There was a bit of a different feel to this week’s show on Radio Valencia. The new tracks that came my way featured some old-school-funk, new-school hip-hop, drum & bass, jungle, trip-hop, and some ‘electronica.’ Then we got into some straight-up funk in the second hour. So this week was a bit “groovier” than normal. Check it out!

Daylight Saving Time began or ended or whichever one makes you lose an hour of sleep, and Malderor was pretty grumpy about it.  That, coupled with the fact he had to work Saturday, instead of preparing for the show, means there was a lot of cursing and fewer new-releases than normal. But, it was an entertaining chunk of rock & roll anyway, and Malderor’s Cracked-Out-Raver-Niece pops up for a show review. Plus DJ Deathwish was on-time! Stream it now!

Last week’s show was typically wide-ranging, covering everything from local psych acts like Spiral Electric and Peacers, through to local hip-hop from the Stunna Boys.  Plus the occasional protest song, and some punk rock 45s.  Malderor was training the new folks from the Sheesh Radio show, Deathwish was onhand to sample a new flavor of Cutty Bang, and then for some reason we got into the morality of punching Nazis.  Freeform radio at its finest.

In the first hour of today’s show we feature a bunch of bands that are playing Thursday at the Bottom of the Hill, for a fundraiser to help offset the costs of Annie Southworth’s cancer treatments. Annie is a beloved local pillar of the music scene, and folks are turning out to help her with her (insane) medical bills, which are going to get much worse now given the gutting of the ACA and her obvious “pre-existing condition.” But there are some great bands playing; The Dodos, Peacer, and Sarah Bethe Nelson. In the second hour we get into some tracks from the soon-to-be-released soundtrack to Trainspotting 2. And I bought Deathwish another Cutty Bang, so download the podcast to hear how that turns out!  (Oh, and almost all of Cheap Hooch turned up early to try to derail my show with their over-the-top partying!  It’s a wild-one!)

Today was the beginning of Rainpocalypse 2017 or something, and it was pouring down buckets as Malderor made his way to the station. He prepared a slate of mopey, droney, shoegaze-y psych-rock, and he’s joined in the studio by DJ Deathwish, who is slightly worse-for-wear.  Malderor stopped and bought Deathwish a “Cutty Bang” from a nearby ghetto liquor store, and a radio show ensues.  (In the last hour we get away from the psych a bit, and play a bunch of goofy covers. Stay tuned for that!)

A whole bunch of folks asked me if I was doing my show on New Year’s Day. Of course I was. If I’m going to be hungover and moping around playing records, I may as well be doing it live on the internet radio waves. I didn’t have much planned, aside from playing a bunch of tracks off recent vinyl purchases. Deathwish and CW and 5/7ths of Cheap Hooch dropped in. I played new-and-old tracks from Prince, Singers & Players, Junkyard, Mott the Hoople, and went off in a random gospel direction! Check out the stream below!

Dr. Junk was in town from the Dominican Republic, but he was “too sick” to do radio. But Bartender Mike from the Gas Head visits again, as does Deathwish, and Malderor is training some new DJs and it’s just all a big ol’ party.  It trended a bit “Americana” today, for some reason.

Richard ESB was back on the show, and we were both depressed about the state of the world and the Oakland fire, but we tried to put on an upbeat show.  (We may or may not have succeeded there.)  Cheap Hooch was out this week, so we ran a little overtime, perhaps getting less upbeat as we went along.  Enjoy!
