A Season in Hell #18: Happy Obligatory Holiday Greeting

johnhell — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 20:53:47 GMT

Hey there party revelers.

Tune in Monday night 6-midnight (PST) to A Season in
Hell, with John Hell, on Pirate Cat Radio 87.9fm in SF
and LA, 104,8fm in Berlin, online at
http://piratecatradio.com for the first John & Ron Ass
Kickin' Holiday Rock Bout!!!

I have challenged my good friend, and world famous
concert poster artist Ron Donovan
(http://www.firehouseposters.com/ &
http://homepage.mac.com/yosquirt/PhotoAlbum7.html) to
a six hour duel of who has the best live (read:
bootleg) recordings. I know I'm going to kick Ron's
ass, but I thought it better to make him think he has
a fighting chance.

Ron is nervous too. He text messaged me after midnight
saying he was going to "slay me" during tonight's
show. He was obviously up all night biting his nails.
Get any sleep Ron? You'll need it.

This is without a doubt, the best way to spend your
X-Mas eve. Forget the family, put out the cat, and put
on your hair swinging shoes.

Expect everything from Punk to Prince, Parliament to
Polka. Well, not polka. But we do have many genres
covered.

As always the show will be archived on the Pirate Cat
website. Just click here:
http://www.piratecatradio.com/playlist.php?dj=hell
and look to the right under "podcasts" Click on the
date, which will say "12-25-07". There ya go. If you
tune in live, call in at 415-626-6180.

I'll post the exact links to the podcast following the
show here and on my blog, http://helkatt.blogspot.com,
where I'll also post the full and complete set list.

See you on the radio!!!

A Season In Hell #13: Theme From A Season In Hell

johnhell — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 22:34:58 GMT

A Season In Hell #13: Theme From A Season In Hell

Sometimes I get nostalgic. I moved a lot in my life, an average of once every two years. I went to ten schools in thirteen years (K-12), and the one thing that was a constant was music. Music and TV. The two things that were constant were music and TV. And family. The three…three things that were constant were music, TV, family and the ever increasing amount of sarcasm that made it into my humor.

I made it down for the weekly KFJC (http://kfjc.org) staff meeting this past week, for the first time in about seven years. I’m hoping to do a show a month there. I’ll keep you posted.

With that I bring you this latest episode. If you’re a fan of nighttime police dramas, then you’ll enjoy this show.

Also, I recently saw Radio Moscow play 12 Galaxies in SF (http://www.12galaxies.com/flash.html). Check out their MySpace page, and support live music. I also have a few San Francisco artists in this show, including punk polka faves Polkacide, the Japanese yodeling cowboy Toshio Hirano, and Sesame Street cover band Cookie Mongoloid; you’ve never heard anything like them before.

A Season In Hell #12

A Season In Hell #12: Waiting for the Man

***Warning*** Because of the need for server space, I will be removing Episode #1 and possibly #2 by Thursday, August 2nd, 2007. You have been warned.

I spent a year in DC last week. I was there for an education conference, and I had the luxury of seeing the New York Dolls perform at the legendary 9:30 Club. The club has been open since the 70’s, but obviously in a very different location. What a great club; amazing sound and stage. The Dolls were incredible too. Only Sylvain and Johanson are alive from the original lineup, but the rest of the band seriously kicked ass. They have a new CD out, go get it.

I got to walk “The Mall”, which is the federal gov’t area. Quite impressive, even if you don’t like the schmuck who lives in the white house right now.

This week I include some early NY Dolls. I also have some live tracks from Tom Waits with the Kronos Quartet doing the theme to my favorite show: “The Wire”. If you haven’t seen this great police drama on HBO, you’re missing the best written show on TV. Some live Lou Reed shows up near the end of the podcast today. A real rarity is included in the guise of Neil Young. He never released “Chrome Dreams”, but all of the music made it on to something eventually. This version of “Powderfinger” never did.

I hope you enjoy the show. Please leave a comment on the website: http://johnhell.podomatic.com and tell your friends about thee show by clicking the “send to friends” link on the page.

Thanks.

John Hell

A Season In Hell #4: Everthing Goes To Hell

johnhell — Fri, 11 May 2007 22:26:09 GMT

Howdy radio fans.

I've just posted my latest podcast: A Season In Hell #4: Everything Goes To Hell.

It runs about an hour. It's certainly not the same as radio, but I do try to make it sound like it is. It lacks the spontanaiety of radio that I miss so much. Other than that, I get to turn you all onto music that I love. I found some good new sounds to mix with some tasty classics from my collection.

