Another Monday, another chance to get into your pants. That's if your pants are your ears. See what I did there? I was trying to do a rhyme thing. It didn't work. I could have just deleted this, but for some reason I'm still typing. Still. Not stopping.

In other news, Daniel (AKA: DJ Copper Stripper) takes over the decks in the second hour in preparation of filling in for me next Monday night. I know you're going to dig that.

If you've been tuning in since March you've heard Daniel join me every week, bringing in records I never would have looked for while crate digging. And that's a good thing!

After all, this is why you tune into uncensored, non-commercial, community radio: to hear music curated from DJs who live their lives looking for the next tune to turn you on. We really enjoy turning you on at Radio Valencia.

New music from Death Valley Girls, Jack White, Hex Pest and Die Spitz tonight, and a lot of music that's new to you...and me!

OK, I'm going to go figure out what it was I was actually going to post on here tonight instead of saying rhymes that I come up off the top of my head. I just aim to please.

Enjoy and please share.

Rock out, you fools!

That was the plan tonight. Don't have a plan. Just gather what you think you need and fly. That's a good strategy, dontcha think? It works for me most of the time.

The most planning I do for my show is pulling music I've purchased recently and coupling that with artists from my library that have been running through my head, or I feel will pair nicely with what I've already got ready to go.

I also know that Daniel is going to bring in his share of treats that will get a spin. He even surprised me with a 7" box set of noise that I didn't know I needed. Thanks Daniel!

There was one scheduled interview for Monday night. I had Kevin Seal coming in to talk about the upcoming Seal Party show at the Rickshaw Stop on Friday, August 14th.

Then the Icelanders walked by.

Daniel and I were talking about something nonsensical, and I made some comment about "fools" just as three people were walking by the open door (the Radio Valencia studios are street level). They looked at me and I waved them in. That's how we came to have three young Icelanders in the studio, and I put them on mic. 

Impromptu interviews happen, so I was just happy to gice these kids their first taste of being on the radio, and while they're visiting the states!!!

Music from six decades all packed into two hours. How do we do it?!?!?!?

Enjoy and please share.
