Radio Free California Episode 2519, Jill Sobule's final song, RFK Jr is a fucking idiot and more
New music from Sub-Radio (whose album finally dropped!), Tetrarch, Sam Roberts Band, I'm With Her, Cypress Hill, Unwed Sailor, kid moon, Liam Finn, Little Feat, Molly Miller Trio, Elbow, The Amazons, Ainsley Costello and much more. Enjoy!
Sometimes I get queries from artists about how I decide what's going on my playlists and how do they get on them. The simple answer is that I have to find you. You can't buy your way on, and I have no idea why you'd want to. While I do heavily focus on brand new stuff there are other criteria as well. But sometimes, every once and a while, a slight bit of nepotism can creep in. Track 47 on this list is by Cameron Esther and it's her debut single. She's the daughter of a guy I knew in college and have seen a few times since.
But it wouldn't end up on the playlist if I didn't like it.

So in an interview yesterday RFK Jr. said during an
interview that "Only very sick kids should die of measles." That's
the exact quote.
No, you elitist fuck monkey.
No one should die from measles. No one.
Ever. We cured the fucking thing. We created a situation where no one caught
the disease anymore. No one died, and no one got sick.
Not until people stopped vaccinating their kids.
You didn't get measles. I didn't get measles. Although we
grew up on opposite sides of the country, although you grew up wealthy and I
did not, I know for certain that the reason for this is that you, me and
everyone we both knew got vaccinated. Every state in the
nation made vaccinations mandatory to attend school - both public and private.
And measles was gone. GONE. Motherfucking gone.
How about we don't let kids, or anyone else for that matter,
get sick in the first place? It's easy, proven to work not just in the US but
all around the world, and until you fucking idiots came along it was paid for
by the government, as part of the common good.
People don't get religious exemptions from laws and lawsuits
because giving anyone such a thing not only creates separate classes in this
country, but is against the common good for everyone - that we all can pursue
happiness. People shouldn’t' get a religious exemption for vaccines either.
And for the record, it has been proven over and over again
that vaccines have NOTHING to do with autism. People who say that are LYING.
They have been told a lie, and are spreading it around.
Kinda like measles.

I think it's worth pointing out that American Nazi Stephen
Miller is counting on you not knowing that the Executive
Branch doesn't have the authority to suspend habeas corpus. I don't think that
gets taught universally anymore.
If Obama, Biden, or Clinton had accepted a gift as extravagant
as an airplane there would be congressional hearing from here until doomsday,
as there should be. This is a crime. a real, demonstratable crime. Who gave
congress the hand job so that they'd shut up about it?
Also, if you don't think that airplane is full of listening
devices then you're a fucking idiot.
By the way RFK Jr., why don't we start substituting the word
"Kennedy" for the word "autism" every time you talk down to
them?
Can people stop going on any show hosted by Bill Maher? Please, it's embarrassing.
Remember when "Box Wine" Pirro conspired to place listening devices on her husband's yacht in an effort to catch him having an affair? Good times, good times.
Having an agreed framework for creating a trade deal and calling it a trade deal is the same as producing an empty sheet tray and saying you have cookies.
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is sending signals that FDA will likely not authorize a COVID-19 booster vaccine this year for children, and perhaps not for the general population as a whole, saying he “cannot, in good faith” recommend booster vaccination for children. How about in bad faith? I'll take them in bad faith. I'll take a COVID booster regardless of your faith.+++++++++++++++++
And because I love you, here is the late Jill Sobule's final song:
