Radio Free California Episode 2306, thoughts on Turkey/Syria, and cheap shots.

 


A shorter week for new music but a solid one just the same, featuring Peter Gabriel, The Winery Dogs, Kat Robichaud, Koshi Inaba, Theo Katzman, a great remake from Powerwolf, and a monster prog rock song from Canada's Crown Lands, plus much more! Enjoy!

If you want to follow these artists through social media, might I suggest you look at their artist profiles on Spotify? Most artists link to their socials from there.

Before we get into cheap shots let me blog a moment about the Earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. I sometimes think that we westerners don't have a real idea of just how devastating all of this is, so allow me to point out that according to a friend of mine, who is from Turkey and is an architect, Building codes are fairly strong in Turkey, because it is as active seismically as California or Japan. But strong comes at a price, and most building are only built to withstand up to about a 5.5 Magnitude quake at best because it's just too expensive to build better. In California they're built to withstand an 8.0. In Japan it's even stronger.

But if your country isn't as financially well off as an America, a California or a Japan, you make do with what you can. So when a 7.8 is followed up within a few hours by a 7.2, This region of the world doesn't stand a chance.

There are thousands dead and that number is going to climb, probably a great deal. My architect friend is already on a plane and will get there sometime tomorrow.

Cheap Shots:

To see the other side of it, just about anything is funny when you're on a cocaine binge.


Can we please deflate this story now?

Who da Queen? Bey da Queen!

Breaking my own comment just two sentences previous, this is a great example of how little the US Military actually trusted Trump and his administration.



I know there's a long tradition of taunting the opposing team's players during sportsball, but this is a dick move.

How do you say "Florida Man" in Portuguese? 

I kind of feel like quoting SNL's Church Lady.


Beggars can't be President.

I should point out that the pointy-headed fucks at Faux News are blaming this on a construction project that hasn't started yet.

Why do these Nazi morons always believe that the power grid can be crippled by a couple of fuck-ups with guns?

A good boy in Portugal. 

Ron DeSantis is a motherfucking groomer.


Speaking of grooming.

And because I love you, have some VoicePlay and yes, their bass can sing that low:
