A Season in Hell #18: Go Ho Yourself

Hey there party revelers.

Tune in Monday night 6-midnight (PST) to A Season in
Hell, with John Hell, on Pirate Cat Radio 87.9fm in SF
and LA, 104,8fm in Berlin, online at
http://piratecatradio.com for the first John & Ron Ass
Kickin' Holiday Rock Bout!!!

I have challenged my good friend, and world famous
concert poster artist Ron Donovan
(http://www.firehouseposters.com/ &
http://homepage.mac.com/yosquirt/PhotoAlbum7.html) to
a six hour duel of who has the best live (read:
bootleg) recordings. I know I'm going to kick Ron's
ass, but I thought it better to make him think he has
a fighting chance.

Ron is nervous too. He text messaged me after midnight
saying he was going to "slay me" during tonight's
show. He was obviously up all night biting his nails.
Get any sleep Ron? You'll need it.

This is without a doubt, the best way to spend your
X-Mas eve. Forget the family, put out the cat, and put
on your hair swinging shoes.

Expect everything from Punk to Prince, Parliament to
Polka. Well, not polka. But we do have many genres
covered.

As always the show will be archived on the Pirate Cat
website. Just click here:
http://www.piratecatradio.com/playlist.php?dj=hell
and look to the right under "podcasts" Click on the
date, which will say "12-25-07". There ya go. If you
tune in live, call in at 415-626-6180.

I'll post the exact links to the podcast following the
show here and on my blog, http://helkatt.blogspot.com,
where I'll also post the full and complete set list.

See you on the radio!!!

***Ron's response to this original email posting is below***

Oh this is real fucking nice little johnny helion.

You have a rather distorted or should I say dyslecsic view of things.

It is I who will be doing the "ass kicking".

This rock fight may be a "dime a dozen" thing to you but when

you call out an international silkscreen superstar like myself

and just so happens to have catologue that can back the shit I am 
telling you,

means just one thing.

You ARE IN TROUBLE.

I am so confident, that I will bring things in tonight to give away

while I AM KICKING YOUR ASS SILLY.

Johnny.

I feel for you and your "fans"

I'll see you at the rockfight tonight at 6pm sharp bitch.

Your pal......(who will kick your ass silly)

***My response to Ron***

My reply to Ron:

Helion indeed! You'll be feeling the flames of fire underneath your
hobbit-sized little punk ass, as I wipe up the holiday spew with your
light-rock, Dan Folgelberg (RIP), Ann Murray collecting hair weave.


The listeners know, that I, John Hell, rule the bootleg world. I am
who hosts the weekly radio show, while all you do is sit in your
hobbit hole getting ink all over your precious surf shorts, that it is
I who will be burying you between 6 and midnight (pst)
http://piratecatradio.com 87.9fm in SF and LA, 104.8fm in Berlin.

So bring your presents to give away over the air. If you think that
will get you votes from my dedicated listeners, then feel free to
bring your original silkscreened concert posters as BRIBES. It won't
help much, but I don't mind seeing you grovel a little.

Much love.

A Season in Hell #17: Take Care of Yourself

On the show tonight, I hosted four Chiropractors from San Francisco: Rabboni Tacusalme, Lisa, Josie and Janelle. I used to see Rab years ago when I lifted a 50lb. box of bananas inappropriately. He's amazing. He saved my life. I absolutely believe in the healing power of Chiropractics. You should too.

They come on in the second hour of the show. We talk a lot about headaches; why they happen and what you can do to prevent them from coming. I'm lucky, I've never suffered from headaches, which is interesting, because my mother has had migraines my entire life. I'm probably the cause.

You can access the archived show here.

Next week promises to be overpowering. Ron Donovan, from Firehouse Kustom Posters and I will be hosting our first Rockin' Live X-Mas Eve/Holiday Live Music Extravaganza!!! Six amazing hours of Ron and I outdoing each other for the better live tracks.

I'll be kicking his ass all over the airwaves. It will be aurally surreal. Tune in.

A Season In Hell #14: Surfs Up!

I had Mermen bassist Allen Whitman on the show this week. I love Allen, he's such a fun guy to have around. He brought along a bunch of new Mermen music, as well as other great sounds he's been involved with over the past few years.

The last time I interviewed Allen was when I was on San Francisco Liberation Radio. About two weeks after the interview we were raided by the FCC. Let's watch the clock.


That's Allen on the left, icecreamlopez on the right.

Take a listen to the show here.

Below is the play list.

Enjoy.
