I'm the luckiest DJ I know. I got to interview the love duo that makes up San Francisco's Love Jerks!!! The last time I saw Rebecca Garza-Bortman she was the better third of Happy Fangs (sorry Michael...love ya), and the last time I saw Bryan Garza, he was rockin' out with Scissors for Lefty. Little did I know at that time that these two were worshipping one another from afar. Not only did they meet and fall in love, but their wedding was epic!

Now they have their own band, Love Jerks. The came on last Monday night to talk up their Valentine's Day show at the Rickshaw Stop. Have you seen their Facebook Page? Have you seen the promotional videos they have made for this gig? These two are the future; you better get on the bus now! They have a new LP out Million Movies (that's right, VINYL!), which they were kind enough to donate...no payola here, folks. We're straight on the up and up...now. Buy their music here.

They come on during the second hour and we have lots of fun. Check out the music and the interview, where I really don't hold back. How many couple have been in bands together just to watch their love come crumbling down? My money is on these two to make it big and to make it last.

Tune in tonight 8-10PM on Radio Valencia for your chance to win a pair of tickets to go see Jon Spencer this Sunday at Slims.

Enjoy.

A Season in Hell #76: Radio Valencia: John Hell is Annoying

Valentines day is tomorrow and my love is 3200 miles away. She's been gone for two weeks. Her sweet, loving father just passed away from colon cancer. He was diagnosed two weeks ago. Get a colonoscopy everyone. It'll save your life.

Anyway, I'm lonely and feeling a bit annoyed with the fact that the Hallmark LOVE holiday is here. So, I thought I would annoy you for two hours with loud "music".

Also, what the hell is the deal with the Grammy's? The only point to this show is for Clive Davis to sell more music. Really, that's it. The best selling music of the year, as pushed by music promoters that do not live in the same town as the radio stations they are programming, is awarded, which then leads to more sales. I'm sure the artists can make a lot of money off of this, but most of it goes to the industry execs.

Did Adelle deserve all the awards she won? I don't know. As far as the Grammy's are concerned, sure. Why not? Who cares?

I do have a lot of respect for best new artist of the year, Bon Iver, as he told an excited audience that there are a lot of musicians out there that are more deserving than him. Amen, brother. Amen.

From the Washington Post article: "Those who did know the band praised frontman Justin Vernon for his humble acceptance speech. “It’s hard to accept because when I started to make songs, I did it for the inherent reward of making songs, so I’m a little bit uncomfortable up here,” he said. “I want to say thank you to all of the nominees, to all of the non-nominees that have never been here and never will be here, all the bands I toured with, all of the bands that inspired me.” "

And KFOG sucks ass. Have you noticed how they've gotten worse and worse all the time? I mean how much worse can they get? They haven't been good since they had Em Dung on doing the mornings with Scoop Nisker and Kevin the Rat, back in the 80s. for those of you who love Em, he's on Radio Valencia, Sundays 10-midnight now. HA!!!!

Enjoy.
