Well that was fun. Did you have fun too? No? Then you need to listen to this show again.
I may need to bring back the “set of the week”. I am always interested in knowing what you’re listening to? What should I be listening to? Turn me on! I don’t use Spotify, but I am always happy to go in search of good music.
Are you an artist looking to get played? Send me your music and I’ll give it a listen. mrjohnhell@gmail.com
This show has plenty of gems to entertain the most cynical of you all. Most of this recent show sits in the punk and blues genres, but I throw a few other nibblets in there for good measure. Is “nibblet” even a word? It’s coming up with the red dashed lines under it, indicating that I have just made up a new word! Good for me!
At this point I’m just filling space. Go away now and enjoy two hours of music you didn’t know you needed.
Enjoy.

Well this is embarrassing. I should have had this up for you days ago. I really have no excuse. It’s not like I go anywhere. I don’t commute anymore. I don’t go see people. I don’t go to shows, or out to restaurants, or even for many walks. I’m mostly in front of this damnable machine for too many hours a day. Maybe that’s why it didn’t get done: the lack of motivation?
Maybe.
I love hosting my show every week. I would host a daily show if I had the time to do so. Work and family does take precedent, don’t ya know.
But for Monday night I’m all yours. So what do you want to do with me? I’m a glutton for your punishment.
Here’s what I have for you.
Enjoy.

If this show had legs it would have found a few dozen dance moves to throw down. It doesn’t have this ability, but don’t let that stop you from getting down. Black History Month or not, every one of these artists deserves every award they have won, and many more they hadn’t. You have no excuse but to strap in for a real good time.
And do not even get me started about the bullshit that is out there, coming from racist white assholes about the need for a White History Month. EVERY MONTH IS WHITE HISTORY MONTH!!!! For Christ’s sake, the entire history of our nation has been written by white people. Blacks get the shortest month of the year. February was chosen because of the birthdays of both Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. I get it, I get it. But until we make serious amends with our original sin, this country will never heal. I’m a proponent of paying reparations to Blacks who can show they are direct decedents of slaves. I also believe we need to do the same to Indigenous Americans. Hitler and the Nazi’s learned how to control their population based on our treatment of native tribes and Jim Crow laws, post Civil War.
We have a lot of work to do.
The second hour has a Bob Marley birthday set. He would have celebrated 76 years last week. Any excuse to play more Bob Marley.
In the meantime, enjoy these two hours. Many genres, all great music.
Enjoy.

What will you do now that the orange cheeto has fallen from grace? I wouldn’t bet him out. He loves a good comeback. Will the next season be worth watching? Stay tuned.
In the meantime, take a look at this juicy set I have just for you and yours. There’s something here for just about every member of the family. You got your blues for the teens. Stoner metal for grandma. Sexy vocal stylings for your overweight stinky uncle who’s missing teeth and hair. There’s funk for white neighbor who swears he was Black in a previous life. And anything else that dad enjoys. For mom there’s plenty of polyester dance hits to cover the couch.
We all need a creative outlet to get us through these tough times. What’s yours? Need one? Just look at the contest I’m throwing and participate. Deadline is Friday, February 12th.
