Racketeer Radio KFQX The New Golden Age of Radio
Algorithms & Anthems: Outside Lands' Upscale Uprising Outside Lands. Another year, another glorious, sprawling, slightly damp… event. Once upon a time, you might’ve muttered something about muddy fields, questionable portaloos, and the faint whiff of patchouli clinging to the air like a stubborn San Francisco fog. Now? Now we’re talking about the Golden Gate Club. The Golden Gate Club. Sounds less like a defiant howl into the wind and more […]
Trumpets, Terrors, & the Talkless Tale of LOUIS Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round the Victrola — or, for you modernist maniacs, swipe open whatever luminescent slab you carry in your pocket — for I bring you news so thrilling, so synesthetic in scope, it may cause a mild trembling of the knees and an overwhelming desire to drink absinthe at noon. The tour, dear listeners — THE TOUR — is […]
Portals of Possibility: Peering into Universal's Phenomenal New Park!” Universal has, with perhaps admirable, if somewhat noisy, ambition, presented what they term an "immense multi-theme park", touted as one of the "biggest new theme parks that's been made in a long time". The latest monolithic offering from the Universal entity. This "Epic Universe", you see, is presented as an "immense multi-theme park", heralded, somewhat breathlessly, as "one of the biggest […]
Salt Lake City's Dry Spell Gets a Repeal Salt Lake City. A place, let's be frank, that conjures images of… well, let's just say the nightlife expectations might typically involve a vigorous game of charades followed by an early night with a lukewarm herbal infusion. One pictures a certain… orthodoxy when it comes to leisure pursuits. A landscape, shall we say, less associated with the clinking of cocktail shakers and […]
SWA Goes DIY – Kinda Sorta Southwest Airlines. A veritable labyrinth of contradictions, a delightful tangle of upcycled leather and potential baggage fees. Perhaps Southwest Airlines isn't orchestrating a masterclass in publicity. Perhaps, instead, they're simply… trying things. Trying to balance the books, trying to appease shareholders, trying to appear socially conscious, and yes, perhaps, genuinely trying to do a bit of good. The "Repurpose with Purpose" initiative, then, might […]
A Clean Image with a Smokers Cough – WDFM Well, I’ll be hornswoggled! Here I am, traipsing through The Presidio – a place that’s seen its share of soldiering and we’re on the proul for the house of the mouse. A regular shrine to Mr. Walt Disney himself. A museum dedicated to the man who made a mouse a global sensation. It’s a caution, I tell you. Like finding a […]
Raisin The Riffs Greetings, listeners, from… Fresno! Yes, Fresno. The name conjures images of raisins. Let’s be honest, my expectations weren't exactly soaring. I pictured endless fields of sun-dried grapes, maybe a raisin-themed amusement park. I braced myself for… well, let's just say a raisin-fueled experience of questionable artistic merit. But, color me surprised! Fresno is… delightful. I'm here at the Sounds of Mardi Gras Fest, brought to you by […]
Jazz Fest Fever: Racketeer Radio KFQX Broadcasts LIVE from Monterey Jazz Bash 2025 Right then, gather 'round, you delightful oddities. It's that time of year again. No, not that time of year. Far more important. It's the 45th anniversary of The Monterey JazzBash. Yes! Forty-five years. (Pause for slightly bewildered applause, perhaps a single, hesitant "Bravo"). Racketeer Radio KFQX, your purveyors of vintage vibrations, are, dare I say, enthusiastic about […]
Fresno's Multifaceted Mardi Gras: Masks, Music, and Museums You think Mardi Gras is just beads and singining the blues? Wrong! Dead wrong! It's a chance to escape the LA smog, maybe see some actual stars in the sky, and definitely hear some killer tunes. Plus, they got parades! The Great Gatsby Parade, the Parasol Grand Parade, the Costume & Masquerade Parade– it's like a regular fashion week, but with more […]
