6/23/06 Show - Northern California

San Francisco, home to hippies, punks, creeps, weirdoes, the abstract concepts of love & time - all things shot by Charles Bronson in the Deathwish film franchise. Coincidence? Yes but what's not a coincidence is all of the music to come out of San Francisco and the rest of Northern California over the years. This area may not have produced as many classic bands as say, New York and LA, but San Francisco still remains an interesting footnote* in rock history.

* San Francisco (interesting footnote)

Anyway, enough of my footnotes and bibliographies, here is a link to the mp3 of my show. I haven't been able to paste it as hypertext for the last few weeks but let's see if I can do it now:

6/16/06 Show - Drugs

Music has always been like a drug to me. But what's even more like a drug, are drugs. Then when you combine drugs and music, it's like bacon to all of us. And there are no shortage of musicians that have made so much bacon, they have to share their love of drugs through the majesty of song. So this show was all about songs that were all about drugs.

6/9 Show - Scotland

Scotland. Alba. Albion. Old...Kiltie. On this night, I played nothing but music to come out of Scotland and as I drunkenly attempted to mention, it is amazing how many really solid bands are from there. I mean, it's about the size of Maine. Although maybe Maine's bigger than I think it is. Like all goodhearted people, I have never been to the state of Maine. But I'm pretty sure that absolutely zero good bands have come out of that place. I don't even think they have music in Maine.

Anyway, dig in, roll up your sleeves, and enjoy a thick, hot, juicy mp3, courtesy of these weird numbers and letters that look like gibberish but are, in fact, a link to the show:

No 6/2 Show

I was out of town on a business trip this last Friday. Because I'm a business man. With cards and everything. A real jerk.

I'll be back on 6/9/06 though. The theme, I think, is Scotland. A lot of good stuff has come out of Scotland and luckily, pretty much all of it is music.
