Dr. Junk was out shopping for a car or something, so Malderor had his friend Mully come in to play some tunes and talk about all the rock & roll the kids listen to today. Then Cheap Hooch decided they had "overindulged", so we ran overtime by two hours, and Netzard came in to play some tunes. Features brand new tracks from Japandroids, Guile, Hot Lunch, and many more, as well as a vintage interview with the Jesus & Mary Chain from back when they didn't suck.

Dr. Junk assured us he was unavailable this week, and then turned up to drink martinis with Malderor and the late-appearing Bishop. We played a lot of new music. It was awesome.

Features tracks from The Vir, The Famous (a Misfits cover), Trelawny's Army, and A Place To Bury Strangers. Oh, and some hyphy-act from the East Bay called The Stunna Boys, who randomly gave me their CD on a BART platform. This is freeform radio at its finest.

Malderor got called in to work, leaving Dr. Junk to handle the station on his own this week. I'm sure he played a varied and eclectic mix of music, but I haven't downloaded it yet to find out. (Actually, I expect he played a lot of "accessible" Live 105/KFOG-friendly quasi-alternative greats that you know like the back of your golldarn hand. Or maybe I don't know Dr. Junk...)

We had in-studio guests Sid Luscious and The Pants, for an enjoyably random foray into the music of the 80s, with lashings of punk rock and promotional items for shows that are coming up this week.

Dr. Junk had his friend "The Sneaky Ferret" on the program, for two hours of pirate radio that likely sounds like mainstream "alternative" radio from 1997. (Malderor was out of town at a wedding in scenic New Jersey, and unable to contribute.) When asked if he had any comment for these blog notes, Dr. Junk just said "Just write something that talks about how good I was." So, yeah, this week features less punk rock than normal, and probably a lot more from the Merge Records catalog.

In what might have been the most egregious error in judgment ever, Malderor invited his mother to come be on the radio program this week. Dr. Junk was relatively well behaved, more or less, but we violated the no pre-show martinis rule. And played a bunch of songs with "mother" in the title. So, um, download this. Be entertained.

Dr. Junk was kind of grumpy this week. We also featured new tracks from Grouplove, Lesbian Bed Death, A Place To Bury Strangers, and the Revilers. And some listener requests. And some ranting about Malderor's niece, who made some questionable life choices. We might have run over time, too. Maybe

We're both a bit shattered from being out at the Lost Horizon Night Market or whatever. So this show is oddly all over the place. It's still way better than whatever mainstream radio you were going to tune in today instead. Features tracks from White Lies, Dick Clark, and Operation Ivy, plus many more things you've never heard on the goddamn radio before.

Dr Junk was out of town, so Malderor played host to various musicians. Ezra, bassist from Brooklyn afro-dub band "Super-Hi-Fi", and Mully, guitarist from SF's own "FogDub" both showed up to play some tracks. This episode was sprawling, weird, and a fine example of everything you listen to pirate radio for. We played tunes from both musician's bands, as well as One-Eyed-King, Emily Zuzik, and whatever other weirdness our guests brought. (Dio got a rare Radio Valencia airing.) Also, Chicken John was tearing out the carpet in the studio while we were live on the air, so it was one of the most chaotic episodes ever. Give it a download, won't you?

Dr Junk woke up on the floor of a Las Vegas hotel room, and Malderor wasn't much better off back here in the Bay Area. Still, they managed to get it together to show up in the studio to produce an amazing two hour set of radio about Jesus, zombies, ghosts, and other random bullshit people seem to believe in. Features brand new music from the Easter Parade, the Prodigy, and Joey Ramone (???). And Dr Junk received a gift from a listener.

For this year's April Fool's show, Dr. Junk decided to retaliate for last week's all-Australian episode by playing one artist, exclusively, all show long. So one crappy "parody polka" artist tested everybody's patience, when Dr. Junk's turn came about. For his part, Malderor played a bunch of music that seemed strangely familiar somehow.

Dr. Junk has what Malderor described as "Antipodiphobia", and has some kind of issue with Australia, Australians, and any place that's near Australia. As such, Malderor took this week to play a bunch of music from up-and-coming Australian bands, in order to needle Dr. Junk. The program features cuts from The Saints, The Hoodoo Gurus, and The Distillers, as well as genuinely new music from Dinowalrus, S.C.U.M., and Southern Fried Genocide. This week also saw our chat-room "popping off", with abundant blather from our beloved listeners, on the topics of polyamory and baseball mostly. Check it out.

Malderor was off in Arizona, at some baseball thing, so Dr Junk was on his own to preserve the dignity of the show. He may not have fully succeeded. DJ Dean (The Sneaky Ferret) came along, as did Mr. Jameson. The podcast also includes some of the Cheap Hooch show that is now following our program, to provide continuity.

Irish troubadour Larry Beau visits the program this week, and provides live tunes with accompanying saw and guitar. Also, Malderor and Dr Junk are PHENOMENALLY hungover, having gotten lost in San Jose the night previous. Dr. Junk wanders on over time for a bit, and Malderor plays some songs in honor of Johnny Cash's birthday. Also new music from Unwoman, Pokey LaFarge, and Say Hello To The Angels.

There was a Radio Valencia staff meeting happening while our show was on the air, so this week's episode features lots and lots of people popping into the studio to plug their programs. However, the studio harddrive was full, so we're not actually certain what got recorded. Download it and see!

Dr. Junk was in an even crankier mood than normal, and also failed to alert Malderor about his planned "theme" this week, which was "Songs From Movies". As such, Dr. Junk is the only person working with the theme, and Malderor is scrambling trying to play new music from The Enemy, Drive-By-Truckers, Wiz Khalifa and many more. There is also some bickering about the background music, and some general argument and rudeness.

Malderor was out of town, so Dr. Junk took the reins to do a show focusing on bands that will be playing at the upcoming NoisePop festival. (As well as demonstrating an unhealthy obsession with Malderor's posterior.)

(Note: There is a widget in the broadcast chain that is on the fritz, so the audio levels on this show go up and down at random. Allegedly it's being corrected, but for the purposes of this podcast, you may notice some abnormalities. Or maybe it was just Dr. Junk running the board on his own.)

Dr Junk woke up hungover and so very very alone, and decided to go to the track instead of helping Malderor with his radio programme. Or maybe he was at the Power Exchange 10th Anniversary BBQ and Tea Dance. We don't really know. But Skippy came by, and Malderor had a bunch of French 75s before the show.

While the rest of the world was settling in with chips, dips, and men in spandex, Dr. Junk and Malderor were at their post providing pre-game entertainment. The show featured music from Consolidated, Lords of the Underground, Noi!se, A Place To Bury Strangers, S.C.U.M and many more, as well as suspiciously consistent levels, for once.

Dr. Junk packed it in as far as Sober January was concerned, so he rediscovered his youthful joi de vivre and glib good humor. Malderor was still on the straight-and-narrow, but had some trouble incorporating his new laptop into the sound-board. But the music was solid, and featured new tracks by Asia Argento, Mouthwash, Rasheed Chapell and Whiskerman. And the chatboard was particularly lively.
