Oakland's Jon Lawton releases Midnight with the Light On, his second LP release in under a year. This one's on the bluesy side with a full band, and complete horn section. If you connect with track 4, 6 or 8, you'll dig the whole thing. Rad album cover too! jonlawton.bandcamp.com/album/midnig...

Thinking of ditching your FB and/or IG accounts? (DO IT! DO IT!) The disorienting process is roughly 19 or 20 clicks/taps when you're on the right path, but it's very easy to go down the wrong path and get frustrated. Meta is counting on that! Here's my 1-minute step-by-step video! Pass it on!

Welp, if ya remember to tune in after the game tonight, be ready to chill!! Most of tonight's episode is a laidback mix of new Bay Area music and bands with upcoming local gigs. Dig it! 📻 7PM PST on 90.5 FM (Concord) streaming at KVHS.com 📺 10PM PST on CATV 26 (parts of CoCo County)

If you use Spotify, don't sleep on this ever growing playlist. Just 5 weeks into 2025 and it's already 90mins long, featuring new music from over 20 unique Bay Area bands and artists. All genres! Check it out, save the playlist, and share it with your friends. 🎶🤘🏻 open.spotify.com/playlist/1fp...

Musicians: If you've released music, but not on @bandcamp.com, why? As a reminder, it costs you nothing to do so, and the return on any purchases made is significantly greater than any other online retailer. Did you forget that distributors don't do that part for you? Are ya lazy? Anti? What is it?

Oakland/PDX artist Headnodic dropped a new album of fresh beats. You know you'll be hearing plenty of it under my voice during the DJ breaks on the show! Great background music, give it bump this morning! headnodic.bandcamp.com/album/sandca... #newmusicfriday

I've been really digging this Modesto release from H. Bemis. It's a very moody piece about a lighthouse keeper. Some cool ambiance, shiny guitars, dated ASMRy voiceovers about lighthouses, and some big Maj7 chords. Cool videos accompany it too. Check it out! hbemis.bandcamp.com/album/the-ke...

The new self-titled release from "above me" is kinda upbeat shoegaze with a little electro-dream-pop! "the eight-song EP is dreamy and hypnotic; noisy and esoteric; catchy and vibrant and encapsulates the soundtrack of a Northern California road trip." dandyboyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/above-me
