Joining me tonight is TradeMark G of Evolution Control Committee (and co-founder of RV) is in the studio for the first time in over 3 years!!! Trademark is the Godfather of the Mashup! That's a good thing, right? I think so. He hosted "Sound of Plaid" on Radio Valencia since our inception back in August 2010, and he promises to be making a comeback soon. We hope so. TM and his bride, Miss Frilly Pants moved back to Columbus, Ohio a few years back, and life just hasn't been the same for us Mashup freaks in da Bay. At least TM finished his masters degree. Way to go, brother!

The music was great tonight, but you really need to listen to his stories, between the tracks. TM is a great storyteller, and WHAT A VOICE! This guy has a real future in radio, if he wants it. My fondest live performance of ECC involved the Thimbletron. I've posted a video below, I think you'll enjoy.

Enjoy.

A Season in Hell #108: The Return of Altered Barbie

WOW!!! What a night. The Giants win the pennant and I've got Julie Anderson, curator of Altered Barbie in the studio, again!

In 2002 I was on the air interviewing Dennis McNally of the Grateful Dead, when the Giants beat the Cardinals to head to the World Series. In 2010 I was on the air interviewing Mark Growden when they won the World Series. Tonight I was on the air interviewing Julie and a few others when the Giants won the NLCS in an ocean at AT&T Park. WOW! I'm 3-0. Look out Tigers.

On to the show. It's time for the 10th annual Altered Barbie Exhibition, opening this Wednesday, October 24th at 50 Shotwell, in San Francisco. The opening night reception, which promises to be fabulous is this Friday night. Curator Julie Anderson brought in some performers tonight, including GregAngelo (that's how he spells it), Cyclub and Ethel Merman. See links below for these fabulous folks.

I've enjoyed this show so much over the years. You really do have to go check out a certain San Francisco event. Even if you hate Barbie you'll love this show. It's "Altered Barbie", so you know it's going to be really fucked up. Good stuff. Tell them John Hell sent you.

As for the music tonight, after the guests left everything was on vinyl. I really have to thank my friend Kaylynn, who donated about 150 LPs to me and Radio Valencia. Everything I played tonight came from that collection. Lot's of 80s/90s indie, punk, metal, goth. All around goodness.

The rain has slowed down, and the crowds are now out of their cars celebrating in the streets, as I write this. It's going to be a long and crazy night in the Mission. I think I'll join them. This is just too good to pass up. Don't you wish you lived in the greatest city in the world, too?

A Season in Hell #87: MCA Meets Jerry Garcia

There are some moments in life when you really just have to ask yourself why? This is one of those moments. MCA of the Beastie Boys died last week of Salivary Gland cancer at the age of 47. WTF?!?!?

License to Ill came out when I was a junior in high school. I remember not liking it at first. I thought of the Beasties as a trip of whiny white boys. I also thought they were pretending to be from NYC, and that they were actually from Iowa, or somewhere very white bread. I was happy to be proven wrong. After a few listens the record (yes, an actual vinyl LP, kids) really grew on me. It was obvious that these three true to the early hiphop form. Paul's Boutique solidified my love and respect for the Beastie Boys. Oh those beautiful samples. Miles Davis loved that record. Chuck D of Public Enemy was quoted as saying that everyone in hiphop and rap at that time knew that Paul's Boutique was the BEST record of it's time. That's pretty good props.

Tonight I'll the first hour will feature some of my favorite Beastie Boys tracks throughout the years.

Hour two is week five of eight of my tribute to the Grateful Dead's Europe 72 tour. Tonight I've got an awesome Lovelight I want to share with you.
