A heavier week for new music, including new releases from Lien, Ace Frehley, Geddy Lee, Califula's Horse, a fascinating re-release from Paul McCartney, Green Day, Big Big Train, Guns N' Roses, Velveteen and much more! Enjoy!
A couple of things about this week's playlist: I admit that I was as surprised as anyone to see a new Guns N' Roses song, especially one this dark and alt-rock. A lot of rockers put out new singles this past week, from Bruck Dickinson (of Iron Maiden) to Ace Frehley (possibly capitalizing on the timing of the last KISS show), Moldovia's Infected Rain, Green Day dropping a new single from their upcoming album, prog rockers Lien, Big Big Train and Caligula's Horse all dropping new singles, and even a very stripped down "Band on the Run" from Paul McCartney. Usually you get mostly Christmas songs this time of year so this week's finds were a happy surprise.
There are some indie acts in there too; my friend Kiffie (who is getting more and more notice in his native England - you should check him out on bandcamp), Velveteen, The Eyes of Heisenberg, Benjamin Russel with Rob Stuart and more all contribute new tracks.
ALBUM SHOW NOTES
This week we are featuring the new album by Los Angeles-based Health, entitled "Rat Wars". They describe themselves as "comfortable with their own uncomfortableness" but to my ear they sound like The Cure meets Nine Inch Nails. I feature a couple of their songs on this week's adds to the radio station but you should get the chance to hear the enitre album uncut, so it will be this week's feature on The Album Show.
The Album Show will run this Thursday December 14th at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.
For those of you who stay away from Spotify this playlist will be played this Wednesday December 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. 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 1983 and here is what you missed:

Cheap Shots:
Rudy sez, "If he wasn't so black in the first place I wouldn't be so racist!"
As I have said repeatedly, it the Hee-Haw version of The Handmaid's Tale.
She probably went to New Mexico, but she'd be welcome in California.
No he won't you fucking idiot.
Why haven't we fired this murderous fuck yet?
Nine days to file their paperwork might seem like a long time, but for the Supremes this is like Riverdancing.
I hate to break it to you Republicans, but no one gives a shit
Allowing teens to be tortured is fine but an abortion isn't? That's what I'm getting from this..
So dumb he was the victim of his own administration!
I am loathe to mention this man and his misadventures unless there is some comedy to be mined. Being called out by the AI bot you had invented twice on the same post is pretty fucking funny.
And because I love you, here is the new video from tAKiDA. I'll add the song to the station rotation next week.
