I wanted affection

Human Behavior - "Crag" (Golgotha)

This is probably the best song I've heard in a while. And now I'm sharing it with you because that's how love works. 

The only words I've said today are "beer" and "thank you"

Bill Callahan - "The Sing" (Dream River)

Lost in Light Rotation

Tullycraft - "Lost in Light Rotation" (Lost in Light Rotation

Tullycraft actually ranks equally on my "bands I enjoy" and "bands that make me feel like writing music is pointless since they already did it better than I could" lists.

Hey folks,

Got some bad news for you kids. Next week, my show is entirely pre-empted due to basketball. And the week after that is Thanksgiving and I will be wine-tasting and finding out exactly how much wine I can drink before I can't think thoughts anymore. So we'll meet up again in December. To quote the bard, "I will remember you. Will you remember me?"

At least we had last night's episode:

Tekufah

Electric Masada - "Tekufah" (At the Mountain of Madness)

A) It is a bummer this song is split up into two parts on YouTube.
B) It is a bummer that it's such low-fidelity.
C) Because this is a psychotic burner of a track that fuses jazz, klezmer, and noise with virtuoso improv musicianship that borders on telekenetic link.

But I breathe easily in your arms

FKA Twigs - "Breathe" (EP)

In case you wanted to hear a fanastic song whilst watching its fashionable, lovely, talented songwriter wreck the shit out of a car.

Ya Yumma

Omar Souleyman - "Ya Yumma" (Wenu Wenu)

Hey guys!

I hope you all had a chance to donate during KUCI's fund drive. If not, you have a few more days to call 949-824-5824 or go to KUCI.ORG and pledge. Any amount would be completely welcome. It helps keep commercial-free/non-profit/free speech/community radio on the air in Orange County.

And people get to hear great songs like these!:

I’m not the kind of sick that you can fix

Chelsea Wolfe - "Sick" (Pain Is Beauty)

Today I'm attempting to channel my inner goth queen.

Playlist for 10-31-13 (Halloween/Fund Drive edition!)

So, I was really concerned that fund drive--our twice-yearly request for donations to keep our commercial-free community radio station afloat--would hamper the Halloween spirit of my spooOOooOooky radio show. But my listeners came through with EXTREME generosity, and I was able to raise over $600 in two hours. An all-time record for my humble little radio show.

If you want to donate to KUCI, you can donate at any time by calling 949-824-5824 in the next week, or by going to KUCI.ORG and donating online. I'll be doing one more fund drive edition of the radio show this Thursday, so please feel free to call in and donate. ANY amount is welcome.

You'd be keeping unique programing like the following dark ambient Halloween edition of my radio show on the air:
