ROTATING OUT: SONGS LEAVING RADIO FREE CALIFORNIA

This means the music that is aging out is from Radio Free California Episode 2306. This includes tracks from Peter Gabriel, The Winery Dogs, Kat Robichaud, Koshi Inaba, Theo Katzman, a great remake from Powerwolf, and a monster prog rock song from Canada's Crown Lands, and more.

We celebrate these songs with a new show that will play on Saturdays at 11am and again at 5pm PST. We will say goodbye to the songs that are now a year on the playlist with one last broadcast, which will be repeated a couple of times during the day.

You can of course still listen to this music - my playlists are still on spotify and you can find them here. They're all searchable as well.

ALBUM SHOW NOTES

This week on The Album Ahow we will feature the new album from veteran Britpop band Shed Seven and their new album "A Matter of Time". It's a solid album and frankly among the best work they've done in their 30 year career. From their Spotify page: "this album flies out of the traps - perhaps reflecting its origins during lockdown - and ends in autumnal, reflective mood. Along the way, guests including the Libertines’ Peter Doherty, Rowetta from Happy Mondays and Reverend and the Makers’ Laura McClure have joined in to produce in another set of epic Shed Seven anthems. The album’s power and maturity reflects the decades-long friendship between singer Witter, guitarist Paul Banks, and bassist Tom Gladwin. A Matter Of Time demonstrates that the band are at the very top of their game and the journey is far from nearing its end."

The Album Show will run this Thursday February 8th at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.

10 at 10

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 we featured a selection of songs from 2012 and for next Sunday's show we're going to feature a small selection of songs from.. well you'll have to tune in to find out!

As always, you can go to https://global.citrus3.com:2020/public/radiofreecalifornia to listen to the station, and there is an imbed below. And did you know the station is available as an app? It's only for Google Play (sorry iphone users - Apples terms and conditions were too restrictive for me) but you can listen on your phone at your convenience too.

And because I love you, the new video from J Mascis is a TRIP:
