After a masked-up smokey week, it finally rained tonight! San Francisco air was worse than Beijing; we actually had the worst air quality in the entire world for a few days. Not that this really has anything to do with my show. Just tried to keep the flow going. Enjoy!

Due to technical difficulties, there's a lack of background music, so my voice is even more boring, kinda like...a cowbell! Started a new segment on the show dedicated to that deeply expressive and articulate instrument. We'll be exploring some quarter note clanking (or is it clunking?) on every episode going forward, or until I run out of songs, get bored, or can't take it anymore.

Cowbell, the Chinese Water Torture of rock music.

Had a great birthday weekend so I wasn't as prepared, but it was fun to freeform anyway. Worked out well because I got a song from the amazing Knightress M1 (playing this Saturday at 2PM, 45th and Noreiga, go see them!) Talked about Millenials voting, Taylor Swift, and the Nazi in the Whitehouse, among other things. Played a Doug Stanhope bit too. Enjoy!

First show so guess what? Nothing went wrong, aside from the patchbay being half unplugged, prompting several strange fades at the beginning. The first 5 min is kinda comical, with the following ten being a little better. The rest of was smooth sailing. Played some dub, blues, flamenco, jazz, rock, soul etc., not in that order. Thanks to everyone who tuned in and offered encouragement via the chatterbox. Much appreciated!

Thanks to Malderor, Deathwish, and Cheap Hooch for getting me going. Cheers!
