"This is the Beastie Boys?" That's what I said when I first heard this album. Sounds absolutely nothing like and of their previous albums. All instrumental funky goodness. Some really great tracks, "In 3's" and "Transitions" being some of my favs.

Otherwise it s a pretty mellow show, cuz that's what struck my ears this week. There's even a full on organ track by P.A. Hulsenbeck, not to mention other great stuff by Kathleen Grace, Larry Goldings, Filter, Mr. Bison and Quist. Enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Played side two of Queensryche's amazing album Operation Mindcrime, which seemed fitting considering our corrupt, draft dodging Nazi in the Whitehouse declared victory in an election he lost, badly. Also got around to some Soul Coughing, the new Jello Bifra release, Lexsoul Dancemachine, and plenty of freeform, which means I had to play a fitting Rush song, and some Bad Religion. Enjoy, and thanks for listening.

Eddie Van Halen, what a staggering loss. No words can ever articulate what a truly phenomenal player he was, nor his contribution to rock music. Thus, I played a lot of his tunes, and some others that are related. There's no doubt that he permanently changed guitar playing and music. It's hard to believe that the first Van Halen album was released in 1978; it's so far ahead of its time. Such a sad day for music and musicians everywhere :(

I also played a few new tracks by Snarky Puppy, Budos Band, Zakk Sabbath, Mike Viola, Bleson Roy, and some other genre-free stuff.

I hope you enjoy this show as much as I did, and thank you for listening.

Played "side one" of this terrific album from a band in Landers (where?) California.

So I dug up a little known demo by Alex Skolnick called the Skol Patrol, a police theme inspired project that unfortunately didn't get much attention. I was fortunate enough to meet Alex and take lessons from him when I lived in Berkeley in the 90's, when this demo was recorded. Alex is a very cool guy. We still talk once in a blue moon. It 's nice that being so accomplished has not gone to his head, as it does for some folks. Speaking of accomplished, the rest of the band is amazing too:

Les Harris on Sax
Michael Manring on Bass
Dustin Cunningham on Drums
Naomi True on Percussion

Anyway, Skolpatrol starts at 1:09 or so.

Started the show with some "Fuck 2020" tunes (cuz right?), and proceeded in the usual genre-free fashion. Enjoy, and thanks for listening!

(FYI, for some reason this podcast is a bit high on the treble, so adjust EQ accordingly. The joys of doing radio remotely from one's couch, I guess.)

Fire Down Below's album Hymn Of The Cosmic Man is featured on the Veranda tonight. We get a lot of metal submitted to Radio Valencia, much of which sounds like the Cookie Monster on Steroids, which is to say, not in my taste. This however is a real gem, harmonically complex, well produced, and with some really great playing; dare I say emotionally charged as well? I do! This album fucking rocks \m/ Thanks for sending it! Can't wait for your next release!

I also played some new funk, punk, and some older classic tracks. I do love me some Kenny Rogers. Forgot what a great story teller his songs are. Thanks for listening!

Dug up a long forgotten but great album from the 80's. Funny how some great music that still sounds fresh and not dated can yet fall through the cracks of history. This is definitely one of those albums. Otherwise, played a mish mash of random tunes. Enjoy!

Featured Side Two of Schizophonic on the Veranda. Such a great album by Nuno, AKA Nuno Bettencourt, formerly of the band Extreme. Such a killer guitarist and songwriter. Sadly, that album never really got the praise it deserved when released in 1995. Of note, he played all the instruments on the album. Pretty killer.

Also threw in a poem. Wish I could find more passionate readings of poetry. My mic stopped working at around 1:45 AM, so you won't hear me talk after that. Thanks for chillin' on the Veranda.

The Head Crusher. Head crushingly great tunes by Knightress M1, Hammerstone, BAITS, Hibbs Family Band, and Bahama Social Club! Also, started doing something on the show that I meant to start pre Covid, playing one side of an album. Why? Because songs sound better when contrasted with other songs in a artfully modulated set, and because they don't do it on the radio anymore. I think Uncle Joe Benson's show on KLOS in L.A. was probably the last surviving show that featured albums. I used to listen to it every Sunday night as a kid. The other reason is sometimes there's just not enough good submissions to make a two hour show interesting. So featured on this show, The Gray Race by Bad Religion.

There's also a smattering of flamenco, bluegrass, jazz etc on my genre free show. Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Nothing particularly clever to say this week, nor any week really. Really dug the new tunes by Crushed Velvet, Bahama Soul Club, Lucky Brown and the S.G.s, Fawns of Love, Izo Fitzroy, and Speedometer. Dedicated a few tunes to friends having a rough time. Was a fun show, and didn't get cut off right at 2AM by a rerun. Laptop DJing not too bad, IMHO. Enjoy and thanks for listening.

Got my mic working again, so yay, I'm not a total tech Philistine. Started off with some Blues cuz hey, it fits the times. Played a bunch of great new stuff that was submitted; Izo Fitzroy, Rosa Rendl, Fenne Lily, Jenner, Emily Palen, and a beautiful yet sinister track by Eartheater called "Below The Clavicle." Took a left turn back to the 80's about midway through, though the song "My Friend Peter" by Whitening is contemporary. Wrapped it up with some more mainstream tunes, and a bit of Jazz by the amazing Annette White and The Sons Of The Beach. I miss jazz at Flanahan's on Sundays, dammit!

So in true radio Valencia style (as of late) this is a show with no Mic Breaks because I couldn't get my Mic to work, again. This Live Remote stuff is fun, but still a work in progress. I'm learning way more than I ever wanted about USB drivers, software conflicts, blah blah blah. So you'll hear theme music and low volumes at times, so just imagine me saying something DJ like. It's a bummer because I want to give props to the artists. Sorry to all the artist this week. I swear I'll get this figured out, probably by the time we move into our new studio and I won't need it anymore. Such are the times.

Happy Birthday to Jamie and Dave! Played some tunes for ya!

I have a bunch of friends who all share birthdays this week. They used to have individual parties, but the someone had the bright idea, "Hey, instead of being hungover all week, why don't we just have one big party!" Well, since there's no parties, I played a bunch of songs for them. So Happy Birthday Katie, Lee, Dean, Michael and Terence! Miss you guys!

Also played some newer funk that was submitted to the station.

Apologies for the low vocal volume. Not sure what caused that. We're still ironing out the wonkiness of live remotes. There's a few cutouts too, and I get knocked off the air at around 00:51, not sure why this continues to be an issue. Anyway, stay safe, and thanks for listening.

Another week of missing my faders, and crouched on my couch over my laptop. Things could be worse I guess. Played a set for my good friend, and lovely human being, Pat Byers, and there's a haunting version of Silent Night that just fits these so silent nights we're having. Leaned more towards jazz this time around, but there's a Rush song in there too. Enjoy, or not.
