Radio Free California Episode 2213, and a few cheap shots

 

A wild and eclectic week for new music, from Bootsy Collins, Gary Haywood, Crown Lands, Animal Soul, Arcade Fire, Weezer, Machine Gun Kelly, Loop, Time to Act, Ibibio Sound Machine and much more. Enjoy!

I've also included my favorite Foo Fighter's song towards the end (as well as what they did on their "secret" album from the horror movie they just released) in honor of the Late Taylor Hawkins. Man, it's weird to say that.

This is a big week for new music so there's lots here. All artists are listed by their twitter handle unless otherwise noted:

Cheap Shots (MOnday is Rum Day):

Kasboom.

Some pretty valid points are raised but y'all have to realize that this stuff is usually rehearsed - although both parties claim that both the joke and the reaction to it weren't.

Or, a crime in search of a justification.

I have been raising this question for months.

Yeah, I know, but seriously you think this man is a credible source?

CNN Plus what, exactly?

Dear Gov. "Death Sentance": GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY.

Apologize to the furries.

Hate to break it to you all, but there is no mechanism to force a Supreme Court Justice to recuse him/herself from a case. You have to impeach him.

Maybe we should start calling them "Doocy Caps" instead of "Dunce Caps".

Cheap Shots (Monday is Rum day. Tuesday is for Vodka. Ukrainian, please.):

When we say #DefundThePolice, we mean THIS.

As much as I despise Fox News Gossip, this is horrible.

Or make it a skiff. Look it up.

If your kids are being taught Critical Race Theory, be glad - you've probably raised a lawyer as this is a GRADUATE LAW SCHOOL course. Not grade school.

I don't give a flying fuck about Tom Brady. I'm not going to link to his flip-flopping horseshit either.

Think that US Fiscal Policy doesn't make much sense? Here's part of the reason why.

Tip your bartender well. She's fighting for you.

And because I love you, have some Dirty Loops:

Cheap Shots (Tequila - and not that cheap frat boy stuff either. Agave or drink something else! I started this list on Friday, which is why the change up from my usual Monday Rum):

My first reaction was "that didn't take long", but this is about previous sanctions.

The tale of the Konotop Witch.

Dosvedanya!

Better Dosvedanya.

Don't mess with Dolly. She didn't eve do anything here.

Pussy Riot!

Your'e so vain you probably think this song is about you.

Voter "living in an RV down by the river" FraudFraud.

Please, come evacuate into the country invading you.

Did someone drink the jello?

I was going to make a joke about this being HB 666 (true!), but I can do no better than this ACTUAL QUOTE from a "concerned" parent: “The school does not need to teach our children how to do oral sex,” she said. “That’s my job.”

Walking while texting - Russian style.

Fuck off three times.

'twas not pickled cucumbers that took out the Russian drone. 'twas tomatoes.

Typical Shell Oil. Remember that they were the onbly oil producer to never back off supporting Apartheid.

Perhaps it's just "hooray for our side"?

First Disney backs the "Don't Say Gay" bill. Then their "Surgeon General" says that children shouldn't be vaccinated. The Republican Party of Florida has become Pro Child Abuse.

Well the good news is that he will never hold that job again.

Mr. Seismograph Signature seems to be upset about something.

Unfriendly? I've been downright rude.

NY Prosecutors not brave enough? Did Law And Order lie to me?

If you want to make donations to Ukraine, send money not stuff.

First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

Kinda sucks to have someone invade your home, doesn't it?

Grassley can go fuck eggs.

And because I love you, a song I didn't put on this list but that is most worth your time, and I love the video:
