HANK III/KIT & THE BRANDED MEN/SISTA SEKUNDEN/THE THRASH ATTACK/PIRATE CAT RADIO/PLAYLIST/TOP 10

First off, I’m glad Obama and the Democratic Party won the election. It was worth the wait for two fuckin years of campaigning. I’m serious, for two years I’ve been listening to left/right-wing radio, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, BBC News, reading newspapers/political magazines, political websites, funny websites and so much more that I’m fuckin campaign hungover. I don’t want too see another news story for a while. I don’t want too see any news or read anything that has to do with the win whatsoever. Just like a hangover, I’m taking care of it. This week all I’m doing this is playing my iPod, watch movies and take a break from all the post-election crap. I’ll still watch the Daily Show and the Cobert Report on Comedy channel though. Those guys are very fuckin funny and talk about other shit beside politics. FUCK! I fucked up! I just saw highlights of Obama walking into the White House. Nooooooo!!!! Oh well, just like a hangover. . . start drinking again and it’ll go away. HA!

I’m glad to be back on the airwaves from being out of town for work a whole week and then the election. I have some interviews coming up on Pirate Cat Radio in the next couple of weeks. Next Tuesday at 5PM (PST), I’m having Hank Williams III (better known as HANK III). Yep, the grandson of Hank Williams will be calling in the show. HANK III has a new album out and it’s on a new label as well. I can’t wait to ask him some grueling questions about music, touring, chicks, booze and his dog. Just two country boys talking shit. HA!

Also on the same day but, an hour earlier at 4 o’clock I’m having a band performing live in the Pirate Cat Radio studio/café. KIT & THE BRANDED MEN is a country band from the East Bay and I’m glad I saw them at Thee Parkside a couple of months ago. The band plays country music like I remember it when I was growing up in Texas. Go and check out the bands bio and songs at www.myspace.com/kitandthebrandedmen. The story of Kit is remarkable by the way. Remember, you can hear all this on my radio show 4to6PM (PST) at PCR 87.9FM in San Francisco and Los Angeles. 104.8 in Berlin, Germany and of course on the world wide web at WWW.PIRATECATRADIO.COM.

This Friday, November 14^th at Thee Parkside is going to be a killer Punk show. All the way from Sweden comes, SISTA SEKUNDEN. These kids sound great and the rest of the line-up looks like I’m in for one hell of a night. Check out the bands shit right here and come out. www.myspace.com/sistasekunden. Oh yeah, the show is another Alcoholocaust Presents and here’s the rest of the line-up: ACTS OF SEDITION, ACEPHALIX and PULLOUT (ex-members of Monster Squad). BE THERE THERE THERE THERE THERE!!

Remember, check out my new radio show every Tuesday 4to6PM (PST) at Pirate Cat Radio 87.9FM San Francisco/Los Angeles and 104.8FM in Berlin, Germany. You can check it out online at WWW.PIRATECATRADIO.COM. Oh yeah, the last of my six shows are podcast'd as well. The station is also attached to the PCR Café. If you're in San Francisco, come on down to 21^st Street @Florida for a coffee, ice tea, Italian soda, free internet or just hangout. Also, I'm taking band submissions right now to play live in the café/studio. No amps or full drums whatsoever! Let's say like a living room feel to it (minus the bongs, coke mirrors, porn and booze). C'mon, it's a neighborhood café. Anyway, get a hold of me for submissions.

Also, I’m back on THE THRASH ATTACK every Thursday 4to7PM (PST) at WWW.KSCU.ORG or 103.3FM in the South Bay. Spread the word and tell all your friends in bands, labels, promoters, bookers or anybody else that deals with bands. Thanks for all the music some of you send, listen and support college radio. Have a nice weekend and be cool. Cheers!
