ROTATING OUT: SONGS LEAVING RADIO FREE CALIFORNIA

This means the music that is aging out is from Radio Free California Episode 2317. This includes music from Foo Fighters, Monna Lisa Blackout, The Damned, Everything But the Girl, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Pearl & The Oysters, Lucinda Williams and much 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

For their third full studio album Australian band Middle Kids decided to bring in Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975) to co-produce the album and have crafted a pop/rock treasure full of catchy hooks and singable songs. Although it's been only 3 years since they won best Rock album at the ARIA awards they knew they would have to go big this time, and thay have done just that. It's a quick and catchy batch of 13 songs and we're going to feature this new album, "Faith Crisis Pt 1" on this week's album show.

The Album Show will run this Thursday April 25th at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.

RFC 2417

For those of you who stay away from Spotify this playlist will be played this Wednesday April 24th 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. .If you want to hear the songs we've added to the station this week you can use the Spotify playlist above or you can listen to this show.

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 2005 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! We also run the show at a "secret" time on Saturdays.

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.

One thing before I get to insulting people: now that the trial is underway I will not be commenting on the election interference (it's not about paying off a porn star - it's about doing what he accuses his enimies of doing) trial underway in New York. You all know the one I'm talking about. I am a firm believer that because I am not in the courtroom myself I cannot under any stretch accurately comment on anything happening in there. This is a lesson I've learned the hard way. 

I will comment once there is a verdict. This is the line I won't cross: I'll insult and make fun of just about anyone, including myself, but I'm not in the courtroom. Do I have opinions? Yes. Could I make comments like I do with everything below? Yes. Do I stand even the most remote chance of swaying a juror with my blog with its tens of readers? Nope.

Even so, this matters to me. Every thing that happens outside the courtroom I may comment on, and I have real opinions about whether or not the gag order has been violated (it has) and if he should be punished (lock him up), but that's not the trial itself.

I do find it interesting though (and just a touch psychotic) that in the same breath the defendant will say he's immune from prosecution because he has full immunity and proclaim that another person who would have the same immunity by his logic is breaking the law by having him tried.

Cheap shots:

Nick Fuentes must be single.

He broke the law and the law won.

I kinda feel bad that the man's name makes me snigger like a 12 year-old boy, but the headlines really do write themselves. (Note: making fun of a terrible person's name - not commenting on the trial).

If you want to pray for anything, how about praying that this newborn doesn't get killed as things go on

There is a branch of the Christo-Fascist wing of this nation that honestly believes that Jews can be Nazis. Fuck them.

I honestly believe that Gavin is aiming for a cabinet position in the next administration.

And because I love you, meet Lucy Rose:
