THE KLBC EPISODES - #18: THE BOTTLED SPIRITS INTERVIEW

The Kitchen Sink is at it again; rocking the boat of March in celebration of another International Women's Day and Month this time with 50+ glorious minutes of music about the many, many women that make up the spectrum...from the men that love them. A testosterone-fueled collection of the good, the bad, and ugly that for better or for worse, will have your toes a tapping right along. With tunes by Joe Jackson, The Guess Who, Bell Biv Devoe, Billy Joel, The Rolling Stones, Styx, The Blasters, Cheap Trick, The Bee Gees, and Foreigner, the fun resides inside. Here, my dear...

The Kitchen Sink plays Rocky for Rocky, Toni "Rockalishous" Isbell, that is (details inside). And it's better digital than never after my 2016 VINYLTHON efforts fall totally apart. The Kitchen Sink asks...what songs, what LPs, did you completely wear out? Please feel free to share. Where it's all about the music...

My live and in-studio conversation with UMG recording star Genevieve Bellemare. No lie, this video is chock full of pops and scratches. I have just made a 2nd attempt at cleaning up and while this is a ton better...impurities remain. So, again, please try not to let them bother you too much because this really was a ton of fun to do. Ms. Geneviève Bellemare and guitarist Connor O'Shea visit The Kitchen Sink Podcast & Radio Show to talk about her album, MelancholyFever, their ties to the Pacific NW (Oregon State Beavers in the house), food (Voodoo Doughnut, Le Bistro Montage) and a whole lot more.

Because "it can't rain all the time"...WANNA BET! Recorded at KLBC Radio...edited at Santa Monica City College, here's another timely TKS episode from absolutely drenched southern California, The Kitchen Sink presents this water-logged collection of rain-inspired music for your precipitous pleasure. This one features music from Neko Case, The Weather Girls, Alice In Chains, Eddie Rabbit, Judy Garland, REM and a whole lot more. Break out your slickers and press play.

The Kitchen Sink invites you to come and get your ya-ya's out. We're bringing the hammer down on this 2016 International Women's Month with a collection of strong ladies that more than just celebrates. Press play to start releasing all that pent up anger and stress with the likes of Mae West, ADRON, Genevieve Bellemare, Aretha Franklin, Vasquez, The Pandoras, Dolly Parton, ZZ Ward, Elastica, The Pretenders, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Tracy Bonham, and Blondie. Where it's all about the joy of letting go.

International Women's Month continues on The Kitchen Sink as Kim Morris of The Thingz graces the "purple reign" studio at KLBC Radio. Kim helps "pop the top" on this first Monday episode of The Kitchen Sink as we discuss what it's like being a teacher by day and Rock-N-Roll bassist extraordinaire by night, Common Core, and what's next for these stalwarts of the Long Beach music scene. Want a taste of the Long Beach music scene? Well here it is...and all you have to is PRESS PLAY! You can purchase music from The Thingz on Bandcamp at www.thethingz.bandcamp.com. SHE'S A PIRANHA - OUT OF THIS WORLD TELL ME WHY, TROUBLE, & SHADOWS - TROUBLES BEGIN MOTHBALLS & BLOODMEAL - RED FUTURE

Besides being International Women's Month, March is (typically) the start of Roller Derby season and The Kitchen Sink decided what better way to kill two birds with one stone. So welcome to this, the first of hopefully many Kitchen Sink Southern California Roller Derby Reports. So come on inside to get caught up with the ladies of Beach Cities Roller Derby (BCRD), of Orange County Roller Derby (OCRD), and the Outlaw Renegade Rollergirls. Whether you know nothing about the sport, are a hardcore derby enthusiasts, or maybe you are just a little bit curious about what's going on in your neck of the woods...we've got you covered. Oh, and the music's pretty good, too.

The Kitchen Sink PLAYS SONGS FOR LOVERS and closes out the month of February in smashing style with a heartfelt, pop-filled episode rife with tales of seduction, broken hearts, and revenge. From The Pistol Annies and Carly Simon, to NIN and Liz Phair, it's 50 minutes of the kind of bittersweet romance and raw sensuality you likely know all too well. Special Guest include Cary Grant, Lindsey Crouse, Anne Bancroft, Joe Montegna, Richard Gere and many more. For your aural pleasure...

The Kitchen Sink helps you fight off those 'Christmas music blues' with this six string influenced holiday gift. It's the last TKS episode, the final KLBC Radio show, of the Fall semester and if, like me, you've already had it up to here with holiday music, then here it is. If you've got a thing for power chords and amazing riffs, then this is the one to shake loose those holiday doldrums. Featuring an angry Clark Griswold and other NSFW...seasonal expression, it's an hour long air-guitar workout that'll leave you sweaty, exhausted, and feeling cleansed. For letting me end your work week the right way over these past 9 episodes, the best to you and yours this holiday season and THANK YOU for continuing to spend some quality time. But now it's time to break out that dusty ol' air guitar and PRESS PLAY!!

It's quite literally all about the music in this one! No vocals allowed!! (...for the most part.) Classic arrangements from John Williams, Bernard Herrmann, and Henry Mancini, flow alongside great cuts from Southern Culture on the Skids, Pop Will Eat Itself, The Revels, Oasis, and more. Also including selections from local bands The Thingz, E Squared, Jesus Juice, and The Unpopable Trio. The perfect 'chill' podcast to calm your holiday nerves.
