AFS v. 357-358 ~ feat. Spray Paint live on KDVS!

A. Spray Paint played a killer thriller of a live set on Freeform KDVS 90.3 FM last night, and here's a one-hour podcast including the entire performance, capped off by a jammed-out version of the churning, slow-burning B-side of their brand-new 2nd 7" single on SS Records, featuring guest saxophone by Mr. SS himself, Scott Soriano. We filled almost a half hour at the end of the program with a rambling interview which discussed the band's other musical activities, how they play their instruments so good, funny stories behind some of their songs, pro wrestling, etc.

AFS v. 355 ~ Officer Friendly!

The Last Sons of Smut may not have made the cover of MRR, so we unstuck the trashy pages of Manitowoc's annals of gunk/punk history to kick off another guest-hosting opportunity as Trotsky and Phil skipped their "Stompin' Bootboys" program in favor of catching White Fang and Bad Daddies at a house-show in Davis.

For most of the last 17½ years, I've hosted a regular weekly program at Freeform KDVS 90.3 FM in Davis, and it's been a great time!

I never did tire of finding and playing all kindsa new and underheard music for you to hear, nor did I get tired of meticulously planning musical segueways or diagramming excursions through styles and genres of music. Having discovered KDVS at an early age, it was very natural of me to enjoy a wide variety of music, and I hope that openness rubbed off on some people.

Even as Australia continues to rise, I do feel like the punk/noise/DIY/underground might've peaked a few years ago, but I still do find plenty to enjoy every week among the records, tapes, demos, and streams that continue to cram the mailbox at KDVS and my P.O. box through perhaps too many purchases. 'Til I'm down to my last dollar, that's when I'll buy my last record.

I won't say "I quit" KDVS or this blog because I know I'll be subbing for DJs who are out sick or outta town or pulling all-nighters for study or term papers, but I can't forecast the frequency of these radio appearances. I do promise that I'll continue to post 'em up right here so you can have a listen. I might also be using this blog for more writing. I used to do a lot more of that before my weekly schedule began to get too crowded.

There are several reasons why I'm stepping back now--let's call it an indefinite hiatus--and chief among them are that I'm trying to explore more interests for which I've not made enough time over the last few years. I used to hike to the top of a mountain every week or two, but I haven't done that in a few years now. I used to travel a lot more, and I always wished that I could chronicle those travels better than just writing Yelp reviews of the places where we ate. I just happened to find a perfectly functional Polaroid SX-70 at an estate sale, so now I'm excited to get started on doing that. ALSO...I'd like to have a band that lasts longer than 1-2 shows or 7-8 practices...maybe record something! Make a record? Perhaps start a label? Not sure about that last part, but we'll see where this life-after-KDVS goes. There's also the friends and family who I didn't get to see often enough because I spent two nights per week at KDVS (one to do the show, another to train the next generation of new DJs). I definitely wanna spend more time with them, too.

KDVS will continue to be among the handful of very best radio stations in the world, so I hope you will continue to listen and support this station which I think does the best job of playing the newest of the new music that few if any others find. We've instilled in many new DJs the desire and the courage to knock over unturned stones to see what's there, and share it with you the listener, even if there's still lotsa mud on it. Bands, labels, etc., please keep sending your music there. If it deserves to be heard, I'm sure it will!

Check back here maybe every couple of weeks. See ya around! Thanks for listening!

Certainly Mad Judy might be on the more "melodic punk" side. Not my usual cup o' tea. But you can hear enormous potential which they are capitalizing on already in their best songs, and their outstanding cover of Gun Club's "Ghost on the Highway". A week after being in a more mournful mood, it was great to get such a shot in the arm from a young band from one of California's seemingly most banal suburbs! Also...I'm super-stoked to see The Feeling of Love from France on the West Coast for the next two weeks. I didn't realize how many inches their discography already takes up on our shelves at home. And upon reinvestigation, it's almost all hits and very little filler....and even the filler is pretty fun!

And I do suppose we’ll be saying hello again to his memories often and soon!
I’m just now getting to know so much more about what was special about his writing.
I never got an NGL zine until recently, and I'm stunned at the talent and wisdom of this guy.
And despite being so prolific, the quality of the writing was incredible.
He was truly inspirational and will not be forgotten!

Okay, Bay Areans...Get ready for the best Sacto band that debuted live in 2011!
Screature is taking their show outta the Central Valley for the first time this Saturday, January 21, at Amnesia in San Francisco!
Their awesome brand of postpunk is propelled by a cool, moody rhythm section of bass-organ and drums, but any semblance of The Doors ends right there. The killer psych-punk guitar recalls Helios Creed's best work in Chrome, and singer Liz lends amazing mystique and power with that dusky voice and stage command. What tinge of gothy-ness exists flows freely and naturally--without irony and with judicious restraint--and the band is surely riveting enough to rock you. Fuzzbox Flynn and I are planning to make the drive down.

Sorry...It took awhile to get around to making my "best of" list of 2011 albums. Even on the downside of the last few halcyon years of music, some excellent albums missed the cut, so it was hard to whittle down. Also, I was still waiting to hearing those albums by Condominium and True Sounds of Thunder. Those came out when I was in a bit of a cash bind, so I missed my chance to get 'em while they were fresh. Then again, the last several years, I make my list in mid-December, and then January rolls around and there's 2-3 December releases that I wanna add to the list.

Please have a listen to my top 25 playlist above, and if you feel like it, tell me what you liked in 2011. It's in no particular order except to make for sensible radio segueways...and, well...I did segregate the Aussies from the rest. Oz's roll keeps going, as it remains the center of the rock & roll world.

But here they are in order of awesomeness, in my opinion...

1. TOTAL CONTROL Henge Beat (Iron Lung)
2. WOUNDED LION IVXLCDM (In The Red)
3. UV RACE Homo (In The Red)
4. DAN MELCHIOR Assemblage Blues (Siltbreeze)
