I have a hankerin' for a 7 inch special, so here ya go! This may be my third such special in the past decade or so. I can't be expected to remember all of this, thank you very much. HA!

The original idea of the 7 inch single, going back to the 1950s had to do with record labels not thinking the 33 1/3 long playing record was worth investing in. The labels commodified the music industry early and knew they were more likely to turn a profit if they could identify one song to sell to a public hungry for entertainment. 

By the 1970s the idea of a single had changed. The A-side was always about the "hit" and the B-side was often something special that wasn't going to appear on the full record. They Beatles always put out 12 song records on Parlophone along with a two-song single that didn't appear on the LP. 

For the world of the independent artist the single may be the only music they released. A lot of the songs I play tonight haven't appeared in any other format. 

There are a lot of gems here, so take a listen and please share with music fans in your life.

Enjoy.

Radio Valencia Co-Presents Flipper December 30 & 31 at Bottom of the Hill

Radio Valencia is excited to be co-presenting the December 30 and 31 Flipper show, featuring David Yow at Bottom of the Hill. This is certain to sell out, so head on over to the Bottom of the Hill site to grab your tickets now. Ring in the new year with Bay Area noise-rock, post-punk, experimental rockers Flipper! 

This is supposedly David Yow's final shows with Flipper, so you do not want to miss this. Honestly, unless
there's a Scratch Acid or Jesus Lizard reunion planned, why would he ever leave such a great band?

I'm going to be interviewing the band leading up to the shows, so tune into my Monday night show: Hell's Kitchen Radio on Radio Valencia to check it out. I may even have tickets to give away!?!?!?!

Both nights have comedian and man about town, Neil Hamburger opening. mike watt + missingmen are in support on December 30th, with Radio Valencia's John Hell as your MC. Legendary San Francisco punk band VKTMS are in support for December 31st.

Radio Valencia will be in the house with a merch table so you can ring in the new year with a brand spankin' new Radio Valencia t-shirt. Come grab one for your and your loved ones.

Check out my interview with Flipper guitarist Ted Falconi and bassist Rachel Thoele from July 2019, leading up to Flipper's 40th anniversary show at Great American Music Hall

Do not delay on getting tickets to this show, they will go fast!
