IR: San Francisco #8 – Music for Dusk, Candles, and a Glass of Wine

Music to relax by, peeps. Not a lot of podjockey chatter here. Just a lot of great music featuring mellow post-rock, dream-pop, shoegaze, electronica, and trip-hop styles. Kick off your shoes and enjoy, folks.

IR: San Francisco #7 – Seventh Episode Stretch

Wow–my longest episode to date. Stretching this one out to eight songs, a little blah blah, and some great lovin’ for these bands. Some more variety in this one, representing alt-americana, hard rock, pop punk, and all-around great tuneage.

IR: San Francisco #6 – Extra Super Genre Bleeder

Discard all preconceptions of what you think an IR: San Francisco episode is all about. We’ve got indie pop, pop punk, trip-hop, Japanese shoegaze, hard rock from the swamps, Irish pub crawling, and some political cut and paste collage. And new vocal equipment! You will not be disappointed: that is an order!

IR: San Francisco #5 – I am Sam: SAMIAM!

Well, I bought some new recording equipment but it didn’t work the way I wanted to, so I ended up using the old rig for this show. No matter, it’s all about the music, and the music on this show Kicks. Major. ASS. It starts off right with East Bay punk legends Samiam, and continues down a slammin’ path that will leave you breathless but wanting more. Or something like that.

Thanks to Sergie and the boys of Samiam, G at Hopeless Records, and all these bands for being super cool and super kick-ass.

IR: San Francisco #4 – Breaking the Rules

A slightly different format for you today, gang. Six rockin’ songs from SF, and somehow I still managed to time out at under a half an hour. Maybe it was all the talk on previous shows (and less talk on this one), but it’s all good. Or so I think, anyways!

Enjoy!
