More of what you have come to expect in Hell's Kitchen tonight. many genres, and you get to hear me call George Bush an asshole. Which Bush? Does it really matter?

I got on a real funky/soul/jazz kick in the first hour. The second hour starts off with a kick ass Terrapin Station from 1977, leading into a live Zappa track I found to be quite appropriate.

New music from Nudity, Father John Misty, Mikal Cronin, and Moon Duo round out the show, along with a lovely little ditty from Pres 43.

I viewed "Montage of Heck" on Sunday night, and I was more impressed than I thought I would be. Not to be a spoiler, but I'm pleased that they didn't go close to investigating why he died. If you're a fan of Nirvana, check out the film. The animation of his journals is well worth the viewing.

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there. I actually despise Hallmark Holidays, and this one has a colorful history all its own. But if it makes you happy to have a day all to yourself, then good on ya! I would think most mothers would want a day away from their kids on this day. You know: "give me a break!".

Enjoy.

A Season in Hell #72: Radio Valencia: Where Have You Gone, Dr. King?

Shareef Ali is in the studio in the first hour. He's promoting a show this Wednesday at Bottom of the Hill.

Following this fine interview I'm focusing on a tribute to the late, great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

It's all about the preparation. I often times pull too much music, which is good. I'd rather do that than not pull enough. I don't time my show down to the second, but I always have a good sense of what should follow what. Radio is a craft; an art form. They say it takes twenty years to become a master. I've been doing radio since 1988; DJing since 1986. I don't feel I'm a master in any way, but I really do love practicing my art every week. I'm blessed.

Tonight I went deep to pay tribute to Dr. King. I think you'll enjoy the show.
