The good people at Loyola Marymount University have requested that all KXLU DJs remove podcasts of their shows from their own websites. Seriously.

Because as ambassadors of KXLU, anything we post on our private websites could create a liability issue for the university.

Uh…what?

Let me make it clear to you, the Active Downloader of High Art Rock Programming: I will never, ever, ever, fucking ever stop recording and posting my shows. I wholly invite LMU to figure out how to punish me for doing so. This is outrageous. They’ll need to protect themselves from a theoretical lawsuit by actually suing me and a dozen other DJs. And even then they’d have to win.

That said, here’s the past three weeks of shows. Available for download and streaming. Forever. Enjoy!

There’s no easy way for me to record my show…you’d think it would be simple. Plug in here to get a nice, crispy, clean and loud signal…but no. This episode was recorded through the radio receiver at KXLU, which one would think would create a nice crispy clean hot signal since the gigantic antenna is sitting on our roof, right? And yet there’s static. Not a lot. It’s actually quite comforting, it sounds like you’re listening to this show on the radio…

This marked the 4th place I’ve tried to get a decent signal from, next week will be experiment #5.

This is why you donate during Fundrazor…and this is why I get sad and pissed when we can’t just have basic things that would benefit everyone. Like universal health care?

I digress.

I’m going to get back to posting records on Falcon Friday soon. I’ve got a huge backlog, just need to find the time. I’m also considering tacking onto each podcast post an entire record by an artist that I had never heard of before playing them that week. Seems like a good idea. What would I post from this week? Hmm…probably Spitoon or the record by The Christophers “…on Sex Instruction – A Helpful Guide to Parents” that is superbly creepy. Oh well, good thing I’m not starting that this week.

New timeslot. No more waking up at 5:10am! 25% less radio every week, which may or may not be a good thing. The 1/22 show is 3 hours of the usual awesomeness. On last week’s show (1/29), I was joined in-studio by former long-time KXLU DJ Bret, who now is a programmer at Cinefamily. We talk about the Post Punk Junk film series he’s curating for all of February. Highly recommended if you’re in the area.

Before being joined by Bret, I played a pre-recorded live set from Philadelphia’s Mincemeat or Tenspeed! He’s loud and awesome, that’s why I didn’t mind coming up on the weekend to record him. His new record Strange Gods is unbelievably great.

Mincemeat or Tenspeed, Live at KXLU:

On the 1/29 show, I accidentally recorded the podcast through the wrong input…so there’s a special treat that was recorded. At KXLU we have two stations, the FM station (KXLU) and the campus-only station KLMU. When nobody’s using the campus only station, it broadcasts KXLU. Through the confusion of how I have to record my podcasts, I mistakenly got my signal from the campus station and got about 2 hours of my actual show and a whole hour of some Loyola Marymount student’s show. I edited his show down to a highlight reel. It’s really delightful, especially at the end of his show when he apologizes to his listeners that he has to put my show back on!

I’m sooooooo looking forward to seeing him next week. If you listen to him, he gives out the number for the campus request line. A clever IVOR-lover would call next Friday around 11am and request something magical.

This episode is the last time I had to wake up at the ungodly hour of 5:10am in order to provide the people of Los Angeles with four hours of delightful rock radio. Next week I’ll be on from 9am-noon Friday. I’ll be well rested, chipper (maybe) and ready to provide THREE hours of rock radio jam packed with non-hits.

The highlight of this show for me, as you’ll hear, is the rediscovery of a song from my youth. The artist is unknown. The song comes from a cassette tape that my dad used to play on every long car ride, he must have made it back in the early 80’s from his record collection. This particular song comes from a Simi Valley battle of the bands vinyl compilation. I’ve got to find his copy of the record somewhere to see what other gems there are (and to find out who does this song). This song is as powerful of a reminder of my childhood as the smell of freshly baked cookies are to everyone else.

I really shouldn’t have made it on time to this show. Getting up at 5am on New Year’s Day? After going to bed at 2am drunk as a skunk? AND forgetting to set the alarm? Yet, my hungry kitten, the lovely one-toothed Lady Scrappleton jumped on me at 5:25am and punched my face. She wanted chicken, as always. This cat, with her one tooth, can eat twice her weight in fresh rotisserie chickens. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

Santa + Jesus + Crazy People = Delightful Times.

While I’m not a fan of Jesus, or Santa for that matter, I do love me some songs about them. Here’s a whole crapload of them. This clocks in as my lengthiest podcast to date (close to 5 hours!) and it’s jam-packed full of Jesus/Santa hits.

I’ve gone the extra mile and am providing a seperate zip file of the individual tracks for you to cherish and share with your loved ones on this fine holiday.

Stream the podcast here:

And the zip file of all 72 (!) mp3s, including “Santa Claus Was A Black Man,” “Jogging for Jesus,” the creepy girl singing over Black Sabbath and much…much…much more is here:

The playlist can be found here.

“Jesus Christ: Air Conditioning Repairman!” Oh man, the hits never stop. Good lord! Enjoy…

Sincere apologies for the tardiness of this post. Coming back from tour made me sleepy. And sick. I think after eating 90 consecutive meals featuring delightful cheeses, then coming back to America and not eating cheese really fucked my shit up. The moral of the story is that cheese is the best.
