And here's the final playlist (for now), at just over 3 hours and 52 songs. Thanks to everybody who tuned in for this part of the experiment. Next step: a micro-station!

Things appear to be moving faster here in California so I'm skipping ahead a little, too, and doing the last Twitch stream on Saturday: 3 hours, 50 tracks, including at least one hour of uninterrupted music! We'll fire it up one more time starting at 5pm San Diego time, 8pm EST!

On a couple of levels, outside-life has been pulling me away from the show. But considering that I figured this would be a temporary broadcast anyway, it seems like a good time to work toward the next step.

So here's the plan: No show on 5 June or 12 June. But we'll come back on the 19th for Episode 1996, covering some tunes that turn 25 this year, and then a three-hour finale on the 26th -- The Final 50. Things are opening up again and understandably, people will want to get away from Twitch as much as possible. I do have an idea as to where to take the project in the future, though. More on that later. Thanks to everybody who's been following this first step, though, and we'll see you in a couple of weeks.

Apologies for getting this up so late -- tied up in a project in regular life this week. With that in mind, gonna take this Saturday off from streaming as well. I'll have an update on the schedule after the weekend. Stay safe, everybody!

Like everybody else this week, we were blown away by The Linda Lindas -- so we dove deeper into their catalog! Plus two VERY different Bowie covers, a touch of reggae with Pato Banton & Jimmy Cliff, and starting off with one of my favorite opening riffs!

05/22/2021

For once we're jumping on a bandwagon -- The Linda Lindas aren't just a one-song band! We'll play something off of their Bandcamp page along with one of my favorite opening riffs ever, tonight at 6pm San Diego time!

As promised, the setlist is up and ready for anyone who had Twitch issues tonight. Track listing in the comments!

Marking 20 years (!) of Weezer's Green Album, plus some punchy lost classics by Radio Birdman and the Buzzcocks; an underrated Adam Ant cover by Client; and Zero Boys, Killing Joke, and the Bay Area's own Unwoman take us back to the 80s in their own ways!

05/15/2021

Don't look now but Weezer has albums that are nearly old enough to drink! We'll mark that bit of our collective mortality with a slightly scuzzier playlist this week. And fyi NEXT WEEK, an announcement for the next special episode -- tonight at 6 Califas time!

This week's playlist is up and sorted at Mixcloud if you want to go back and revisit it!

Tonight should be good! This playlist came together around ESG and a lost little gem by Debbie Harry. Plus an unusual Ramones "block" and a track off of the only album by a San Diego band that's already come and gone. See you at 6 Califas time!

OK, the playlist for last night's Cincomania is up! Thanks to everyone who tuned in live!

This week's playlist ended up exploring a lot of shades in Mexican music episode, so hopefully you'll enjoy A Very Cinco Episode tonight! 6p, Califas Time.

So for Cinco de Mayo, this week's playlist will focus on Mexican and Mexican-American artists -- expect a lot of Rock En Español, and beyond!

04/26/2021

This week's playlist dipped into the old school -- Queen and X, back-to-back, plus some new takes on ABBA -- but the second hour ended up being pretty stacked.

This week, I'm planning something different for Cinco de Mayo, so should have an update on that soonish.

04/24/2021

There's not much these bands in common -- other than, I've seen them all live and they're all a part of the unusually stacked final b lock for tonight's show! Back on at 6pm PST at twitch.tv/aboynamedart!

04/22/2021

OK, while the vaccine completes my upload into the Singularity I should be good to go again on Saturday. In the meantime, my old friends Steve and Eric corralled me to talk old-school sports movies, even if some of them have prooooobably aged pretty badly. This episode also features the best, darkest JFK joke ever.

There's no "out vaccinated" signs available so we'll go with this. Still, feeling the shot today so it's probably best to let it pass through then come back next week. See you soon!

Had to contend with some tech issues on this show, but stay tuned for some standout covers by L.A.'s own Harlequin Jones as well as Angelique Kidjo!

Fighting both the blues and some tech issues, this week's mix is a little moodier but stay tuned for some standout covers by Harlequin Jones out of L.A. and Angelique Kidjo on top of some hidden gems!
