I’ll be doing a short and sweet 1-hour show today, but daaaamn, it’s gonna be a doozy. Most of the the hour will be dedicated to some lesser-known Black Metal wizards, then we’ll wrap it up with some San Francisco metal heavyweights. Tune in 1:00-2:00 PST.
Guess what. I started on time today!
I played a few gems on this afternoon’s show, comprised of new-and-completely-made-up genres such as Pirate Metal (Swashbuckle), Fairy Tale Metal (Green Jelly’s “Three Little Pigs”), and Gee-I-Wish-It-Was-Still-1982 Metal (White Wizzard and Manowar). It was boss!

After three very sad, metal-free weeks, The Metal Asylum back on air! It felt great to be in the RV studio again—headbanging with headphones while sipping bitter coffee to stay warm (man, it’s COLD in there!). Highlights of the show were: a) free bottle of Radio Valencia wine from Chicken John, and b) a gift of Hank Williams III on vinyl from Christopher. I totally scored today.

Great show today, with a few special requests and dedications peppered throughout. I love requests, so keep ’em coming, y’all.
Highlights of the show:
* Robo DJ’s intrusion of “You’re the One That I Want” (from the Grease Soundtrack) at 1:28:25.
* My dad listening in and giving me a lesson via Skype on “real” heavy metals (i.e., argentum, aurum, ferrum).
* My first request via Radio Valencia’s homepage chatroom.
Here’s the playlist:

Howdy metalheads!
Today I had some, um, issues with the mic (this was remedied at the very end of the show as Chicken John shed light onto the elusive “gain” knob).
Nonetheless, I played a line-up of some kick-ass metal (that’s all that matters, right?), and ended the show with 54 minutes of vintage tracks. We spanned twenty years: from the dawn of metal in 1971 with Uriah Heep’s “Bird of Prey,” through 1991 with Soundarden’s epic “Jesus Christ Pose.”
