Radio Free California Episoce 2338, radio station notes, and what is a satirist supposed to do?

New music this week from Vagabon, Olivia Rodrigo, Mickey Dolenz, Copperstone, Stephen Marley, Woods, Brian Setzer and much more! Enjoy!

Laetitia Tamko, better known by her stage name Vagabon, is a Cameroonian-American self-taught multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and music producer based in New York City. She and her family relocated to the US when she was 13 so that her monther could attend Law School. She got a guitar as a present at age 17 and the rest is history. Her third album, "Sorry I haven't Called" is out now and I added three songs from that album to the rotation this week, so of course it's a natural for The Album Show.

The Album Show will run this Thursday September 21st at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.

For those of you who stay away from Spotify this playlist will be played this Wednesday September 20th at 2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm and 6pm PST. All of the songs I feature on Radio Free California are played as part of the regular rotation.

One last programming note: Every Sunday at 10am and again at 10pm we will feature our new show "10 at 10", where we play 10 (and sometimes 11) songs from a year we pick at random. Again, all times are PST.

No cheap shots this week. Between the former guy continually confessing his sins over and over again, MItch McConnel shorting out twice, Ms. Boebert picking exaqctly the wrong line of an Alanis Morrisette song to base her life on, the guy who owns twitter blaming his troubles on the Jews, every elected Republican of note strenuously dfending the 2nd ammendments of anyone not named Hunter Biden, NBC apparently letting their new Meet the Press host swing in the wind with an agreement to not fact-check a known liar, the same liar claiming he can beat Obama and prevent World War Two, A Presidential Candidate with a "Canadian Girlfriend",  The chief medical official in one of the more populous states in the country telling people not to get vaccinated, a church picking up the cirriculum for AP African American Studies, the Senate dropping its dress code (but for Senators only), several people tryhing to restart talk shows only to back out because they were shamed back into reality, people claiming that abortion after birth is actually a thing, and a freakin' fighter jet just going missing...

How the hell is satire supposed to keep up with all this shit?

And because I love you, I once again present a single of mine I'm really proud of, which will be a Spotify pick for the month of October:
