CURSE MACKEY/AGNOSTIC FRONT/TRAP THEM/PIRATE CAT/PLAYLIST/TOP 10

Well, I got two more radio shows at KSCU until the holiday break. Those two weeks I wanna learn how to use the Gargae Band for podcasting and iMovie on my Macbook. I got a few good shows to check out this weekend but first, I had such a great interview with Curse Mackey. If you missed it, here's the link to the podcast, http://www.nerdnetworks.org/pcr/NakedRob-20081209.mp3. Curse has so much knowledge of the music and art business that I learned a few things. Yeah, me learning! HA! Check out the interview for more info. Thanks Curse!

This Friday, December 12th at Thee Parkside will be the Godfathers of Hardcore, AGNOSTIC FRONT from New York City. I am totally stoked too see my heros from back in the day. I haven't seen them since mid-to-late 90's so, its been a while. I don't even think Roger needs to sing because everybody knows the damn lyrics and we are all going to sing along. Anyway, it's going to be one crazy show and hopefully I make it out there with my life because one thing about Agnostic Front shows is that it gets fuckin' rowdy. The band playing on the bill are First Blood, Psychology Of Genocide and Lionheart. If you want an adventure, join the fuckin navy but, if you want a blast come to show on Friday. SEE YA!

Sunday, December 14th I'm finally going too see TRAP THEM at Bottom of the Hill. TRAP THEM is on tour supporting their latest album, Seizures In Barren Praise taht's out on Deathwish Inc. The sound of Trap Them is very brutal and makers me feel like I'm going through a black hole with knives stabbing me all over. As of right now, Trap Them just made the Decibel Magazine's Top 40 Extreme albums of 2008. WOW! Congrats guys and can't wait too share the knife stabbing with you on saunday. oh yeah, These Arms Are Snakes and Narrows are playing on the bill as well. I almost forgot.

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 for next year. 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.

Don't forget to check out 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. I'll have my TOP 10 for 2008 list up next week. I think you'll like it. Ok, have a nice weekend and I'll be back next week for my last chat of the year. Whoo Hoo!! 2009 is comin!! Cheers!

INTERVIEWS: CURSE MACKEY & RAZORCAKE MAGAZINE/SLICK RICK #50 BASH!/PLAYLISTS/TOP 10

Well, Turkey Day has passed us and no more turkey sanwhich's for a while. Hope you all had a good one. I slept for about 15 hours and then got up to grab a burrito in the Mission. Mmmm...Thanksgiving burritooo. Anyway, I will NOT be doing THE THRASH ATTACK on Christmas & New Year's Day. I will be doing my other show on Pirate Cat Radio that Tuesday, December 23rd & 30th though.

Next Tuesday, I'm going to have the one and only, CURSE MACKEY on my radio show. Curse is a producer, performer, DJ, soundtrack composer, art curator, world traveler and general instigator of cultural debauchery. I've known Curse since the San Antonio days when he was in the tribal-industrial group EVIL MOTHERS. He's also been involved with Thrill Kill Kult and now (as of late), lead vocalist of industrial supergroup PIGFACE. He currently did the music for the online roll-playing game, TABULA RASA and also he curated the art exhibit Six-String Masterpieces: the Dimebag Darrell Art Tribute and took it around the world. The real question here is, what hasn't Curse Mackey done?!?! Well, you'll find out next tuesday at 4PM (PST) on Pirate Cat Radio 87.9FM in San Francisco, L.A. and 104.8 in Berlin, Germany. Oh yeah, you can listen to the interview online as well at WWW.PIRATECATRADIO.COM. Don't miss out on this interview with one of the "Need To Know" people of the music and art world of today.

I'm gonna chill out this weekend and start sending out my yearly Christmas cards to friends of family but, in between all that I'm gonna squeeze in a show. My friend Slick Rick is having his #50 SLICK RICK SLICK BIRTHDAY BASH this Friday, December 5th at Thee Parkside here in San Francisco. This bash has an amzaing line-up: Sean Wheeler of Throw Rag & Zander Schloss of the Circle Jerks,GET DEAD, Sore Thumbs, Johnny Dilks, Druglords of the Aves., The Rhinestone Shelby Cobra! The show is ALL AGES and starts early at 8 o'clock. Slick's shows usually means lots of beer, shots and a two-day hangover. I'm glad it's on a Friday. HA!

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.
