Radio Free California Episode 2347, radio station notes, and respect for a kind lady.

 


New music from many an indie artist and a few from way way back in the day. We have Blush Hour, Mr. Groove, Dolly Parton with Pat Benetar, Madness, Judas Priest, Spells and Curses, SOS, Dua Lipa and much much more. Enjoy!

ALBUM SHOW NOTES

Some interesting new albums out this week and while it's tempting to play Dolly Parton's 30-song foray into rock I just don't have it in me to subject everyone to that. I mean, no one is going to say no to Ms. Parton covering "Free Bird" and "Stairway to Heaven" but was it necessary? There is also the new album from Madness. Yes, Madness. And what's more, it's a bloody concept album. But I have a spot in my heart for Juliana Hatfield, whom I discovered when she was playing bass for the Lemonheads. She's had a solo carreer since then (including her smash hit in 5 called "Spin the Bottle"), and in recent years has been alternating between solo indie albums and tribute albums - her first was to Olivia Newton John and her second was to The Police. And now she has released "Juliana Hatfield Sings ELO". It's a straight ahead and ernest groupd of covers from all aspects of the ELO catalog, with her own unique spin.

The Album Show will run this Thursday November 23rd at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.

For those of you who stay away from Spotify this playlist will be played this Wednesday November 15th 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. This week, I even threw in an extra song that's not on the playlist above!

One last programming note: Every Sunday at 10am and again at 10pm we will feature our 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. Last week was 1973:

Not doing cheap shots today. Don't have it in me. Instead, I ask that you respect the wishes of a kind lady:
