Radio Free California Episode 2529, only a couple of thoughts, and RIP Ozzy

 


New music this week from Liang Lawrence, Walter Trout, Vernon Reid, Lissie, Robert Plant, The Goo Goo Dolls, BBBL, Nine Inch Nails, Cory Wong, Forth Wanderers and much more. Enjoy!

Not a lot to talk about this week, save for a sparkling new single from Robert Plant, Nine Inch Nails appearing on a soundtrack, and The Goo Goo Dolls showing up on a different one. 

Cory Wong's latest live album is a lot of fun, and the track I feature this week has a sax solo by Kenni Holman, who is Cory Wong's secret weapon. He's one of the best sax players I've ever heard, and I know Dave Koz. (Sorry Dave).

I admit that I like Amy Macdonald's new album, even if most of it sounds like B-sides and album tracks to me. Ain't nothing wrong with that. The new album from Forth Wanderers is also good, but a bit strange in spots. I like it overall. And of course I have a soft spot for Colin Hay, having seen him live in his troubadour days.

And diving back into the whole AI debate again, is the band ever//never. I'd have never noticed them if they hadn't followed me on Bluesky. I honestly don't know if they're an AI band or not - they sure sound like one but someone is updating their Bluesky feed.

Finally, the Liang Lawrence track "A Day Off in Margaritaville" is a fun song and I'm looking forward to her next album.

Just a gentle reminder everyone: as far as we know Ghislaine Maxwell didn't kill herself next week. But she may be looking at an early release or a pardon/commutation of her sentence to keep quiet.

Is disgraced former General Michael Flynn an extra from Stanley Kubriks' "Doctor Strangelove"?

If the Epstien dossier actually didn't have the new/old guy but did have the fingerprints of Obama/Biden/Clinton all over them don't you think that he would be hawking T-shirts, Hats and NFTs by now?

So Stephen Colbert's show awas cancelled over financial concerns? RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.......

Which presidential pedophile scandal would Jesus help cover up, Mr. Speaker?

RIP Ozzy. Well, fuck.

And because I love you, this may be my favorite of his works:
