Hell's Kitchen Radio #266: Sauce And A Little Hell

It's been WEEKS since I've hosted a show. Here's my most recent one, which featured both the wife (Saucy) and the daughter (Little Lauson Hell)! I think this is the first time I've had them both in the studio with me at the same time!!!

It's a family affair tonight! I've got the return of Little Lauson Hell and my dear bride, Saucy in the studio with me. Will we air dirty laundry live on the radio? Lauson and Saucy chose much of the music. It's a wee more poppy than you'll usually hear in the Kitchen. Don't let that stop you from enjoying it. And the banter is...woo hoo! Boy, do you get to learn about this family! Yowza!

Sorry it's taken so long to post this. I took a few weeks off, and traveled to the great Pacific Northwest. We tried to fly to Vancouver, but wouldn't you know it, them Canadiens say we need to have a passport for the little one to fly up there. So we flew to Seattle, drove to Vancouver, then drove back to Seattle, before ending our 9 days in Portland. Fabulousness was had by all!

I'll be back on Radio Valencia this coming Monday night at 8PM (PDST). Tune in.

Enjoy.

Here's another recent broadcast that didn't get posted. This is from June 20th. What a mix! Lots of new music and plenty of music that's new to you. And check out the SET OF THE WEEK!!!

This coming Monday night, Little Lauson Hell will be back in the studio with me. What will this 11 year old wonder pick to play? Your guess is as good as mine (but if she knows what's good for her, she'll stay away from that pop crap). Tune in this Monday at 8PM.

I actually have about six shows over the past six years that I have yet to post. What the hell is up with that?! I'll do my best to get to those soon enough, as long as you promise to actually check them out. Feel free to comment on any and all of my show posts too! And please share this with any of your music-loving friends.

Enjoy.

How I love to teach the next generation of great DJs!!! Tonight I had the pleasure of hosting the next great Radio Valencia DJ, Gatsby Fassbinder, who hosts "Tighten Up Your Wig" every Thursday from 4-6PM. He chose some amazing tracks to play this evening (all of which I marked "GB"). He easily won "Set of the Night" as well. This Gatsby fella is pretty darn good. Give him a listen.

I dished up some tasty treats as well. Last Poets, Nick Cave, William Shatner, new Boris, and new Magnetic Zeros (they appear to be in the verge of dropping the Edward Sharpe prefix).

Something for the whole family to devour, every Monday night, 8-10PM on Radio Valencia.

Next Monday night, guitarist Michael Cobra will guest DJ with me. His last appearance in the kitchen was a memorable one. Take a listen here, and then tune in next week.

Enjoy.

I love how I have this two-hour canvas of aural goodness that I get every week. I love painting an audio painting for you, that you get to take with you, forever! Lots of classic hiphop tonight, as well as new music from Zig Zags, Low Flying Hawks, and The Flat Earthers.

Just one look at the playlist below, and I'm certain that you too will agree that Radio Valencia is a must stop on the internet radio truck stop journey of life...or something like that.

Enjoy.

Hell's Kitchen Radio #262: I'm So Glad

From last Monday, because you know you were waiting with baited breath...

Just a brief look at the playlist below and you'll see why I consider radio the art of the segue. So many genres packed into this two hour show. And a tasty 25 minute Grateful Dead treat, celebrating a brilliant show from 39 years ago! New music from Charles Moothart, the Melvins, Owl, and something you've never heard before from Boris. There's local music and music that's new to you. Something for the entire family. I wouldn't play Avenue D for the kids though.




Ooh, I even too a request! I so rarely do that. I guess I was just in the mood. I usually have so much music with me that I want to share, that I don't make time for your requests. What if I do an all-request show? Would you like that? May I do that just for little ol' you?