Find the podcast online here:
http://johnhell.podomatic.com/

And on iTunes here;
http://johnhell.podOmatic.com/rss2.xml

Tell your friends. Also, send me a note if you have any requests or suggestions. I'm just getting warmed up.

Enjoy.

Doin It To Death

johnhell — Wed, 02 May 2007 06:47:58 GMT

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am so pleased to announce my triumphant return to…dang, that sounded a bit blech! Let me start over.

Good friends:

You’ll be happy to hear…like I’m expecting you all to slap me on the back or something. Ok, I’ll get it right this time.

Party People:

We’re going to have a funky good time at KFJC 89.7fm (http://kfjc.org), this Thursday, May 3rd from midnight to midnight, with the long anticipated 24 hour “Doing It To Death, A James Brown Birthday Special”, featuring live & rare recordings, interviews, dance contests, fashion show, testimonials and tributes. Hosted by Myself, Spliff Skankin, Hawkeye Joe, KJ Dweller, Mr. Lucky & more.

I’ll be on from 8pm to midnight, bringing the show to its absolute climax with some rare JB’s James Brown instrumentals, and some serious live James Brown you have not heard anywhere!

I hosted several radio shows at KFJC between 1988 and 1997 under the air name Reverend Dah Wave, including a mid-day Jazz/Soul/Funk show, where every day from noon to noon-thirty it was “The Brown Bag Lunch”, 30 minutes of Mr. Please, Please, Please itself. I haven’t done a show there since 1999. It’s the best station in the West, and other than the great WFMU, the tops in all the land.

If you’re close to Foothill JC, in the SF Bay Area, tune in to 89.7FM, if you’re outside the area, please do yourself the favor and tune in any time during the show. Remember: midnight to midnight. You have no excuses.

Now, go on out and do you thang!

John Hell
Aka: Reverend Dah Wave (at least for one more night)

johnhell — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 18:59:16 GMT

Howdy all.

So I've been truly jonesing to do some radio for the
past few years. I mean really jonesing badly. Today I
found this site that will host some podcasts, so I
figured why the hell not.

The first one is mostly music, with me blathering for
a few minute between tracks. To be honest, I recorded
it on my MAC, via Garageband and iWeb last summer, but
I hadn't done anything with it until now.

I promise to put some effort in at least once a week.

Please subscribe to the podcast, by copying the URL

Thanks.

FCC Hearings Oct. 27 Oakland!

johnhell — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 21:53:19 GMT

Happy Halloween!!

This Halloween we have a real ghoul on our hands! The rule relaxations of 2003 are being re-proposed and we need to give the FCC a peice of our minds AGAIN!

The FCC is coming to Oakland October 27, 5 pm!
This is the only hearing in the Bay Area dealing with corporate media consolidation and lack of diversity in the media. The FCC wants to allow Big Media to own more TV and radio stations in the Bay Area and to allow newspaper companies to buy TV and radio stations as well. Stop the monopoly!

Please come to hear from others and speak up. Spread the word!

WHAT: FCC Hearing on Media Ownership
WHEN: Friday October 27, starting at 5 pm
WHERE: Oakland Marriott City Center, 1001 Broadway at 10th St (BART Oakland 12th St, map)
Sponsored by the NAACP, Media Alliance, the Youth Media Council, and Free Press
(more info at www.media-alliance.org)

This is Why the FCC Needs to Hear from You!

There's no diversity in TV
• NBC's Telemundo announced last Friday that it will close its San Jose studio and it will no longer offer local news in the Bay Area.
• Out of an estimated 12,500 stories aired by ABC, CBS, and NBC in 2005, the three major English-language networks, only 105 were exclusively about Latinos or Latino-related issues.
• People of color comprise 33 % of the entire U.S. population, but own about 3% percent of all TV stations in the U.S. Clear Channel spreads hate in the Bay Area
• Clear Channel exploited a loophole in this rule and owns 11 radio stations in the Bay Area market (San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland).
• Clear Channel owns 910AM KNEW, a right-wing talk station notorious for its sensational content. The Youth Media Council and Media Alliance monitored KNEW and found numerous incidents of hateful speech. For example, talk hosts used the word 'vermin' to refer to undocumented immigrants more than 43 times in one 40-minute segment.
There's a monopoly in Bay Area print
• One company (Dean Singleton's MediaNews) now controls more than 40 daily and weekly newspapers in Northern California—from Monterey to Marin--including the San Jose Mercury News, the Oakland Tribune, the Contra Costa Times, the Monterey Herald, the Marin Independent Journal. In other words, every major daily except for the SF Chron, the Examiner, and the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
• Singleton's company has already announced over 100 layoffs in the Mercury News; more to come in the Contra Costa Times.
NOW THE FCC WANTS TO REWARD THE TV NETWORKS, CLEAR CHANNEL, AND DEAN SINGLETON WITH MORE AND MORE STATIONS.

