Alive WE Ride

For this episode, Chad Gibbs aka "Zoid" and I teamed up to celebrate the winners of The LAF awards aka "Laguna Achivement Awards." We asked a few of the winners send us a song and a reason why the pickled it. The music set list is very eclictic, and super cool. My favorite part of the show, was reading the stories about why they picked their song. This is truly a Laguna Local episode...

Enjoy

For this episode, I made a mix of old and new indie bands with a dash of a few Laguna Bands.
The Lagadelic Music festival is June 20th right here in Laguna Beach. SPLIFFRIFF (Laguna Band) will be on the main stage along with FRANKIE AND THE WITCH FINGERS. I have a few tracks by theseamazing artists in the mix...

Enjy the Show.

Today's show is a core mix of Alt-Rock, Punk, New Wave, No Wave and Old school Metal.
Enjoy.

I originally had a punk show planned for todays show. Then my family came to town and everything changed. My dad is 87 years old and I thought it would be awesome to bring him to the radio station - which it was. He was so happy seeing his oldest son doing his thing. My brother 'Buwet" also joined us in the studio and since my Dad did not want to get on the MIC, my brother held it down with me.
The set list is a solid mix of famous 80's artists in the new wave and ska genre.  

Jake Caliger, the frontman for local Laguna band SpliffRiff, joins me in the studio to talk about the biggest event of the Summer -  The LAGADELIC MUSIC FESTIVAL. It's a grass roots music festival, featuring the hottest upcoming bands from Laguna Beach and Orange County.

We also play a lot of new music from upcoming artists in and around The LAGADELIC MUSIC FESTIVAL

It's always fun having Jake in the studio...

Enjoy the show...

Wazzup Haoles!!! It’s ALOHA FRIDAY and I’m in Jah Mood for some…

JAHWAIIAN Music. If you have never heard of JAHWAIIAN Music… It’s basically Hawaiian Reggae.

The roots of the genre trace back to the arrival of reggae in Hawaii during the 1970s and early 1980s. Bob Marley's 1979 tour, which included a stop in Hawaii, helped spark local interest. Hawaiian listeners found a natural kinship with reggae — both cultures shared themes of island life, colonial history, indigenous pride, resistance, spirituality, and a laid-back tropical sensibility. The rhythms of reggae meshed well with the slack-key an...

When I make these playlists for my show, it all starts out with a little inspo from somewhere in the universe. And the idea to play that opening track “Down by the Sea” by MEN AT WORK came to me on Isacc Zoelers Instagram – where he shared a few images of his epic surf trip with Hans Hagen in Morrocco - last year. While "Down By The Sea" played int he background. 

So I built this setlist for today's show with travel and adventure in my mind.
it was a fantastical sonic journey, and I am grateful to be a...

When I first started this gig here at KXFM - one of my main objectives (besides playing good music) was to bring in OG Laguna Locals and talk story about life and the good ‘ol days grown up in Laguna. Basically, ALIVE WE RIDE is a great excuse to hang out with some of my old friends

My idea for this show was to sit down with Garth Wyckoff aka "THE WORM" and tell stories from our High School Years in the 1980’s... 

For this Episode, I'm hanging with WORM at KXFM… We're talking story about life in...

As you know, I have been away from the mic for the past three weeks. Scoring pow with the homies and ripping trails on my Mountain Bike. And in-between it all, I managed to get a lot of work done.
I'm calling this show "THE COMEBACK" and it feels good to do a live show again. I am especially proud of this set list. I hope you enjoy it.

This Episode is another away show. It's a cool mix of four bands from one of their albums -  playing four tracks in a row from each band.

Starting with Janes Addiction to FuManchu then into Amyl & The Sniffers and ending with WetLeg.
It's a glorious mix of Grunge Alternative sounds from amazing artists.

This Show is called - "The Fourth Dimension"

Enjoy.

For this episode, I did a pre-recorded show featuring musical artists from the The City of Los Angeles California.

Most of the tracks are Grunge and Punk tunes. I apologize for my weird sounding VO's, I was experimenting with a new mic - working out the kinks...

But the music sounds good, and that's what really matters.

Enjoy.

For this episode, I decided to mx it up. I wanted to feature a wide range of artists to express how diverse and amazing The Art of Music is. What sparked the idea, was the aftermath of Bad Bunny's Superbowl Half Time Show, where some of our Government officials went after Bad Bunny, threatening arrest and legal action against him - Simply becuase they didn't like his performance during the Halftime Show.

For me, this as more than an attack on Bad Bunny, I saw it as an attack on ART itself.

So for the intro...

So, for today’s episode, as advertised, I put together a set list of insanely cool instrumental tracks by various artists – mostly Grunge with a few classic cuts.  I’m calling this show “NO WORDS.”
or "Punk Rock Karaoke."

Enjoy

For this episode, we are driving on the Baja Peninsula all the way down to Cabo San Lucas. It’s a trip I did in the summer of 1982 with my old Pal Mr. Paul White aka Whito - who joined me in te studio for this show.

So we are taking you with us, in our dirty truck, with no AC and we are going to share some of our favorite stories from that trip… And as you listen to today’s Sonic Set list, I want you to imagine...  it’s the Summer of 1982, you're 17 years old, there wer...

I’ve been spending a lot of time on my snowboard… In The Mystic Mountains – scoring Fresh Pow turns with my friends…  It’s one of my favorite things in life to do… It’s a unique and addictive feeling that I call…  “FIRST CHAIR” And if you have ever had the chance to be on the first chair lift after a fresh dump of snow – you know what I’m talking about… You’re on a mission - you get up early, you get after it… You beat the crowds, get in line, grab that first chair and scor...
