Do you ever have days when you just can't get a song out of your head? I have many days like this. Oftentimes it's when my 6-year-old son, Bodhi is singing "The Wreck of the Old 97", but then there are days when I hear a phrase and it leads me right to a song. More often than not I like the song. I heard the best way to get these songs out of your head is to sing it, start to finish. That works when I know all the lyrics, obviously. I prefer my method: share it with you on my show.

I couldn't get "White Girl" from X out of my head all Monday, so it's only fitting that I started my show with it. As usual I did some record shopping recently, so I had to share some fun crate-digging scores. There's the new Shannon and the Clams, which is breathtaking. If you know, you know.

I also have some new Melvins and Oh Sees later in the show. As for new-to-me, I found the GOAT Levitation Sessions, which I'm quickly wearing out from so much play at home. Zig Zags put out a new album full of recently re-recorded classics. I also have some classic San Francisco Punk with Inflatable Boy Clams and Fuck-Ups. Not to be missed!

And continuing with my love for religion (blech) there's some Negativland and Butthole Surfers to bless you.

Something for the entire family, every Monday 8-10PM Pacific.

Enjoy and please share.
