KXLU

This weekend, take the Pleasure Seekers figuratively, not literally.

Please be sure to wear a mask when venturing into public.

In the immortal words of Jim Dunfrund, "Summer is not a season, but a state of mind." Which is why you're looking at a picture of Gillis, taken in February, placed upside down.

Many thanks to Reverend Dan for creating this graphic to celebrate my return to the airwaves! As a reminder, during these quarantimes, you can listen to Music for Nimrods LIVE on Wednesdays, from 3 to 6 pm, as the Good Reverend broadcasts from his rectory right here on KXLU.

After a ten week virus hiatus, the Bomb Shelter will return on Friday, May 29, broadcasting live from Timewarp Records on Venice Boulevard. Just one day ahead of two notable milestones: my daughter's 8th birthday, and my 32nd anniversary as a KXLU deejay!

KXLU continues to auto-program, so there is no Bomb Shelter tonight. Happy Easter!

Rare is the song that didn't just sound great in the hands of the man who wrote it, but in the hands of various people who covered it. Whether it was Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Roy Ayers, Ken Boothe, Horace Andy, or Bill Withers himself, I have never tired of playing "Ain't No Sunshine." Rest in peace, Mr. Withers.

Due to the pandemic crisis, KXLU will continue to broadcast on auto-programming only through this weekend and to the next. There will be no Bomb Shelter tonight, or on April 10th.

I pray that there will once again come a day where paltry, blown out surf is my biggest concern of the morning. But today is not that day. KXLU is broadcasting on auto-programming through March, so there will be no Bomb Shelter tonight.

In simpler times, this would have been the second night of our annual Fundrazor. Alas, due to the worldwide health crisis, KXLU is broadcasting on automated programming for the last two weeks of March. As such, the Bomb Shelter will not be heard tonight, or on March 27. In lieu of filthy lucre, a prayer to St. Anthony would be deeply appreciated.

Tonight is the rare night when you can hear the Mummies on the air AND live in person -- they're playing a SOLD OUT show at Alex's Bar in Long Beach.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to LMU basketball, tonight's Bomb Shelter will start late, but will NOT be entirely pre-empted. Expect to hear the Mummies between 8:05 and 8:20 instead of 8:00 on the dot, but you will hear it, stay tuned.

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to...

In honor of this being the last show of my 40s, tonight's show will go to 11.

Happy birthday, dear Rollins, happy birthday, to you! And a happy Valentine's Day to the restayall.

Not our usual fare, but Andy Gill was cooler than most. And "What we all want" was pretty funky. Rest in peace.

New wheels. Same old records.

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Words to live by.
