What a fun night this was, and I think you can tell from the between set banter. I know, I know, you’ve come for the music, and the music you shall have. Though Spring is in the air, other than the first track, I wasn’t thinking of producing a spring-themed show. You can think of this as one if that helps you sleep at night, but honestly it was just me throwing down.
New music from an Emily Palen side project: Othered. She’ll be in the studio April 4th to talk up new KnightressM1 recordings. I have been dying to interview Emily, so this promises to be fun.
I’ve got some Jazz, 60s Psych, Funk, Metal, Garage, and Iggy Pop. What else could you ask for?
We have a fundraiser for Radio Valencia this Sunday, March 27th, 4-10PM at our next door neighbors house, Make Out Room, 3225 22nd Street, in the Mission District of San Francisco. We need money for new equipment and upkeep. We also desperately need to spruce up the new space. Info on the flyer below. We would love to see you there.
Enjoy and please share.

There are neighborhoods around San Francisco I get excited about, and then there are neighborhoods I’d just rather avoid all-together. I’ve spent countless days in rough hoods like Bayview, Hunters Point, Western Addition, and the like. I’ve seen some crazy things in these neighborhoods. I’ve participated in crazy things in these neighborhoods. And I have often asked myself if I felt safe? Trust me when I tell you there were plenty of times, walking in the middle of the night, deep in the heart of some neighborhood, where I knew the streets well during the day, but at night something else happens entirely.
I do not spend much time in the Tenderloin. Other than seeing shows at the Great American Music Hall, a few services at Glide, or taking my students on a field trip to the federal courthouse (which is more Civic Center than TL), this just isn’t a place I like to find myself. It’s not that it’s crime-infested. It’s junkie-infested. And why? This is where the treatment centers are located!
It’s that energy I just can’t be around.
So imagine my surprise when I got a call from Stephen DePace of Flipper, telling me about an upcoming exhibit at the Tenderloin Museum titled “Sounds of the Tenderloin“? The first words out of my mouth were “there’s a museum in the TL?”. There is indeed a museum in the TL. The Tenderloin Museum opened its doors in 2015.
And here I thought I knew (almost) everything about the history of music in San Francisco.
Stephen brought the exhibition curator Dale Hoyt over to the RV studios to talk about the show and some history of the TL that was music to my ears. There is a lot of information over at the museum website, and some great shows coming up in support of the exhibit, including our friends Flipper at Great American Music Hall, May 26th.
Let’s all go on a field trip to the Tenderloin Museum to check out this exhibit together. Just watch out for the needles.
Enjoy.

We have a fundraiser coming up, Sunday, March 27th, 4-10PM at Make Out Room, 3225 22nd Street, in SF. They’re our next door neighbor! This is going to be a ton of fun. Come on out and celebrate your favorite freeform, non-commercial, streaming-only radio station: Radio Valencia. We’ll have some merch on hand.
A Skatterbox Session is a form of reconstructive art. Imagine a collection of pristine albums, movies, and stand up comedy routines preserved perfectly in stained glass. Put those into a box. Shake the shit out of the box until everything is broken into a gazillon pieces, then dump out the contents and decorate the box with the broken pieces to form something unique. That is what you will experience here. As always, the Alchemist asks you to please enjoy responsibility.
