ROTATING OUT: SONGS LEAVING RADIO FREE CALIFORNIA

This means the music that is aging out is from Radio Free California Episode 2319. This includes music from Iggy Pop, Gord Downie with Bob Rock, The Smashing Pumpkins, Cory Wong, Yusuf, Ben Folds, Peter Gabriel, Trev Lukather, Peter One and much 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

I "discovered" Sia probably a little bit before the rest of the world really did. Back in the late 2000's I caught a couple of performances by her on "Later... with Jools Holland" and she performed a song called "The Girl you lost to Cocaine", a nice solid pop-rocker (go check it out for yourself - it's at the bottom of this post and one of the last times she showed her face in videos). So when she dropped a new album this week I knew I'd want to feature it. The album features guest appearances from Chaka Khan, Kylie Minogue, Paris Hilton (needle scratching noises across the album)... Paris Hilton??? and the 15 songs that make up this new album, "Reasonable Woman", are Sia at her usual songwriting and performing best. She's going to have a few hits from this one I suspect.

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

RFC 2419

For those of you who stay away from Spotify this playlist will be played this Wednesday May 8th 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 Saturday at 10pm and again on Sunday at 10am and 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 1975 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.

Cheap Shots:

Fuck Windows 11.

Oh yeah, that's not creepy at all.

White people, but with subtitles.

Do these people have any staff at all?

Is it bad that I still don't give a shit about any of this?

Not taking that bet.

If you were feeling sorry for Hope Hicks, don't.

Clever and unsettling.

I have to admit that the line, “He was kinda like Erin Brockovich, but a Kennedy.” made me laugh. Just for different reasons than intended.

Oh that's not creepy either.

Yet another reason to not visit Texas, and/or get the fuck outta there.

It's getting a wee bit difficult to feel sorry for people who travel to Russia voluntarily.

I guess I missed that day in Civics class where this requirement for the job was discussed.

Tenessee banned chemtrails, so why the fuck not.

Party doesn't matter when all you want to be is a crime boss.

Heat Death of the Internet. (hat tip to estherschindler at Counter Social, who found it first).

I was led to believe that the Wicked Witch of the West had green skin.

Lay down the Simbelmyne.

And because I love you, Here's that Sia song I mentioned earlier:
