August 20, 2021 00:40 - 5 hours - 343 MBYeah, been away for a month or so. Just wasn't in the headspace to put together a show.

July 12, 2021 08:46 - 3 hours - 257 MBThe heat has finally broken and I felt tonight was a good night to put together a show. Lots of old favorites and new gems in this four hour whopper.

#286 - "I Got Demons"
April 28, 2021 09:32 - 5 hours - 380 MBI realize, I was gone for like 6 months with nary a word, but I just needed a bit of time to sort of push through my own personal depression phase at all the shit that hit me last year, both COVID related and non. No, I didn't catch COVID, but I also haven't really seen almost anyone in over a year. I didn't travel back east to see family for Christmas. I haven't been at a concert in over a year. Hell, I haven't driven more than 20-30 miles in a year. The last time I was in SF proper was M...
#285 - "Wherever You Go"
October 30, 2020 08:52 - 3 hours - 223 MBSo it's the end of the month and I'm cramming out a 3+ hour show, so hopefully you enjoy it, because it's got a brand new track from Fury In The Slaughterhouse and their first new album in 13 years.

October 19, 2020 23:53 - 3 hours - 206 MBYeah, my regularity has been awful as of late, so here's a great big three hour show to make up for it. Also, RIP Eddie Van Halen.

#283 - "Only Good Things"
September 27, 2020 05:24 - 3 hours - 197 MBIt's been a bear of a month, and I'm sorry to say, I just haven't been in the mindset to record a show before now, but I was able to rally and put forth a show for the end of the month, a great big 3 hour bugger, so enjoy it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Carousels" - Doves "Ricochet" - The Mighty Lemon Drops "Gaia" - Blackmill "A Three-Legged Workhorse" - This Will Destroy You "bad age" - 65daysofstatic "I Only Said" - My Bloody Valentine "Patient Glaciers" - ...
#282 - "If You're Doing It Right"
September 04, 2020 08:20 - 2 hours - 141 MBI took a bit of time off, just to sort of mentally recharge my batteries. It's been a shitty month, a shitty year, and generally this year can go fucking die in a fire a thousand times over, but we gotta get through it. On the plus side, there's been some amazing new music released in the month or so (is that how long it was? Hell, I'm not even sure) since I released a new episode. A little over two hours, so enjoy. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Starwars" - Wingenf...

July 18, 2020 09:13 - 2 hours - 131 MBWe've been under quarantine for months now, so long I'm not even sure when the last time I hung out with a group of friends was. It feels like forever.

July 11, 2020 08:54 - 2 hours - 138 MBSo even if you don't normally listen to me talk in an episode (I know you're out there, skippers), please, take the time to listen to the opening of the show, just so you know where we stand. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Human" - The Music "Things'll Never Be The Same" - Spacemen 3 "Urpflanze" - The Shamen "Forgotten Sanity" - Curve "Rise The Midnight Girl" - Gunship "Samurai" - Juno Reactor "F-Talking" - Ummagma "Memory War" - Asian Dub Foundation "After Th...
#276 - "Love Me As I Am"
June 27, 2020 09:30 - 1 hour - 102 MBEnd of the month shows sometimes get a bit abbreviated, and this one is no different. Three hours spent talking about the history of funk means the last show of the month gets shortened by half an hour or so, but still, a new show for you to enjoy, including our friend Volker's 3 Miles To Essex project, and their single now available on all your other music platforms. Enjoy! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Empathy" - 3 Miles To Essex "I'm Allowed" - Buffalo Tom "Here I Am" - Dragon As...
#275 - "I've Lost The Will To Lose"
June 20, 2020 09:00 - 2 hours - 136 MBOr this? Does anyone read these messages? If so, please drop a line and say hi, especially if you haven't done so before.

#274 - Funk (1965-1986) (Scene Show/Deep Dive)
June 14, 2020 09:03 - 3 hours - 219 MBWith the passing of Little Richard last month, I decided I wanted to do a deep dive into funk. Turns out that's a pretty big topic, so this is a pretty big episode, and I wrap up in 1986, where funk starts to evolve into a bunch of other things. Take a listen, and if you enjoy and want a part 2 on funk, drop me a line. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy three hours on the history of funk! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Get Up" - James Brown "Love Rollercoaster" - Ohio Players "Hit...
#273 - "Battle Lines Being Drawn"
June 07, 2020 03:49 - 1 hour - 129 MBFeel like the whole world is on fire? Can't wait for the establishment to die the horrific gruesome death it so richly deserves?

No main show this week
May 27, 2020 20:12Taking a week off because of storage needs and the way the month is structured, but if you'd like a show, there's a new show up over at my Patreon, where for just $5 a month, you can get an additional show every week. Consider joining, it helps a lot! http://www.patreon.com/StarlightSociety - your support means the world to me. I'll see everyone next week.
#272 - "You Gave Me Power"
May 23, 2020 09:06 - 2 hours - 136 MBAll sorts of fun things here, including: a song I can't believe I've never played, a funk album from our friend Gero, a new remix from our friend Volker's 3 Miles To Essex project, and a handful of brand new things. Join us, won't you? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Cult of Personality" - Living Colour "Notorious" - RIZE "Violent Mood Swings" - Stabbing Westward "Rock of Mages" - Bang Camaro "Man" - Die Toten Hosen "Falling In" - Inhaler "Pow" - Larry Graham &...
#271 - "Fallen Empires Are Ruling"
May 15, 2020 07:54 - 2 hours - 133 MBSo this marks two months of lockdown, and while the idiot-in-chief thinks it's more important for people to work than to live, I absolutely disagree. Two hours of music to keep yourself sane to, coming right up... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Tiny Indoor Fireworks" - Biffy Clyro "Kings And Queens" - Aerosmith "Spitting Blood" - WU LYF "Accident Waiting To Happen" - Billy Bragg "When The Sun Rose Again" - Alice In Chains "(Am I) Confusing You" - Supercar "It's Good To Be...
#270 - "Strange Order Of Monsters"
May 08, 2020 08:30 - 2 hours - 138 MBBack to my usual late night madcap hijinx, here's another episode recorded post midnight, still under lockdown, trying not to go out of my damn mind. We also mark the passing of a soulful voice of a pop hit almost everyone has forgotten they know, and one of the legit founders of electronic music. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Always Forever Now" - Passengers "Curses, Invocations" - The Doors "Monument" - Ultravox "Like The Gods / K'mo Ha'elim" - Ethnix "The Great ...
#269 - "Not Forgotten Yet"
May 03, 2020 08:12 - 2 hours - 154 MBI've been doing this so long, I forget not everyone's been here since the beginning. So I do a reset and answer some basic questions about the show, while still spinning great tunes. -=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Splashdown (intro/outro)" - DJ Devinoch "Fireflies" -Buckethead "Heroes And Ghosts" - This Patch Of Sky "Superheroes" - Stormzy "Razor" - Foo Fighters "Backwards Glances (Acoustic)" - James "Stand Down Margaret" - The English Beat "Too Late (ft. LeBrock)" - Tim...
#268 - Visual Kei (Scene Show/Deep Dive)
April 28, 2020 08:48 - 3 hours - 230 MBI've been working on and off on this episode for a while, but I eventually decided I needed to not be such a perfectionist about it and to just admit that I'm probably going to get a bunch of things wrong in it. This week's show is about the Japanese subgenre known as visual kei, which, in many ways, isn't even an actual genre, more a loose association of bands based on a visual aesthetic. Anyhow, here's three hours walking me through some of the history of visual kei, many of the player...
#267 - "Small Doors Open To Big Rooms"
April 10, 2020 08:04 - 2 hours - 143 MBI'm still here. California is still standing. We aren't at the worst of the epidemic here in the United States, but it's pretty fucking bad, no lies. I worry for those in New York the most, who are currently hit the hardest. All that said, with all this darkness comes a little bright light. Fury In The Slaughterhouse released a new song today, and all the charity is going to Doctors Without Borders. It's your moment of Fury today, but you should go out and buy the song on your own as well....
RIP/Remembering shows
April 05, 2020 23:50And here's a list of all the RIP/remembrance shows I've done. When someone in music passes away, usually we'll play a single song of their in memory of them on that week's show. But for some people, it's just not enough. I also realized I wanted to sometimes do shows like these for people who passed away before I started doing the show, so those are included here also: David Bowie (Show #26) http://starlightsociety.libsyn.com/26-the-stars-look-very-different-today-rip-david-bowie Princ...
List of Scene Shows to date
April 05, 2020 23:42I realized I need an easy place to keep track of all the scene shows we've done, so here's that list: Madchester (Show #4) http://starlightsociety.libsyn.com/4-madchester-deep-dive Goth Rock (Show #12) http://starlightsociety.libsyn.com/12-goth-rock-deep-dive Shoegaze (Show #25) http://starlightsociety.libsyn.com/25-shoegaze-scene-showdeep-dive Psychobilly (Show #32) http://starlightsociety.libsyn.com/32-psychobilly-scene-showdeep-dive Intro to Prog Rock ('66-'77) (Show #3...
#266 - "These Are The Days"
April 03, 2020 08:37 - 2 hours - 143 MBSo I'm here. I think. Maybe. What day is it? Let's check the calendar. Huh. It's technically a Friday as I record/post this. I've barely been out of the house for three weeks. So I made this particular episode to remind me how a week works. Maybe it'll help you also. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Sunday Bloody Sunday" - U2 "Manic Monday" - The Bangles "Ruby Tuesday" - The Rolling Stones "Our Weekend Starts On Wednesday" - Hey Mercedes "Holy Thursday" - David Axelro...
#265 - "No Space To Rent"
March 27, 2020 09:32 - 3 hours - 257 MBSo I don't want to talk too much about the epidemic crossing the globe, but I will say we're still under shelter-in-place here in California, and that the US is now leading in cases of the virus. But all I can do is make music and hope it keeps people entertained. So enjoy a four hour show. Because hell, why not... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Good" - Akira The Don & Jocko Willink "Starve The Ego, Feed The Soul" - The Glitch Mob "I Will Survive" - Cake "It Was Onl...
#0 - "Some Time Alone"
March 20, 2020 08:36 - 2 hours - 153 MBSo on Sunday, the Bay Area (in which I live) issued a "shelter-in-place" mandate, meaning if you don't have to go out, DON'T. On Thursday, that order was expanded to the entire state of California. Because of that, maybe I'm going a little stir crazy. It's weird to see pictures of the Bay with no traffic anywhere, and to skip things that have been staples in my life, like pub trivia night or boardgame night. I've been doing what I can to stay in contact with friends/family via Facetime, ...
#263 - "Barb Wire Funeral Pyre"
March 06, 2020 02:47 - 1 hour - 134 MBJust a light cold, but I think I still sound pretty good, and this week's got lots of fun music to tickle your eardrums... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Twilight Campfighter" - Guided By Voices "Dying At Your Own Party" - Youth Group "Song 11 Could Take Forever" - Ned's Acoustic Dustbin "Open Letter To Duke" - Charles Mingus "Party In The CIA" - Weird Al Yankovic "Ganz Egal" - Udo Lindenberg "Chinatown" - Kitten "Throwaway" - The Posies "Third Eye" - Florence + The M...
#262 - "This Is The Sound That We Make"
February 28, 2020 02:09 - 1 hour - 131 MBSo we lead off with the brand new Biffy Clyro single, because, well, I love Biffy Fucking Clyro... but there's also a massive block of synthwave stuff designed to evoke the 1980s, which hopefully you'll love. And an RIP section for David Robuck, of Mazzy Star. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Instant History" - Biffy Clyro "Diesel Power" - The Prodigy "Unnatural Selection" - Muse "How To Make Money Out Of Saving The World" - Akira the Don ft. Terence McKenna "Brain Washed...
#261 - "A Little Too Far To Be Close"
February 20, 2020 23:44 - 2 hours - 142 MBSo this isn't a typical episode. The entire back half of the episode is dedicated to a Midwestern band that I've often felt deserves to be a bunch bigger. That band is The Samples. They're also on tour for much of this year, all over the whole country, even out here in California, so I'm going to see them live! Again! For the first time in 20+ years! You should too! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "It Might Get Dark" - White Denim "Funtime" - Iggy Pop "I Get What I Want" - Vi...
#260 - "You Shine Like Truth"
February 14, 2020 21:29 - 1 hour - 131 MBWell, I knew I wanted to wait until Friday to do the show, but I didn't do anything particularly Valentine's Day-ish for it. It's just another mix of music designed to tickle your earholes. Tell your friends about the show. Make them download it. I need to be loved. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Blister In The Sun" - Violent Femmes "Simmer" - Silversun Pickups "True Romance" - Motion City Soundtrack "Again I Go Unnoticed" - Dashboard Confessional "Bikini Porn" - Tove Lo ...
#259 - "Violent Society"
February 07, 2020 02:29 - 2 hours - 138 MBThe sun is starting to set on the American Empire, and our time as a banana republic seems to be oh so quickly approaching. We'll see if we can hold out. Maybe we'll bust out some guillotines. Those of us in the Deep State continue to be subversive. Get used to it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Generation Freakshow" - Feeder "Revolution" - The Beatles "Intro / Ugly Truth Rock" - Matthew Sweet "The Second Great Depression" - Manic Street Preachers "Welcome Home Armage...
#258 - Headed West Into The Black"
January 31, 2020 00:36 - 1 hour - 106 MBSo end of the month and that means the show is either too short or too long... this one's too short... It runs about an hour forty rather than the full two hours, but wanted to give you a show to enjoy none the less while our late-stage empire collapses here in the US... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "The Future Freaks Me Out" - Motion City Soundtrack "Dizz Knee Land" - dada "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (Live)" - Pink Floyd "Is It In You?" - The Charlatans "Fu...
#257 - "Paint-By-Numbers Dreams"

#256 - RIP Neil Peart (of Rush)
January 17, 2020 01:49 - 3 hours - 215 MBI hadn't really anticipated doing a scene show this month, but it turns out we lost one of the greatest drummers of all time, Neil Peart of Rush, a little over a week ago. If you aren't familiar with the powerhouse that was Neil Peart, I spend over 3 hours giving you a tour-de-force of the tour-de-force they called The Professor. In addition to being Rush's drummer, he was also their lyricist, writing so many incredible songs filled with sci-fi and fantasy imagery. For 40 years, Neil ...
#255 - "System Steals The Show"
January 10, 2020 03:25 - 2 hours - 139 MBIt's 2020. We made it into a new decade. Let's all hope it won't be our last. Anyway, this should rattle a few brains. It's an all over the map show with lots of variety to make you go "Whaaaaa?" And we pay tribute to the late Neil Innes, who made music that both made us laugh and knocked our socks off. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Setlist: "Benson Burner" - Satchel Grande "Darts Of Pleasure" - Franz Ferdinand "Cities" - Talking Heads "Driving Nowhere" - Paul Weller "My Sharona" - ...
#254 - A Year Of Concerts (Scene Show)
December 31, 2019 02:44 - 2 hours - 149 MBDidn't see as many concerts this year as I normally do. There was sort of a dry spell for a while in terms of shows, although to be fair, there were also a handful of shows I wanted to go see and just couldn't, because they were a) sold out, b) bought out by scalpers, c) happening when I was sick, d) happening when other shows I wanted to see were happening and/or e) thousands of miles away.
