Hell’s Kitchen Radio #481: Take The High Road

July 13, 10am

Question the Hype HERE
Listen into all my shows here!

Wow, this radio thing is kinda fun. Since I attended Mosswood Meltdown, July 2nd and 3rd, I decided to take last week off. Did you miss me? What do you mean no?

Taking a week off means that I have even more new music to share with you this week! 

If you tune in regularly, then you know my show is all over the place. I play what moves me, hoping it moves you too. New music from Podium, Shannon Shaw, and Ty Segall. There’s a lot that’s new to you, including a Neil Young Archives release, “Toast” from 2001. I also had tickets to give away for an upcoming Bottom of the Hill show. I played music from the three acts performing that night.

Tune in regularly for your chance to win tickets to local shows. 

The Radio Valencia studio is looking better each week: new paint job and soundproofing. And now we have our equipment in tip-top shape. But we still need you. This is an out-of-pocket venture. Bringing you great programming is our mission, and we can really use your help. Please consider donating to Radio Valencia by going to our PayPal (we are financially sponsored by SF IndieFest) and throwing a few bones our way. Every dime is spent on station needs (rent and equipment mostly). I thank you in advance.

Now, go check out the playlist below, click on the link above and enjoy the show.

Hell’s Kitchen Radio #480: Miniature American Flags For All

June 30, 11am

Question the Authority HERE
Listen into all my shows here!

Standing in the newly painted Radio Valencia studio really fills me with pride, and inspires me to put on a quality show for you all. That’s not saying the other weeks were phoned in, it just feels like I walked into a brand new studio and I’m really jazzed about it. 

Radio Valencia is a collection of jocks who have come together to play our favorite music for you. Some of us have been at this radio game a few decades now. RV has been going strong-ish since 2010. Having a storefront location this last year has been a huge boon for us, and we’re now in a position to make the most of it; hence the facelift. Big thanks to the Tuesday night crew, Culturefest’s Lilly and Joe. These two really went all out. When I walked in Monday night I could have sworn the studio was actually bigger than before!

Sunday Streets on Valencia is July 10th. If you’re in the area drop by and check out the studio. We’re at 3227 22nd Street, between Mission and Valencia, next door to Make Out Room.

Tonight’s show had a lot of emotion throughout it. New music from Emily Clark and Fanstastic Negrito. There’s a 45th anniversary expanded edition Bob Marley, and a build up to this weekend’s Mosswood Meltdown in the second hour. And George Carlin speaks about a timely issue beyond the grave.

How do I pack so much in? You’ll just have to tune in Monday’s 8-10PM PDST and find out.

Enjoy and please share.