STOP THE MONOPOLY!

Starting a net radio station

... — Mon, 07 Mar 2005 00:33:12 GMT

Hi,

I want to start an internet radio station.

I want to have a mixer with two turnables, a CD player and a PC (to play MP3s) as inputs, and which outputs to monitor speakers, and to the same PC, which will broadcast the stream. I want to use Linux on the PC because it handles network stuff more efficiently than Windows or Mac.

I'm going to try Peercast for broadcasting, because I can't afford to pay for a lot of bandwidth. Peercast, although definately still in beta stage, seems to be getting more robust, and I think it should work ok. (I'm listening to a stream now, and there's no problems.)

The main problem for now is that I need to find a decent Linux program for mixing MP3s. Nothing too fancy like Ableton Live, but I would like it to be able to control the pitch, and to play 2 tracks at the same time, and route one to headphones, and the other to the main output. Something like Native Instruments Traktor DJ Studio would be ideal. I could run Traktor on my Windows box, and then route the stream to the Linux box using VLC, but that would create another layer of complexity, and the Windows machine is across the room from my turntables, and I want everything right in front of me.

Perhaps I should just run Windows on the broadcasting box, but I feel Linux would provide a significant increase in speed. Windows, though, would also let me run SAM Broadcaster, which I will probably end up needing to do anyway.

One other thing, I also need a name :). I want to play a wide variety of music -- I like to think I have fairly good taste -- but I would concentrate on new and unclassifiable electronics. I want it to be ecletic, some hard dance tracks, ambient/film music, and a touch of goth rock and industrial.

Any comments, suggestions, or criticisms?

Free Web Music/Radio Player - add to your own web page

vegas215 — Tue, 24 Feb 2004 05:21:24 GMT

I am just about finished on a new web site that should be of particular interest to musicians:

http://player.itvfan.com/intro
http://player.itvfan.com/

Examples:

http://members.cox.net/o12/
http://player.itvfan.com/test2/

I started this project to make it easy for a musician friend in San Diego to demonstrate his guitar chops online, in an effort to form a new rock band. By having an embedded web music player on his own web page with some samples of his guitar playing, he could narrow down the selection/auditions/phone calls required to form his new band.

I decided to make it even more useful to both musicians and others, by adding 14 internet radio stations and the ability to play music CDs from the computer CDROM drive.

It's free, so feel free to let others know.

SFLR wins an award

johnhell — Thu, 19 Feb 2004 18:44:52 GMT

Believe it or not
SFLR has won an award
from the Society of Professional Journalists.
See the press release below for all the details.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Feb. 15, 2004

David Greene
Co-chair, Freedom of Information Committee, SPJ NorCal
(510) 208-7743
dgreene@thefirstamendment.org

SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS HONORS "PENTAGON PAPERS" DANIEL
ELLSBERG WITH 2004 JAMES MADISON FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AWARD

KPIX's Ken Batista and KFOG's Peter Finch to Emcee March 16 Event

The Society of Professional Journalists, Northern California Chapter,
is
honoring author and activist Daniel Ellsberg, the former Pentagon
analyst
who leaked the "Pentagon Papers" in 1971, with its Norwin S. Yoffie
Career
Achievement Award for his lifelong commitment to combating government
secrecy.

Ellsberg and 13 other James Madison Award winners will be honored at a
dinner ceremony on Tuesday, March 16, 2004, at Sinbad's Restaurant,
Pier 2,
San Francisco. Tickets for the dinner cost $45 for SPJ members, $55
for
non-members, and $40 for students. For information about the awards
dinner,
call (510) 540-8973.

A complete list of this year's winners is below.

The James Madison Freedom of Information Awards, named for the

organizations,
public officials, and private citizens who have fought for public

concern.
Award winners are selected by the Northern California Chapter's Freedom
of
Information Committee. The Norwin S. Yoffie Career Achievement Award

* * * * *

2004 JAMES MADISON FOI AWARD WINNERS

NORWIN S. YOFFIE CAREER ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Daniel Ellsberg
In the 33 years since his release of the Pentagon Papers, Ellsberg has
continued to write and lecture on the dangers of excessive government
secrecy. In 2002, he published "Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the
Pentagon Papers," which exposes the official culture of secrecy and how
it distorts the policy-making process. For a generation, Ellsberg's
courage in leaking the Pentagon Papers has served as inspiration for
countless other journalists, whistleblowers, and freedom of information
advocates in their own battles against government secrecy.

