ALBUM SHOW NOTES

I knew I was going to have a tough choice ahead of me this week. Cory Wong with the Metrepole Orkest dropped their full album this past week, and the new Vulfmon album also finally dropped. The new album from Humanist is also really good, with a couple of very surprising guest vocalists. But then I grabbed the new album by The Buoys called "Lustre" and I was shocked at just how damned good this album is. It blew away every other band I was considering.

They describe themselves as "Combine a fizzled out tinder date, a Gumtree ad and a million mutual friends" but that tells you nothing about the songcraft and playing chops of these four women from Sydney Australia. They're starting to break big and I highly recommend getting on board now so that you can say "I was a fan beforfe everyone was". We will play "Lustre" on the Album Show this week in it's entirety, and I've added 4 songs from the album to the regular rotation - and the video for their current single can be found below.

The Album Show will plays on Thursdays at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.

RFC 2431

For those of you who stay away from Spotify the current week's additions will be played on Wednesdays. This is a change from prior programming: what we're going to do going forward is just play the music added this week only. Every other day will be the usual rotation, but we set aside Wednesdays for just the new additions for the week. This week that's 56 songs (a record for one week!) which we will play in the same order that they're in on the Spotify playlist of the same name up at the top of this post. So if you tune in at just about any time on Wednesday you will hear the whole playlist.

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 I played a group of songs from 1987, and this week will be from this century instead..

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:

"Family Values" says the unmarried man with no children and rumors about his sexuality.

White Dudes for Harris. Hell, I signed up.

You won't have to vote ever again.

Stuff like this has always made me wonder why the Republicants think this country backs Biden.

Nice OpEd. Now can we do more?

Still blaming things on Obama? Jeez lady, cut down on the boxed wine.

The most famous version of Hannibal Lector finally responds.

I don't mean to kink-shame, but wowza.

I know you want there to be deliberation in this but you have to remember that we got Mike Pence as VP because Reince Preibus got a plane to delay it's takeoff by two hours.

Sometimes it is about just showing up.

And because I love you, here is the video for the song "Ahead of Myself" by The Buoys:
