Hell's Kitchen Radio #379: Mine All Mine

Radio is my creative outlet. Every week I get a two hour empty canvas on which I can paint tunes that allow the listener to travel to a time and space where they can float, unaware of the responsibilities that lay around them, waiting to be picked up once again following the closing of my show. I hope you have the ability to lay down your weary lists, and just listen for a short time.

We all need to take back some of our precious time. The last thing I want to do is go to my death bed saying "if I only crossed one more item off that list". Now is the time to live, and yes, of course be your responsible self. But may I please request that every Monday night, between 8-10PM you set it all down and pick up a little bit of Hell?

Thanks a ton. I think this show is a perfect example of what I can offer from week to week. I think I'm counting ten distinctive genres spread throughout this playlist. And the second hour has a few live cuts sprinkled in for good effect.

Take a look, take a listen, and join me Monday at 8. You never know what you're going to hear, and I like it like that.

Enjoy.

I do love training a future great DJ. Tonight I had Ruffin the Love Muffin in the studio with me. He's getting ready to take on his own slot, and I get the extreme pleasure to take him through all the paces.

Janis Joplin passed 49 years ago last week, so I felt the need to bring out the goods: a classic live Ball and Chain from 68. This is a Big Mama Thornton cover, so I had to throw in some original Big Mama Mae, doing her dripping hot Hound Dog. Elvis never did it this good.

New music from Kim Gordon, and some other classics that are new to you.

I'm a wee bit behind on posting my shows over the past few months, so I'll be getting those up sporadically over the next few weeks...I hope.

Thanks for the love.

Enjoy.

Tribute shows give me little joy. But at least I have this platform to share music from those who passed on. Robert Hunter, lyricist from the Grateful Dead, Kim Shattuck of Pandoras and the Muffs, and Ginger Baker, drummer from Cream, Blind Faith, Air Force, and Fela Kuti's Africa '70 all passed on recently, so I'm obliged to pay tribute in the second hour.

Enjoy.

Seriously, another show from mid-2019 I forgot to post?!?!?! What the hell is wrong with you, Hell? Oh yes, life gets in the way. Honestly, I don't want to just phone it in. I don't recall much about this show, but I have to say just looking at the playlist really makes me want to jump in. 

Doom metal, jazz/funk, singer/songwriter, alt-country, Texas cow-punk. And that's just the first five songs!!!

Enjoy.

This show straight up rocks. My old KFJC buddy FEAST joins me in the studio. He'll fill in for me on nights that I'm unable to make my show. I'd rather have a warm body in the studio than a rerun, and FEAST is just the man to take the helm.

Lots of great music tonight. New music from Kate Vargas, Melvins/ShitKid split, Oh Sees, Ty Segall, Amyl and the Sniffers, and music that's new to you.

Enjoy.
