Played a Clavinet for the first time in years for a recording session today.

Yes, it was funky.

An English artist I respect named Mike Five has challenged a few of us on the fringes to write and record an EP in the month of May.

I think I'm going to do it.

The new Metallica album is here and featured this week, along with The Linda Lindas, Temples, Magaziine, Geoff Castellucci, GoGo Penguin, The Tallest Man on Earth, Fruit Bats and much more. Enjoy!

There is a podcast version this week too, including the tale of how I met one of this week's artists because I was invited to an event at Patreon's office in San Francisco - because he's the CEO.

Lord help me I actually like some of Fall Out Boy's new album.

Okay, the new Nickel Creek album is awfully damned good.

Holy crap.

My band and I got FIVE (5) nominations for the Radio Music Awards.

FIVE!!!!!!!!!

Radio Free California Podcast, Episode 2312.

It's the same playlist, but I've added notes about the artists and the songs, how I found them and some personal information about the artists. It isn't much more, but it can give you some insight as to how I put these playlists together. It plays in the Spotify App. I'm not saying I'm going to keep doing these or do them every time, but I wanted to at least try it out.

Next Radio Free California and accompanying Podcast are ready to go.

Out Monday.

New music from the guy who once played bass for Frank Zappa.

Winger. Seriously. No kidding.
