There's a special kind of music you're just not going to hear on commercial radio. Maybe those corporate types are just scared to take a risk? And such an easy risk to take. I guess this is what happens when you purchase your competition and don't feel the need to break new and exciting artists anymore?

The first artist up tonight isn't necessarily new, and she sure has gotten plenty of attention, but mostly from us here non-comm stations.

Joanna Newsom (cousin to our governor) has a very unique delivery with her voice and harp. I have really been drawn into her for the past few months and am excited to share her Austin City Limits set with you from August 1, 2011.

Our headliner tonight is such a treat. The Knitters are the sort-of-Western Swing version of LA's seminal punk band, X. They even cover a few of X's tunes with a bit of a Western style. Gotta love that. I have always enjoyed seeing X live, and seeing The Knitters is always a crazy and wild ride. This is a super fun show from the Showbox in Seattle, July 22, 2005, featuring the great quartet with Dave Alvin, whom I suspect is a major reason they went this direction. Both X and The Knitters still play. Go see them when they hit your town.

Lineage: Soundboard -> DAT(M) -> CDR(1) -> AIFF -> WavePad normalize and split tracks -> TLH convert to FLAC > mp3

A Season in Hell #120: Rin Tin Tiger Time

Tonight on the show I'm excited to host local folk-rocksters, Rin Tin Tiger! If you've spent any time at Sunday Streets in San Francisco, then you know them as the original folk rock trip that lights up the street. They always have a crowd around them, and they're starting to blow up the club circuit on the west coast.

With their first full-release, Toxic Pocketbook, from 2012, RTT has been making a lot of heads turn. I had the Sullivan brothers, Kevin (vox/guitar) and Sean (vox/bass) play guest DJ with me tonight. They played a lot of their own music, some of their contemporary favorites, and told some great road stories.

They're headlining at Cafe DuNord this Wednesday, and it's the MUST SEE show of the week.

SUPPORT LIVE LOCAL MUSIC.

Take this show and give it to a loved one.

A Season in Hell #105: John Hell is a Ladies Man

It's that time of year again in San Francisco. The tourists have gone home and our summer is in full swing. Damn, it was hit in SF the past few days. Whew. I'm sweatin' it too. Not that I'm complaining, really. Living in the fog, we don't really get to feel the heat like the rest of the country, so if we get a week or so of 85 degrees, then I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

I'll be honest with you, I'll never complain about the fog again, knowing about the triple digits in the rest of the country. Don't be a hater.

Speaking about being hot under the collar, it's election season again. Tonight on my show I hosted Ken Tray, Political Director of United Educators of San Francisco. I've hosted Ken a number of times over the years to talk with him about local and state propositions,  and school board candidates. Head over to their site to see who they're endorsing for the upcoming school board election.

Tonight we spoke about two very important state props, 30 and 32. If you don't know what's up just listen to me: Yes on 30, No on 32. That's all you need to know. Ok, ok, if you really need to know more follow the links to get educated.

Music-wise, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is coming up in SF this weekend. Music breaks during the interview and much of the second hour features artists who will be playing this weekend at the event. I also have some Laurel Canyon sounds in there for good measure.
