Call me LuigiHell because I'm slaying tonight!

Seriously though, what's it going to take to wake people up...to the fabulous music that's being played on Radio Valencia? And to the Hell that awaits soulless CEOs and corporations that suck off the teet of the common people? 

I really hope that Africaaner leech oligarch is looking over his shoulder right now. That guy needs some comeuppance.

As for the music, holy moly this was a fun show to produce!

You got you some folk, blues, jazz, funk, punk, psych, garage, post-punk and more! All that you've come to know and love on Hell's Kitchen Radio.

Now, let's cook us up some oligarchs! 

Enjoy and please share.

532 days. That's how long it had been since I had the pleasure of broadcasting from a radio studio. That finally came to an end Monday night as I entered the new home of Radio Valencia, now a storefront location deep in the heart of the Mission District of San Francisco.

Granted, there is work to do. We have a new mural by Alan Forbes that we need to get up, signage needs to be added on the front, new furniture purchased, and art hung on the walls, but I can tell you this is the place that I've dreamed about for decades. Really, decades. Have you ever seen the show "Northern Exposure"? Then you know.

We have dreams of looking similar to the former East Village Radio.

As for the show, it was all vinyl. I haven't had the pleasure to host an all-vinyl show since December 2019. I never hooked my laptop up to my stereo. I don't even think I can. 

All of the music I played tonight was music I purchased during COVID. I didn't have enough time to play everything I brought, so next week might be more of the same. Oh boo hoo!

Of course I started with Melvins.

You're welcome.

Please forgive any technical issues, like over modulating, I'm getting used to the setup. 

Enjoy. I can't wait to host you all!

Well this is embarrassing. I should have had this up for you days ago. I really have no excuse. It's not like I go anywhere. I don't commute anymore. I don't go see people. I don't go to shows, or out to restaurants, or even for many walks. I'm mostly in front of this damnable machine for too many hours a day. Maybe that's why it didn't get done: the lack of motivation? 

Maybe.

I love hosting my show every week. I would host a daily show if I had the time to do so. Work and family does take precedent, don't ya know.

But for Monday night I'm all yours. So what do you want to do with me? I'm a glutton for your punishment.

Here's what I have for you.

Enjoy.

There are good shows, and then there are shows when I am truly inspired. And tonight was such a night. And I can honestly say it was all about you, the listeners. So many great comments and inspirations. It's like I jump start the show, and then you all chime in, getting me to go farther than I thought I could!?!?

Maybe I'm just excited to be losing 280 pounds on January 20th? I don't know, but this was a fun show to host. 

So this is a new dawn, yes? How are you going to approach it? What are going to do differently leading into the next four years? What are your hopes and your fears?

There are so many opportunities standing there in front of us. Let's not lose focus on what makes us great. And let's allow music to be a binding force for good.

RUN FOR THE LILLIES 2021

The rules are simple:

• You choose ten celebrities (from any industry) you believe will meet their demise by December 31, 2021.
• The only rule: you may NOT contribute to their passing.
• Email the list by January 31st (no one on your list may have passed before you get me your list) to mrjohnhell@gmail.com
• I know this is morbid; my name is HELL
• There will be a prize for the most names "collected", announced January 2022

Enjoy.
