"We're half awake in a fake empire"
The National.
Love that 4 versus 3 on the piano.
I have never seen a larger collection of Rich White Guys failing upwards than what we're getting in this new administration.
I really hate that Cheeto McPoopypants is going to take the credit for this.

Despite this album cover, the band Semantics does not sound like a bad metal band or like Meat Loaf. I'd call them much closer to The Goo Goo Dolls.
It's a good album.

As promised, here is the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2447. Has the same Spotify playlist, but also notes about my little private radio station and what we're playing this week. No cheap shots. I'm not in the mood anymore.
With the exception of one show, we play nothing but new music at Radio Free California, often from artists you've never heard of but certainly deserve more attention.

And here it is my friends, Radio Free California Episode 2447! New music this week from Linkini Park, Greet Death, The Youniverse, Semantica, Blackberry Smoke, Silverlites, Negative, Hana Lili, The Sixsters, Painted Vein, King Stingray, Du Blonde and much more. Enjoy!
As per usual, my blog version will be up later today.
I was never really a fan of Linkin Park in their original heydey, when Chester was alive. I didn't find them offensive or anything, it just wasn't for me. Chester's death was a gut punch though.
But their new album, with their new singer, is pretty damned good. I especially like the song "Two Faced", which is the current single, but the whole album is worth the time.
I like this new incarnation of Linkin Park better than the old one.
Happy B'day to CoSo!
I haven't been here for all 7 years, but I have been around long enough to get the golden checkmark. I've never regretted making the move.
Thanks to everyone for the support over the past few years, and thanks to @th3j35t3r for putting this place together.
2025 is going to suck, but it can also be amazing for those of us fighting against the tide.

@Hobyrim Louis Cole fan, eh??
This is so worth the hour it takes to watch.
Luois Cole, "nothing" full album, live.
🤣
1. Great work Grampa! Neat solo at 0:30!
2. How good is it to dig into where it all comes from and figure out new ways to do it? The best! 😊

Um wow......
Lots of reissues and crap out this week but in the far corner is St. Vincent - releasing her album All Born Screaming, which came out a few weeks back, but in Spanish.
"Todos Nacen Sritando"
What the hell. I'm re-running this past Sunday's 10 at 10 right...
NOW.
I will never understand why The Connells never broke huge.

At long last, a small bit of good news.
