ALBUM SHOW NOTES
For the uniniated Jake Bugg might have seemed to come from nowhere with his sixth album, "A Modern Day Distraction", but in fact he has been on w whirlwind rise going back over a decade. He leaped on the UK stage by sending a song called "Lightning Bolt" to the BBC as part of an unsigned bands and soon found himslef playing Glastonbury - even before he was signed. He is actually a well-know star in his native England and has toured with the likes of Lana Del Rey and many others. This is his second album for RCA, and it's a solid rock/pop album that I think you'll like as much as I do. We will be playing "A Modern Day Distraction" as this week's selection on The Album Show.
Other new albums this week well worth your time include Do You Know from The Iddie-Biddies, If There's A Heaven from Melt, and No Way To Relax When You Are On Fire from Dora Jar. I also have to recommend the soundtrack to the Apple TV+ show Bad Monkey, which is made up of nothing but Tom Petty covers and includes efforts from 28 different artists. Also I hear Coldplay has a new album out, but I found it kind of dull. What's not dull is the new album from Nice Biscuit called "SOS". Finally, if you weren't already aware, Billie Eilish's new one, Hit Me Hard and Soft is really quite good. All of these albums are available wherever you get your music.
The Album Show plays on Thursdays at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.
RFC 2441
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 1986, 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.

I've read Project 2025 and men, this is true: They're coming for the porn.
All come together in times of peril my pasty white ass.
Interesting that solving non-existant problems could end democracy.
And because I love you here's a previw of a song I'll be adding next week:
