since because they only live in song, they're always reliable, they never disappoint, and they're always there for me when there was no one else! A music nerds valentines, I'll admit, and you could even say a valentine for radio as well!

This morning I'll be summoning my one super power (my frighteningly acute and finely tuned pop aesthetic) to celebrate the fact that The Posies will be playing the 9:30 club along with Brendan Benson Wednesday night,and I'm downright GIDDY! Seriously,I'm all OMG! OMG! OMG! If you're a regular listener,you KNOW that this is the aural equivalent of a Monday Morning Breakfast Blend orgasm! So I plan on shooting my wad (figuratively) for 2 solid hours this morning!

As you can see, The Monday Morning Breakfast Blend family (with one new exception) isn't much for none of that fancy book learnin' stuff.
In fact, the only school that WE think is worth getting any kind of one of them there high falootin' fancy "degrees" in is OLD SKOOL (that's right, with a "k")!!!
So being that it's my turn, once again, to host our 80's show, "Songs From The Big Hair", this Saturday (5/29), I'm gonna take it a step back further this morning and give you a prelude, as it were, and play nothing but Old Skool 70's.
A crash course in early post modern rock n' roll!

My fourth annual tribute to my mother.
Since yesterday was Mothers Day and I don't get to celebrate it anymore since my mother has since passed, I've been taking The Monday Morning Breakfast Blends the day after mother's day and paying tribute to her by playing some of her favorite songs. My mother was a very musical person and I inherited my love of music from her. Because of her, I grew up exposed to some of the most beautiful songs in the great American songbook. I remember, as a child, I would beg my mother to turn off that horrible "old person's music". Now, of course, some 35 odd years later, it's the purest music I know. So here's hoping that wherever she may be, she's singing and dancing along.

It's May, the lusty Month of May!
That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray!
Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year, when tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear!
It's May, it's May, that gorgeous holiday, when every maiden prays that her lad will be a cad!
It's mad!
It's gay!
Alive!
A lust display!
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks!
Everyone makes divine mistakes!
The Lusty Month of May!
Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?
What sweet feelings does it's scent transmute?
Whence this perfume floating everywhere?
Don't you know, it's that dear forbidden fruit!
It's May, the lusty month of May!
That darling month when everyone throws self-control away!
It's time to do a wretched thing or two, and try to make each precious day one you'll always rue!
It's May, it's May, the month of "Yes, you may"!
The time for every frivolous whim, proper or im-!
It's wild, it's gay, depraved in every way!
The birds and bees with all of their vast amorous past, gaze at the human race aghast!
The Lusty Month of May!
It's May, it's may, the month of great dismay, when all the world is brimming with fun, wholesome or un-!
It's mad, it's gay, alive a lust display!
Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks, everyone makes divine mistakes!
The Lusty Month of May!

Despite popular perceptions,I did NOT want to learn to play guitar to get girls. Nor did I want to become a dj to be a "personality" and hopefully land a morning gig somewhere so I could banter wittily about pop culture and participate in the insidious national dialogues about Tiger Woods or who got voted off Dancing With The Stars last night. I assure you,my motives are MUCH more altruistic than that. I just wanna share my passion for music and play you some good tunes to hopefully put an extra bounce in your step on a Monday morning (because THAT'S when you need it the most!) The bottom line is I'm just a music fan who happened to be blessed (or cursed,depending on when you ask me) with a "radio ready" voice. Not a music "snob" (and I believe that's an important distinction,witness my Moldy Cheese Day shows http://wrir.org/x/modules/news/article.php?storyid=11082 for chrisakes!),a music FAN. I literally get GIDDY when I hear a great hook and I just want to play it for whoever will listen in hopes that it'll make them GIDDY as well. And what could possibly be a better calling in life than to want to make people GIDDY??!!
The girls were just an added perk AFTER the fact!
Honestly!
I swear!
