When's the last time you had a friend over to play guitar in your home? Hmmm? You can't recall because it's been two years of this COVID shit and no one is coming by your house, apartment, condo, storage locker, etc. even though you have been vaxxed since last spring. You really need to get the booster, you know?

Monday night I hosted my buddy Douglas Nelson, who brought his guitar and two jugs of Moss Beach Kobmucha, of which he's the founder and owner. I have never in my life enjoyed kombucha before I tried his stuff. Mind you, this is not a commercial and we didn't even talk much about the product during my show, but I would be remiss if I didn't say something about it. Good man, good kombucha.

Now that the holidays are upon us, I find that I really enjoy getting guests on the air talking about this past

year and what they have coming up. I have no guests in my upcoming show, but Steve Depace of Flipper will be on Monday, December 27th, and I have a bunch of really great interviews lined up for 2022.

What are your plans for New Years Eve? Whatever they are, I want you to get your booster shot. This Omicron variant is no joke. We need to get this thing gone, and the only way to do that is to get vaxxed, boosted and wear your damn mask! Once you get that done, join Radio Valencia at Bottom of the Hill, December 30th and 31st. I'll be your MC, and we'll have a table of freshly printed RV t-shirts for you to grab. 

Enjoy.

Now that the RNC is over we all need a really good cleanse. That's where I come in. Hell is good for what ails ya. Really though, what can I say that the pundits haven't already said about the shit-show that was the RNC week long mouth diarrhea? Blech!

And now comes the race to the finish line. I picture Trump and Biden running through a grocery store, Trump ahead, and throwing items off a shelf to block Biden from catching up. He throws down old ladies, and shopping carts to move farther ahead of Biden. And Biden finds some way to keep the pace. He's not leaping over any of this though. Biden is pushing the old lady aside so he can catch up to Trump. Biden grabs a chilled salmon and slaps Trump in the face before shoving him into the salad bar.

Who will make it to the finish line first? And in what shape will they be in when they arrive there? How many condiments will their pressed suits be covered in?  And will Dr. Jill and Melania be wrestling nearby? What about Mamala and Mothers-Little-Boy?

And what about the rest of us? November 3rd is only a little over nine weeks away. Are you registered? Get registered! Get your ballot, fill it out, and get it in the mail, ASAP! Or maybe drop it off at city hall? Anyway you choose, VOTE as if your life depends on it, because voting is not only patriotic, it's how we remind those who govern, that they only get to do so because we allow them to. Don't let them take that from us.

Back to the music.

Brand new song from my favorite local post-metal-power-trio, KnightressM1. I thought the last release was good (and it is), but "Lock and Key" is blowing my mind!!! These are three amazing musicians playing at the top of their game. The musicianship is professional, the sound is driving and pulsating, and the production is second to none. Damn, I want to see them live!

I was sent a track by my buddy, musician and producer Travis Kaperbauer, featuring himself and a few friends over at Lucky Recording, with a delightful little diddy: "I Fucked A Republican". I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

There are lots of treats throughout this show, I'm certain you'll find a way to enjoy.

In the meantime, get ready to VOTE!!!

Enjoy.
