ALBUM SHOW NOTES
What are we playing this week? Really torn up about it. I have finally settled on the new album by The Virginmarys, called The House Beyond The Fires. This is a great riff-heavy rock and roll album - the kind that doesn't get much radio play anymore and I think that's why I chose it over the competition, which I will get to in a moment. Their biography on Spoitify is full of industry buzzwords and self-hype and quite frankly is a bit of a turn-off. But the music is fantastic, well-written and well executed. Give it a listen.
The organization Playing for Change has been around for a while now, going around the world and eliciting some great performances of classic songs from artists of every stripe. You should really check out their videos on YouTube, which includes a band led by Robbie Robertson (in what I believe was his final live performance) and Ringo Star doing "The Weight", Peter Gabriel and Meshell Ndegeocello performing "Biko", Bob Marley's son Stephen performing "No Woman No Cry". These three songs and a few more have been collected on the album Song For Humanity, which was my other choice for this week.
Both albums are available in all the usual places.
The Album Show plays on Thursdays at 9am and 9pm Pacific Standard Time.
RFC 2448
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 50 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 Thursday 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 2009, and this week we're going to pick another year we haven't gone to yet - another one I've never covered before.
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.
Those of you who frequent this blog know that I started taking a deep dive into Project 2025. I only made it half way throough because I found it all to fucking depressing, and for a bit there I had hope for the nation.
When Kamala Harris eventually runs for Governor of California I will vote for her. Then we can teach the rest of the nation how it's done. What I have to decide is whether or not I'm going to be voting remotely, through an embassy.
But until then, lat's take a look at my predictions about Project 2025 that are already underway:
Government jobs will be Patronage Jobs: Hell, just look at his cabinet picks. This is already the most corrupt government in history and not a single person has yet to be sworn in.
Changes at the Department of Defense: The nominee for the job has already said he plans to fire any General who supported all attempted to diversify the ranks, from trans, to gays to even people of color and their religion. He even believes that women shouldn't serve in combat - which they've been doing since the days of Bush II. A Republican, you might recall. Also, all Trans personnel are to be kicked out with a dishonorable discharge. This will include a 4-star ADMIRAL .
No Background Checks: You night not remember this, but early in the section about the Department of State comes a section to have New appointees start their jobs before they are sworn in.and to skip the vetting process altogether.
Intelligence Community: All operations are at the direction/discretion of the President. not the head of the CIA. In appointing a known lapdog this will be easy to implement.
Education: If you look at the State of Florida, you will find that of the roughly 500 college courses about diversity and sensitivity towards other cultures about 95% of them have been cancelled. The letters have already gone out to colleges across the country telling them to get in step with this.
Remember, this has already happened. They're not in office yet.
Good luck out there.
And because I love you, let me put Ice-T and Body Count in your face:
