This was a somewhat unusual episode. Malderor had watched a new Keith Richards documentary, (directed by his Academy-Award-winning-friend™, Morgan Neville) so the playlist has some of the old blues standards featured in the film. Then there’s some focus on the new Killing Joke release, and an inexplicable detour into comedy novelty songs.  (Some of which, but not all, were by request. Normally Malderor hates comedy music, but here we are.)  Check it out below:

2:03pm: Holy War by The Lords Of The New Church

2:06pm: Never by JennyLee

2:09pm: Apotheosis by Killing Joke

2:22pm: Ain’t Gonna Take It Anymore by Whitey Morgan

3:48pm: Me And The Whiskey by Whitey Morgan

3:58pm: Snakedance (Youth Rattlesnake Dub Mix) by Killing Joke

Malderor had basically zero time this week to prepare for the show, so we don’t have the usual complement of new music. Instead you can expect a show chock-full of old-school punk rock, some cuts from the Supersucker’s new country record, and some stoner metal from some band Malderor met last night at the Golden Bull in Oakland called “Them Evils.” DJ Deathwish does turn up to help out with the mid-song banter, and the show turned out better than one might expect. Check it out!

2:07pm: You Sound Like You’re Sick by The Ramones

2:07pm: Cold Black Love by Them Evils

2:09pm: All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down) by The Supersuckers

3:44pm: Static Space by Beatcreatures

3:48pm: Ice Ice Baby by Big Daddy

3:50pm: She Floated Away by Husker Du

3:55pm: If Ever I Stray by Frank Turner

3:58pm: Trouble On Oxford Street by Skinny Lister

In a rare stab at actual “journalism”, Malderor welcomes City College Board candidate Tom Temprano to the Radio Valencia studios, for a wide-ranging chat.  They talk about City College, obviously, but also get into Tom’s background as co-owner of Virgil’s Sea Room and as a DJ at spectacularly popular local party “Hard French” at the El Rio.  And then the second hour of the show is all the new and unreleased music you’ve come to expect on the ‘Catastrophe, with added guests Uncle Kevin and DJ Deathwish.  (Apologies to the regular listeners, but I straight-up forgot to do the Bad Religion SAT word-of-the-week this time around.)

After a month of vacations, both planned and unplanned, we’re back on the air with Malderor’s Curated Catastrophe. This week we’ve got your regular slew of new releases, a stack of “pogo-punk” Japanese 45s, and some no-show guests from SF’s underground theater scene!

2:44pm: Who Sent You? by Broken Hands

2:47pm: Mittens by Frank Turner

2:49pm: Malderor stumbles through another show without Dr. Junk to prop him up. Only able to continue because he knows you can’t hear the sobbing when the mic isn’t live.

Malderor was training a new DJ. DJ Emils, on the use of the Radio Valencia studio and “wheels-of-steel.” As such, this episode is a bit bipolar, as Malderor’s sets focused on an upcoming psychedelic rock festival (“The Gathering Of The Tribes”) coming to Mighty. And DJ Emils played some of the classic disco and house that she’s going to play on her new show, Thursdays from 6-8pm. Check it out!

It was sweltering in the Mission, and Malderor decided to do a weird, difficult-to-describe theme. Since the show is almost entirely new music on a normal week, there are literally thousands of songs that Malderor played once on his show, then relegated to the dustbin of history. So this week he’s playing stuff he played once, then filed away and forgot about. Features a surprising amount of covers, and some bands that went on to go multi-platinum.

Oh, and some fine individual unplugged the phone from the already-delicate phone-system, so Malderor’s attempts to contact the outside world met with frustration and failure.

Malderor and a couple of trusty sidekicks, R Bar Ed and Magic Kelvin, covered for Rachel MaxMix, who was on assignment.  With virtually no preparation, but aided by a bottle of rosé and some Jameson, they managed to concoct two hours of entertaining radio.  (Might be a bit more “mainstream” than a normal episode of the Curated Catastrophe.)

Malderor was up in Manchester, CA, (near Point Arena) for the 4th, but dutifully did his show remotely, from a redwood deck overlooking a lighthouse.

(Malderor sneaks away to watch soccer at this point.)

Malderor (and Bullwinkle and Cheap Hooch) did his show live from the delightful dive bar R Bar, at Sutter and Polk. Since it was a combo-pack of Pride Weekend and a dive-bar gig, the set ricochets between songs about rainbows and Motorhead. (We had a LOT of requests for Motorhead.) This is Malderor’s two-hour slice of the afternoon, but Radio Valencia was broadcasting live from noon to 6pm.