JOURNALIST

Kim Curtis and Robert Porterfield, Associated Press
Curtis and Porterfield made extensive use of the Public Records Act in
investigating California's compliance with Megan's Law. They ultimately
discovered that the state had lost track of more than 33,000 convicted
sex offenders. The report prompted newspapers in several states to
investigate their own state's compliance.

NEWS MEDIA

1. Modesto Bee
The Bee receives this award for its extensive efforts to preserve
public access to police and court records and proceedings in three
high-profile investigations: the Laci Peterson case, the criminal
investigation of the Modesto mayor, and the arrest of a gang of home
invaders. The Bee acted both on its news and editorial pages and in the
courts.

2. Red Bluff Daily News
The Daily News receives this award for its extensive use of the Public
Records Act in investigating, reporting and editorializing about a
secret employment termination settlement between the City of Red Bluff
and its former police chief. The Daily News took the city to court and
forced the city to acknowledge the existence of a settlement agreement
and to disclose large portions of it.

3. The (Vacaville) Reporter
The Reporter is recognized for the comprehensive public records
compliance audit it performed and for running a series of articles and
editorials regarding its results. Using community volunteers, the
paper
carried out over 50 requests over a two month period.

4. ANG Newspapers, The (Hayward) Daily Review, Oakland Tribune ANG
Newspapers receives this award for the efforts of its publications in
aggressively pursuing access to governmental records and court
proceedings. Specifically recognized is the Daily Review's pursuit of
Hayward Unified School District internal investigation records after
two
district administrators were seen destroying agency records, and the
Oakland
Tribune's efforts to unseal court records.

COMMUNITY MEDIA

1. San Francisco Bay View
The Bay View is recognized for uncovering critical issues in the
African American community frequently missed by many mainstream
publications and for defending the public's right to know about issues
ranging from police violence to environmental racism.

2. San Francisco Liberation Radio
SFLR receives this award in recognition of its fight in defense of
broadcast freedom in the face of the seizure of its equipment by
federal
and local law enforcement in October 2003. SFLR has for years been a
strong proponent of low-power FM broadcasting.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL

Sen. John Burton and aide Rodger Dillon
Senator Burton and his staff member Rodger Dillon receive this award in
recognition of their efforts in successfully shepherding the Sunshine
Amendment through the Senate and onto the November ballot. If passed,
the Sunshine Amendment will significantly strengthen the public's
freedom of information rights.

ELECTRONIC ACCESS

U.S. Court of Appeals for Ninth Circuit and its Public Information and
Community Outreach Program, David Madden, Public Information Officer
The
Ninth Circuit and its Public Information and Community Outreach
committee receives this award in recognition of its community outreach
efforts to educate the public about the operation of the court, bring
together court officials and the media, and ensure optimal public and
media access to court records and proceedings. The Court is due
special
recognition for facilitating the live broadcast of the oral arguments
on
the challenges to the 2003 gubernatorial recall election.

CARTOONIST

Cartoon Art Museum and Rex Babin, Sacramento Bee The Cartoon Art Museum
and Rex Babin, the editorial cartoonist for the Sacramento Bee,

SAVE THE DATE: SPJ's WEST COAST MULTICULTURAL WRITER-EDITOR MAGAZINE
CONFERENCE takes place this July in San Francisco. Not a job fair, not
a
beauty contest, the conference is the place for experienced
professional writers to develop relationships with top editors from a
variety of participating national magazines. In our one-on-one
sessions,
writers will meet with editors in 20-minute interviews to find out
magazine needs, pitch ideas, and get immediate feedback. We'll also
feature five career-building sessions on topics such as managing
finances, negotiating a great contract and rate, and understanding the
magazine market. We close with a networking reception where you can
meet
more editors, trade tips with other writers,
and develop lasting relationships that could earn you money.
Applications due May 1. For information, contact Sally Lehrman at
slehrman@bestwrit.com.

Chants

Sarus — Mon, 19 Jan 2004 20:53:30 GMT

I'm interested in Gregorian and other chants. Anyone know of a radio station out there that does them.

Trance and House are cool (love proton radio) but sometimes you just need 25 celibate guys singing in a language you don't know...
