Including punk, rap, industrial, and many world musics. toward the end of the night, you’ll hear dub-meets-ambient styles that are appropriate for the show’s 1AM end time.

Hear are videos of some of the music you are likely to hear on my shows this month:

Can Haz DJ: we’ll be rocking tonight @10pm

October 25, 9pm

Tonight at 10pm on Can Haz DJ I’ll be playing indie/punk/math from the locales of San Diego, Chicago, Louisville & Richmond VA. Maybe a bit from DC, Baltimore, SF & Portland, too. That means bands n’ music like these here below, see what you think:

And a bunch of music that’s not at all like this, as I keep up the usual level of diversity in the Can Haz DJ playlist. Some new electronic music, a flashback to last week’s Monk theme. And some more Halloweenish music as it is less than a week away, after all.

Saturday Night (10/22) Karaoke Benefit Party for Radio Valencia!

October 21, 6pm

Come down to Chez Poulet (Cesar Chavez @ Mission) to sing and support Radio Valencia.

Join us as we bend, spindle and mutilate popular music and raise money for a great cause! Challenge Karaoke puts a fun twist on boring old Karaoke and really makes for a stupid evening. RSVP on Facebook.

It goes like this: You pay a small fee to sing (at least a dollar). During your song, anyone from the crowd can pay the KJ another dollar to shut you up. Then you or anyone else can pay a dollar to resume singing. Or up the ante… if you pay more, someone has to match it to shut you up. Then the twist… it is legal for someone else to sign you up to sing a song of THEIR choosing. It gets downright vicious!

Last time we did it we made over $500 for the station. We just updated and rewired the entire studio, got a new broadcast board and so on… dropped like $5,000. This small community station doesn’t have $5,000. So it’s Karaoke to pay the credit cards bills!!!

Did you know Radio Valencia has over 55 DJ’s? Did you know we have thosands of hours of podcasts, an Android and iPhone app and just yesterday David J (of Bauhaus) was on the station? Cool shit is happening over here. You should listen: www.radiovalencia.fm

Karaoke is $10 to get in. Starts at 9. Your KJ is Paul DeJong.

See ya there!!!!!
