Radio Free California episode 2331, my new single, cheap shots and radio station notes



New music this week from Dogstar, The 413s, Miami Conspiracy with Priscilla Sunshine, Copperstone, The Scurbats, Georgia, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Omega Theory, Dexys Midnight Runners (!) and much more. Enjoy!

As always, these songs have been added to the playlist at Radio Free California, the Internet Radio Station (embedded below and available at the app store). For those of you who don't like Spotify you can tune in this week at 2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm and 6pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) this Wednessday August 2nd to hear the playist in full.

On Thursday of this week we will play the album "Euphoric" by Georgia. That will be on August 3 at 9am and again at 9pm PST. This is her third studio album and it's a solid dance/pop record.

On August 6 at 10am and again at 10pm PST will be of course our new show 10 at 10, featuring 10 great songs from 1 great year. We're really digging into the vault for this one, so please tune in!

Cheap shots:

I know I'm not being kind here (and come on - this section is called Cheap Shots) but I seriously can't imagine that this is the only unpleasant thing in their marriage.

Someone needs to take a look at Article III, Section 2 of the document they're sworn to uphold and defend.

Maybe, just maybe, you should consider supporting someone who doesn't do so much crime.

Fuck Musk.

Me too. Let's get this fucker moving already.

Tried in a (not so) small town.

"The canaries died a long time ago."

It's called blackmail and he's still doing it. It's what he got impeached for the first time

He was a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

I hope that when I vote for him in 2024 that the line on the ballot actually reads "Dark Brandon."

I did not have to look up "escutcheon" but I confess I did have to look up "movant".

Yeah, I read this as a giant fuck you to the Senator from Alabama.

Sometimes we're reminded that this really isn't a Barbie World.

Being anti-abortion is not "pro-life". Anyone who says it is is a lying motherfucker. CNN brings the receipts.

Tried in a(n actual) small town.

Rules changes that include two groups getting into a fist fight over something they agree on.

Well if this ain't a metaphor for it all I don't know what else would be.

And because I love you, here is the link to my new video/single (if it's fair to call an 11 minute song a single). This is the first of two versions we're releasing. Of course, the song will be on next week's list/show.

On July 30 at 10am and again at 10pm PST I plan to try another 10 at 10.


Cheap Shots:

"Stop saying I'm violent, or I'll send people to murder your family."

I haven't seen the movie yet, but it seems to me that they're pissed that they can't play with dolls.

There is only one X and this isn't it.

This is:



Wanna strike? I think we're about due.

What could possibly go wrong?

Because she couldn't say "Shut the fuck up already."

I should point out that a rebooted robot is still a robot.


Nice to know that even though on strike she has another trade to fall back on.

Usually they use the other "I" word.

Terrorism, but then again, it's Texas.

It ain't just "woke" that's dying in Florida.

"If I cut that, I don’t know why I’m making this movie."

Until it happens here Americans aren't going to care enough to change things. Wait a month.

Now I get to say to Republicans "Why don't you just move to Russia then?"


I'm pretty sure that this isn't how you part the Red Sea.

And Because I love you, you really need to see the video by Tard Act for "The Trench Coat Museum":

Cheap Shots


Nothing good can be nicknamed "Snag and Drown".

Somebody shouldn't be playing with dolls. Or are they action figures? Either way, I have so many ditsurbing observations to make that I have Option Paralysis.

Sucking up, are we?

Oh, Rudy. Again with a story that leads to so many jokes that I have Option Paralysis.

I'm not sure that anyone on either side did anything wrong here. But it's fucked up just the same.

Florida migrates further into the nation of Hatey. But don't worry, they're stoned.

"Please Clap." heh heh.

So the current leader of SAG is an anti-vaxxer. Someone more qualified than me addresses how she can still be credible in leading SAG during their strike, which has legitimate concerns.

Butthead (or is it Beavis?) has thoughts. Okay, maybe that's not a plural statement.


With Caution. My own Doctor has told me about a new variant that the vaccines don't yet cover, although it's in the works.

No idea at all what to make of this.

I know that a third terms is a bad idea, but sometimes, when it comes to Barack Obama, I have hope.

Would RFK Jr. shake hands with Joe Lieberman? If we put him in the same trash heap as Joe will he insist we sort the garbage?

Here are some sobering figures behind the SAG-AFTRA strike. Most actors, like most musicians (including me), don't earn enough to be considered "employed". 

And because I love you, here's my new single, "WOKE AF minus F", which will be on next week's show:

No cheap shots today. I was busy.

And becuase I love you, here is the video for "I Don't Believe In Love" by Yi. It's AI generated and for the first time I think it's been done right here.

Cheap Shots (not much, it's gonna be a slow news day):

Anyone else would already be in jail.

Seems to me that this woman should also go to jail.

Seems to me that if you don't believe in Climate Change you might be suffering from heatstroke.

Any thoughts on how the Supremes will rule on this?


What is it about Republicans and oiled-up muscle men

Do you suppose that Jack Smith is a fan of Henry VI, Part II?


These are the days where it seems that Arnold Schwartzenegger was a better Kennedy than this man.

The White Guy speaks, and gets every word wrong.



Speaking of Florida, on July 17th my band will be releasing a new single called "WOKE AF minus F", where we kick Florida in the balls. Stay tuned!

And because I love you, let's talk about folding in the cheese:
