A Season in Hell #162: Shareef Ali Says Hi

It's always so much fun hosting local talent. And when the local talent is one who keeps improving on his craft, then it's even more fun to have them back again and again. Tonight Shareef Ali
is back in the Season in Hell studio to share music from his upcoming release "A Place to Remember the Dead". Check it out.

A Season in Hell #133: International Playboy

A rare night without any guests. You know what that means, more music for you. Tonight, unbeknownst to me, I brought a bunch of local artists. The first hour is full of great local sounds from the past 20 years or so. And yes, I consider the Melvins a local band.

The second hour is mostly live, as I've received so many great live shows lately , I just had to do my duty and share some goodness with you all.

This Friday, May 3rd, is the annual James Brown birthday celebration, during the annual KFJC Month of Mayhem, known as "Doin' it to Death". It's a 24 hour party, that I'll be co-hosting. I do my own slot from 6-10PM (PDST). Tune in and get ready to get down...and get back up again.

After the KFJC party, I'm heading over to the Radio Valencia studios for a live, in-studio Ask Dr Hal show and RV fundraiser. If you're around, you should come down. It's a great way to experience live radio. We're going from 11-1AM.

Next Monday, May 6th, on A Season in Hell, my buddy, and writer/editor for So What, the official fanzine of Metallica, Steffan Chirazi, will be in the studio with me paying "homage" to the passing of the late (not so great) Margaret Thatcher. We'll be playing some of her favorite music from that era, along with some tributes to her old golfing partner, Ronald Reagan.

This should be a hoot!

In the meantime, kick back, chill out and enjoy two fabulous hours from Monday night.

A Season in Hell #102: Last Chance for Love

Well, here it is, the last night at Chez Poulet, our home for the first two years of Radio Valencia. Talk about punk rock! I'd like to thank Chicken John for his "hospitality". When he came to me two years asking if I would start a radio station here I told him as long as it didn't become "Radio Chicken". So, we're moving. I wonder why? Really though, we've just outgrown the space. All the best to Chicken and all of his endeavors. In the memorable words of the late, great Don Corleone "as long as your business doesn't conflict with mine".

For my last show until my next show next week at our new home, I thought I would do what I like to do best, play lots of new kick ass music in the first hour, and some slammin' tracks in the second, along with some priceless live cuts. Check out the playlist, below.

Here we go again for the last time.
