Radio Free California Episode 2313, quoting a hero, and cheap shots.

 


New music this week from Fall Out Boy, Mammoth WVH, Nickel Creek, Depeche Mode, Thunderpussy, The Regrettes, Morgan and the Organ Donors, Darren Jessee and much more. Enjoy!

No podcast this week - too much happening in my personal life. More on that later.

If you want to find information about any of the artists in this week's playlist just click on the artist and scroll down to their bio in Spotify. If you click on that you will most likely be led to website and socials for each artist. 

A couple of notes: I'm not a fan of Fall Out Boy and was surprised to find two songs on their new album that I liked. I always listen just in case something like this happens. I find FOB kind of gimmicky but they sometimes the gimmick works. The Depeche Mode album is pretty good - at least better then their last couple of albums. And the Nickel Creek album is full of surprises and is well worth the time.

Enjoy!

Hero of the week: Nebraska State Senator Megan Hunt:

"Don't say hi to me in the hall, don't ask me how my weekend was, don't walk by my desk and ask me anything. Don't send me Christmas cards ― take me off the list," Hunt warned. "No one in the world holds a grudge like me, and no one in the world cares less about being petty than me. I don't care. I don't like you."

Cheap shots:

You can sing gay.

Reset the fucking clock.

He's going to order them all to commit suicide with him someday. He's not Moses, he's Jim Jomes.

Are there enough people left for this to be an inside job?

Sorry Madam Press Secretary,  but I don't think the GOP can count that high.

One take-away from this: the smart kids are leaving Florida.

I'm no expert on this artist, but I thought this was funny.

So what do you think they value more? White kids or guns?

Seems to me that we're about due for a Federal Override on all this horseshit.

Read between the lines. Not only no passengers, but no crew either.

And because I love you, here's the funny video for the first song in this week's list.

Radio Free California Episode 2312 and hey! There's a podcast now! Also cheap shots.

 


New music this week from Avenged Sevenfold, The Damned, Moule, Aly & ASJ, Downpilot, Darkcave, M83, Genevieve Artadi, Daddy Long Legs and much more. Enjoy!

I am testing a new idea, to also create a podcast version of these playlists. It's the same playlist, but I've added notes about the artists and the songs, how I found them and some personal information about the artists. It isn't much more, but it can give you some insight as to how I put these playlists together. It plays in the Spotify App. I'm not saying I'm going to keep doing these or do them every time, but I wanted to at least try it out.

Cheap Shots:

No motherfucker, it ain't the crime, it's the coverup.

Dear Atlanta Grand Jury, Fulton County District Attorney et. al: Lower the boom on these cunts.

I swear, the Government of Florida is all 12 year-old boys. Don't talk about the gross stuff.

"...how much you have to hate your kids to get distracted by that..."


In case you haven't noticed, there is a prevalent and ongoing effort to make the U.S. Military into a Christian only organization. And not the nice Christians either.

Um, isn't both-sides genocide called... um... war? Not even going to get into the racist stuff here.

Veto baby. Veto.


There's no such thing as the people who were there before you? Racist motherfucker.


If we meet and you're wearing an AR-15 pin (like those fuckers in Congress) there's a good chance that I'm going to punch you.


Should we print signs that read "Still Alive for Number Five"?


Why isn't he back on twitter? Because it would be securities fraud.

And because I love you, here is the music video for one of the Downpilot songs on this week's playlist.

Radio Free California Episode 2311, a quick note about the Oscars, plus a number of cheap shots.

 


New music from legends like Yes, Peter Gabriel, Fishbone and Depeche Mode, plus great bands like Your Heart Bleeds, Theo Katzman, Blondshell, Christine and the Queens, Beach Fossils and much more. Enjoy!

I used to post Social links for the artists on these playlists, but when twitter melted I decided to stop doing this. If you want to follow any of these bands, look them up on Spotify (you can just click on the band's name in the playlist above) and go to their band page. If you scroll down and look at their bio most bands have links to their socials and websites there.

I don't generally have opinions when it comes to the Oscars, except for the music categories - because I know a great deal about them. The score for All Quiet on the Western Front was the best one and it deserved the win. When it comes to best song, for me I want the song to be something that is integral to the film, not what shows up over the end credits. Far too often (and for 3 of this year's nominees) the song has nothing to do with the movie, even if thematically it ties in (like Rhianna's song for Wakanda Forever - which face it is a nice song) it's not about the movie itself. It's just song placement. 

For me in order to win this category the song has to be a PART of the movie. That was only the case for 2 of this year's nominees. And one of them actually won - which is't common. I approve.

Cheap Shots (Monday is Rum day):

Side effects include your heart exploding you stupid fucks.

How stupid do you have to be to think that "woke" crashed a bank?

Who was it who said that you shouldn't trust a man who doesn't like dogs?

My only real comment on the Oscars this year is that everything that should have won pretty much did. That's kind of rare, actually.

Seems to me the only appropriate response is to refer to him as "Toadstool Tool T...."


Speaking of which, Toadstool Tool Trump doesn't want to talk under oath.

I've always thought that Kimmel is kind of a dick. He can be funny, but he's also a bit mean.

You mean it wasn't "wokeism"?

Sorry Tukkies, but he's guilty, guilty, guilty.

Given that people are starting to use Tukkie's on-air bullshit as parts of their defense, and given that it is full of lies, I think a case can be made that Tukkies should be arrested and prosecuted for OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

A LITERAL softball interview. Given the number of edits, you have to wonder how many of those throws resulted in catches. Neither man seems to be the type to play catch.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Texas is the Hee-Haw version of The Handmaid's Tale.

I don't think there is a safe way to set off a "Carbon Bomb".

Maybe we do need to nationalize the Railroads. I mean, fuck these schmucks.


I'm linking to this just for the headline.



And because I love you, here is the Oscar winner for Best Original Song in context. I was surprised that it won because in general Oscar voters tends to vote for the saccharine. It absolutely deserved the win.

Radio Free California Episode 2310, plus a few cheap shots.

 


New music from Extreme, The Church, Metallica, Dream Club, The The, Your Favorite band's Favorite Band, Magaziine,  The Dandy Warhols, The National, Haken and much much more. Enjoy!

If you want to follow these artists on social media, I recommend looking at their artist profiles on Spotify. They usually point you in the right direction to find where they like their followers to come.

Cheap shots:

All you are is dust in the swamp.

I'm pretty sure Dick Wolf will make a TV show out of this.

Meatball DeSantis is a fuckhead.

It is so strange to find myself agreeing with the sentiments expressed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but there we are.

Apparently Nazi Dildos are a thing now.


I'm starting to wonder if Mexico wants to hire Dog the Bounty Hunter and capture this terrorist.

I agree. There will be American Refugees, in America. There already are.

Careful there sir, because you know he's got a nickname for you too.

RIP to The Creature.

And because I love you, here is your favorite band's favorite band, making Cate Blanchette dance.
