And here it is friends, Radio Free California Episode 2304!
Another busy week for new music, from long-standing artists like Metallica and Jethro Tull to indies like AmaltheuS, MOULE, Benjamin Russell with Rob Stuart, Softcult, The Nude Party and much more. Enjoy!
Martina Dorner is a German artist and music critic who puts together great little playlists of indie artists in her spare time.
I made the cut this week.
I search out new music all the time. But I have to tell you, if the first lyric I hear is "Yeah" or "Uh!" I'm just gonna move on.
As promised, here is my blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2303.
No real ranting today. I stayed away from the news. ^_^
Okay my friends, here it is! Radio Free California Episode 2303. The logjam has broken and we have a TON of new music. New tracks from Everything but the Girl, PIL, Prophets of Rage, Fear 2 Stop, The Subways, Billy Nomates, Belle and Sebastian, Daughter, U.S. Girls, New Town, Babebee and much much more. 50 songs over nearly 3 hours. Enjoy!
My ranty blog version will be up later, although I won't be ranting much. It's a day off for me.
The logjam has broken and we have a TON of new music. Tomorrow's Radio Free California will be almost 3 hours of brand new music. 50 songs!
People, please. Speaking as someone who played with the man ONCE, over 40 years ago (I'm sure he forgot me within a week).
Stop posting "tribute to Jeff Beck" videos by playing guitar yourself. Jeff Beck you ain't. There's plenty of his material out there. Repost that.
Yeah, I'm cranky, but I'm also a guitarist and I wouldn't dare try.
Finally!!!!
Unless you've been through this yourself you can have no idea just how paralyzing not owning your own work can be. I couldn't work for nearly 4 years when it happened to me. What happened to Fogarty is one of the worst examples in history.
Congrats John Fogarty on finally getting your work back!
Sometimes the most frustrating thing about my music career at this age is having people between 1/3 and 1/2 my age treat me like a newbie.
I've been signed twice my friends - didn't enjoy it either time. I don't need any fucking career advice from people who really haven't had careers just yet.
Sorry. Had to vent.
And here it is, Radio Free California Episode 2302!
Week 2 for 2023 and we have new music from Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders (aka me), Kiffie, Peter Gabriel, The Winery Dogs, Quiet Houses, Somebody's Child, lovelytheband, All Them Witches and much more. Enjoy!
I really need to stop procrastinating on this drum track. The sound of the snare drum just isn't working and I need to hunt down a solution...
Snoop "out-Gangstered" by Dionne Warwick.
Truth #CoSoMusic
I originally wrote this song inspired by the dance group World Order. I'd love it if they performed to it, but I'm not expecting it.
I'm normally an indie rocker - stepping into dance music is definitely outside my comfort zone.
It's on iTunes now.
