Today, for the first time in a while now, I listened to the full album "Gish" by Smashing Pumpkins.

I hadn't forgotten, but man what a good record that is.

Now available at most of the usual places, a new version of my EP "Hatey" with a bonus track - the cleaned up version of "Woke AF" better known as "Woke AF Minus F".

This is the Amazon link.

As promised, here is a link to my blog for this week's version of Radio Free California: Episode 2426. It contains the usual playlist plus the extra song that's not on Spotify, special programming notes as this Thursday will be run differently than we usually do it (4 albums on the album show this week!), cheap shots at the political stories of the day, and more. Enjoy!

I have been a fan of bassist Endea Williams for a while now; the's the bassist in Louis Cato's band on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. I've watched her play her heart out and keep up with the best of them.

So today I finally went looking for any mosuc she's relesed on her own, and lo and behold there's one fantastic jazz album out there, called "Feel Good Music". She has of course guested on many albums, but this one is so worth a listen.

I really didn't appreciate the bass part until I saw it live.

Lake Street Dive from last night's episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert...

Really looking forward to this album.

Holy carp this is impressive. Celebrating , this is Kings Return, whom I had never heard of before 10 minutes ago. with an astonishing a capella rendition of "After the Love has Gone"

Musically speaking, I can honestly say I did not see this coming. The video ain't much but the song...

Oh man, the SONG! I missed this one completely.

Willow, "Symptom Of Life"

Airbag, the Norwegian prog-rock band, has dropped a new album called "The Century of the Self" and it is a wonderfully restrained and melodic album full of wonderful songwriting and performing. Definately worth a listen on the platform of your choice.

While the Fake AI is more than a little distracting this new song from Wishy is pretty damned good.

Wishy - "Triple Seven"

After first hearing this my reaction was "Hey, it's almost a song!"

Pop songs are too damned short these days. The Tik Tok effect.

Still, I share. 311 with "You're Gonna Get It". Will not be featured on my radio station. Like I said, it's almost a whole song. Let's see if there's an album version.

New Music from Los Lonely Boys.

"Wish You Would"

I have seen them live, and they are amazing.
