Radio Free California Episode 2439, radio station notes, and proof the universe has a sense of humor

 


New music this week from Haircut 100! Sub-Radio! Suzanne Vega! Plus worlds greatest dad, Kate Pierson, Dive Time, Body Count, Dropkick Murphys, Ist Ist, Jules Ahoi, Torus, Jaz Karis, Honeyglaze, Tetrarch (my favorite Drop D band), Dive Time and much more. Enjoy!


ALBUM SHOW NOTES

The sophomore album by worlds greatest dad is 13 tracks of alt-rock That they just describe as "we play what we like and hope you like it to". The album is called Better Luck Next Time and it shows growth and playfulness and this might be the album that helps them break big. I've added several songs from this album to the rotation and I'm also going to feature the album as my selection for The Album Show. It's out now and available at all the usual places.

Also out this week is the self-titles album by Drive Time, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers' new album called "I Love You Too", Charlotte Wessels' new release "The Obsession", and of course the new solo album from Kate Pierson of the B-52's called "Radios & Rainbows". which is not to be consufes with the new album by Katy J Pearson called "Someday, Now".

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


RFC 2439

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 58 songs 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 1972, and this week we're going to pick another year we haven't gone to yet - more towards the end of the last century.

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:

Nope. No cheap shots this week. for one thing, the mainstream media is finally starting to notice just how insane things have become, and also I have proof the Univers has a sense of humor. I've just turned 60 years old.

Coming from the very end of the generation that coined the phrase "Don't trust anyone over 30", starting my 7th decade on this strange blue marble is the ultimate jest.

Next goal, live to be the oldest person in my family ever. I've got 45 years to get there.

And because I love you, here is Jordan Ruduss taking one of the world's easiest piano pieces and giving it a serious makeover:
