ALBUM SHOW NOTES
There are a lot of good new albums out this week, and that's actually kind of a shame, because I made a promise that I would play the full album by The Linda Lindas once it came out. Guess what? The full album, called "No Obligation" is now out. Let's face it, the rise of The Linda Lindas is kind of incredible: they went viral for playing their punk anthem "Racist, Sexist Boy" at a Los Angeles Public Library during the worst days of the Pandemic and before all of them had finished JUNIOR HIGH they had a record deal. The new album is their second full-length album and the songcraft has just improved at a near-geometric rate, and their live shows are all showstoppers. There are a LOT of potential hits on this album, and I'm going to play all 12 songs from it for you this week on the album show.
But as I said, there are a lot of other good albums out this week, and any of them could have made the cut if The Linda Lindas weren't already occupying the top spot. This includes Smitten by Pale Wolves, The EP Sadolescence by Indoor Foxes, No Hero from Desperate Journalist, Lighthouse from Francis of Delirium, For Your Sins by Dea Matrona, No Small Parts by Sweet Loretta, The Heart, The Mind, The Soul from Tank and the Bangas, and if you're really adventurous you should try out Goat, by Goat. I've linked to Spotify but all of these albums including the Linda Lindas one are available at all the usual places.
The Album Show plays on Thursdays at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.
RFC 2442
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 51 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 1976, and this week we're going to pick another year we haven't gone to yet - a year just a bit more recent.
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.
No cheap shots this week. You have no idea how busy I've been with secret project I will talk about much later.
But becaue I love you, here's the video for "Glasgow" by Pale Waves.
