Please note that Weinstein will not become a free man because of what happened in court today.

"He will remain imprisoned because he was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of another rape and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Weinstein was acquitted in Los Angeles on charges involving one of the women who testified in New York."

A retrial is going be be a horror show for his victims. But he's not getting out of prison.

Fuck me I may have to move.

Owner sold the building. Just got the news.

As promised, here is the blog version of Radio Free California, Episode 2417. This includes programming notes for the week for the radio station, my usual cheap shots at the news stories of the day, Why I'm not blogging about THE trial in New York, and a video from the artist that nearly became this week's album show.

Enjoy!

And here it is my friends, Radio Free California Episode 2417. New music this week from Lucy Rose, Pearl Jam, Kaiser Chiefs, Cigarettes After Sex, Newmoon, Bnny, Sloe Noon, Ride, and someone named... let me see... Taylor Something? And much more. Enjoy!

As per usual my blog version will be up later today with radio station notes and more. I just have to decide what I'm going to play on the Album Show.

They are... let's just say... quite the experience. 😉

Dear Eyedress (Idris Ennolandy Vicuña):

Your new album is pretty good but damn whoever did the final mastering is a moron. The entire mix should be at least 10db higher.

Putting any of your songs into a playlist with other artists is going to really showcase how quietly your album was mastered.

I may remaster it myself to play on my radio station. I can't do anything about how it sounds on streaming though.

Mastering matters.

If you know Dune well, you'll probably like part one. Part two is a decent space opera, but Dune it most certainly is NOT.

Part One was pretty good.

Part two is taking some serious detours though.

Seriously, Stilgar said "Trap Door Spiders"?

Marijuana has been legal for a bit now here in California, but I've known people who smoked it for over 50 years now. I don't smoke myself but I have no objections to those who do. Just don't blow the smoke in my face - it's as bad for me as tobacco.

But now that everyone around me (like my neighbors) and the scent is everywhere today, can you all please... PLEASE.. start buying better shit? Can you learn the difference?

When it was illegal the quality mattered more than it seems to now.

So the very first actor whose face you can see is...

Babs Olusanmokun!?!!?!!?!?

I mean Zendaya follows shortly after but that first man with the sniper rifle is Babs Olusanmokun!

<quick look at imbd>

Ah, I get it now. This could be interesting.

I have held off seeing the new Dune Movies until I could watch them both.

I am ready now. I shall begin.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Plus thoughts about the movies.

I was this many days old when I learned that one of my favorite Sumo Wrestlers, Takayasu - a hulking bear of a man - has a beautiful singing voice.

An example at about 4:55 into this video.
