Radio Free California Episode 2336 & 2337, Radio Station Notes, Social Media.

 

I took a week off so we have a two week batch of new music for you this time, including Peter Gabriel, The Rolling Stones, The Killers, Love is Noise, Dezit, Prince, Katy Kirby, Royal Blood, The Coral, Sarah Jarosz, William Shatner (!!!) and much more. Enjoy!

For the curious let me get this out of the way now: of the 9 nominations I won exactly ONE. Best Alternative Artist for "Woke AF". It was the first award of the night. I have to tell you, watching other people win in your categories for the rest of the night is humbling AND annoying. There was a very Jesusy feel to the evening, and that's not me. Anyway, it's over and let's move on.

Soft Science has a new album out called "Lines" and we will be featuring it on this week's Album Show. From their Spotify page: "Hailing from Northern California’s Sacramento Valley, Soft Science fuse melody, sound and texture of '60s pop and '90s shoegaze like molecular gastronomists blend physics and chemistry to transform food. Together this 5-piece band has managed to create their own sweet blend of modern pop music with a sonic edge. Their music is influenced by bands ranging from the Zombies and Beach Boys to Lush, Teenage Fanclub, Ride, Pale Saints, New Order, and Jesus and Mary Chain, along with newer artists such as Beach House and Frankie Rose. Current members/collaborators: Katie Haley, Ross Levine, Matt Levine, Tony Cale, Becky Cale, and Hans Munz." I don't know about all that but I listened to the album and found myself going back to relisten to tracks, so it's this week's pick.

The Album Show will run this Thursday September 14th at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.

For those of you who stay away from Spotify this playlist will be played this Wednesday September 13th 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: at 10am and again at 10pm next Sunday the 17th 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.

As a reminder, you can also download the Radio Free California app at the App store.

Finally, we now have a Facebook Page for Radio Free California. You can find updates there and links to the artists we cover.

It's the anniversary of one terrible day. No cheap shots today.

And because I love you, have Prince doing Zepplin:
