April 8, 11am
The Illogistical Resource Dept will be on A Season in Hell tonight at 8PM.
You have got to give this band a listen. This rock, psych, electronic band has been compared to Primus, Pink Floyd and Tool, but I have to tell you they come with a very fresh sound all of their own. Noa (drums), Jim (guitar) and Dan (bass) are all veteran musicians, with some serious chops. Anyone who knows them wonders out loud, how it’s possible they haven’t taken over the world already.
They’re having their CD release party this Saturday night at El Rio in SF. They’ll be talking up the show and playing songs off of their new CD, “Catharsis” tonight at 8PM on Radio Valencia.
Enjoy life. Support local music. Go see live shows.

Alexia from The Dark Room Theater will be in to talk up their stage adaptation of Ghostbusters. And for the rest of the night, newlyweds, Marlon and Alicia, who will be married at 6PM tonight by yours truly (yep, I’m a ULC Minister since 1996) will perform their live duo in the RV studios.
This is going to be a party. Tune in, 8-10PM (PDST) tonight.

I’m in a great mood. The sun is shining, it’s almost spring, love is in the air. So how about an all-Blues show tonight? EXCELLENT IDEA!
I was raised on rhythm and blues from the 50s and 60s, so I’ve got a boat-load to share with you.

February 20, 9am
It’s President’s Day in the US, and that means that…um, well, er…I’m not sure what that means. We used to have to holidays in February, one for Washington’s birthday, and one for Lincoln’s birthday. Now it’s all on one day. I guess they figured George and Honest Abe are good guys, but why should they get all the glory? I mean, come on, how about Millard Fillmore, or William Howard Taft? And hey, let’s give it up for my boy James K. Polk!!! Or how about Lester Young?
I got the day off today, which was nice. So I took the time to prepare a tasty treat of a show for you. The first hour features the holiday theme, some of which are a bit subversive. GASP!
Today also marks the 39th anniversary of the release of the first Kiss album, “Kiss”. I pay homage to my first favorite group. I was in the Kiss Army at the age of 5. I truly do want to rock and roll all night, and party every day.
The second hour is all new music, including the great new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds track “Jubille Street”. I can’t wait to see them live at the Civic in San Francisco in April. There is never a lack of great new sounds out there, and leave it to the best radio station west of East Orange, New Jersey to give it to you. I share links for then stuff. Click on it, and go buy their music.
As always, support live, local music.

It’s been six long months, and you’ve been oh so patient, but the wait is over!
6-10PM (PST) John Hell and Ron Donovan will engage in the bootleg battle to end all bootleg battles!
As many of you already know, John and Ron have been collecting bootlegs (live recordings of your favorite bands) for nearly two decades. We have vinyl, cassette, CD and digital (no MP3s – lossless only!) shows of THOUSANDS of bands from all over the world.
Every six months John and Ron get together to once and for all prove who has the best selection (we all know it’s John 
).
We have special guests in the studio, including Bay Area band
Illogical Resources Dept.
More guests are expected, including a
LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE!
We need judges too. You can go to the homepage here, and use our fabulous “CHATTERBOX” to let us know what you think of the show, as well as vote for the winner. We’ll have many sets that you can vote on.
Post pics of where you’re listening to us!
Listen in on the pop-up player.

Let the battle begin!

Well, here we go again. Can you believe it’s already been a year?!?!
There was so much great music this past year. I have to admit, I really love this particular show. Every year I get to showcase what I believe to be the best music of the year, and this year there are some choice cuts to choose from.
If you listen to my show regularly, then you know that I jump around from genre to genre. Tonight my show features a lot of pop, some metal, some psych. There’s no jazz or hip-hop in my list for tonight. That doesn’t mean there weren’t some fabulous tracks out there, just that none of them really struck my fancy enough to feature them in my Best of 2012. Don’t be a hater. There will be plenty of hip hop and jazz in upcoming shows.
In the meantime, enjoy the show, and spread it around, and for God’s sake, go buy some of this great music, and support live, local music every chance you get!
You can download this Best of, and take it with you everywhere you go.
You can stream this awe-inspiring showcase, and play it for your friends at work.

As always, enjoy.
