ALBUM SHOW NOTES

I have been promising to play Lola Young's new album when it finally is released and it is out now. But this past week's releases really threw me a curveball. Lake Street Dive's new album also dropped last week and I've been promising that one as well. And the new album from junodream is just bloody fantastic. And thanks to Rick Beato's YouTube channel, I got clued in to an album I would have normally passed on, the new release from Willow which is shockingly good. I mean, she's only 23 years old! So what do I do now?

Devise a Special schedule is what I do now. So for this week only we are doing it a bit differently. The times are still Pacific Standard on Thursday the 27th, but the plays are like this:

8am and 8pm - Lake Street Dive's new album "Good Together"

9am and 9pm (the usual time) - Lola Young's new album "This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway"

10am and 10pm - Willow's new album "empathogen"

11am and 11pm - junodream's new album "Pools of Colour"

12 noon and Midnight - a Gin and Tonic for getting through all that. The Album Show will return to it's regular slot on Thursdays at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.

RFC 2426

For those of you who stay away from Spotify the current week's playlist will be played on Wednesdays at 2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm and 6pm PST, DJ'd by yours truly. 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.

With one exception!!!

There is a track on the radio station that is an a cappella version of Earth Wind and Fire's "After the Love is Gone" performed by the four-piece group Kings Return. They put it on Youtube for this year's Juneteenth, and it's so amazing that I just had to add it. The video of their performance is below.

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 1974 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:

Once a Nazi, always a Nazi.

They finally got something right, although it took to goddamned long.

“The worst is your hair. I have this beautiful, luxuriant hair… They put on restricters where there’s so much water you don’t know what to do with it. It’s called rain.” It's called Alheimers.

Here's hoping The Force is still with him.

At this point I'm expecting a rubber vs. glue taunt from the GOP. 

AI needs humans.

Um, how does he know that it's a shot in the ass?

LGBTQ Fuck you.

One or the other, please gentlemen.

Once a Nazi, always a Nazi.

Does size matter?

Special - not tragic.

I'm an athiest and I know the bible better than this fool.

The case kinda goes out with a whimper, doesn't it?

And because I love you, here's that video I promised you above:
