Radio Free California Episode 2343, Radio Station notes, cheap shots, and the former lead singer of Lush

 


An eclectic mix of new music this week including Adoraborealis, blink-182, Fish on Friday, Louis Cato, Atarashii Gakko!, Rik Emmet, Duff McKagan, Hannah Marks, Victory Peach and much more. Enjoy!

To the couple of you who actually listen to the radio station, where every piece of music we've put on these playlists this year can be heard, you might have noticed some dead air early in the week. That's because I made a teeny tiny mistake and erased the music database. You'd be shocked at how easy it was to do. I certainly was. I actually considered packing it in.

This is why you don't make decisions about things like this in the moment and why I don't do social media from my phone. Sometimes immediacy is terrible for you.

After a few hours I figured out an easy way to restore everything and by Thursday we were back to business as usual. That's where we are today.

Anyway, Let me tell you about Emma Anderson. She is one of the founding members of the band Lush, and I promise you would recognize her singing voice. After Lush ended she founded the band Sing-Sing, and now at long last she has released her long-awaited and COVID delayed first solo album, called "Pearlies". Working with the string arranger from Cocteau Twins and Suede Guitars Richard Oakes she ahs released a 10 song album that leaves you wanting more and we're going to feature it this week on the Album Show.

The Album Show will run this Thursday October 26th at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.

For those of you who stay away from Spotify this playlist will be played this Wednesday October 25th 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 or even 12!) songs from a year we pick at random. Again, all times are PST.


Cheap shots:

How much do you want to bet that <<ahem>> somebody winds up back on the Forbes 400?

If he calls the subject of hir ire a bad nickname, you can tell immediately that said person is telling the truth.

Ayatollah Biden? I think not.


So will there be televised debates?

Selling the same horse twice.

Why do people keep saving their opinions about people until they publish their book?

Can we please stop having people praying for the end of the world have any influence on policy?

Talk about old school.

Harris vs. Cheney in 2028. I'd bet money on it.

For those people saying Newt for Speaker, fuck no.

Welp, this is a whole lot of nothing.

He had a spine when John McCain was still alive. Sometimes he still does, although it's rare.

Please Jack, don't blow it. We all know he did it. Get it right.

There is very little more surreal than finding yourself agreeing with Ann Coulter.

And because I love you, here is the Video for this week's Atarashii Gakko! song, where they portray both the Kaijuu, some of the bystanders, and the Self-Defense Force in an old-style Japanese monster movie:
