For those who pressed play at exactly 10:20pm Sunday, THIS is how the playback of the opening of Saturdays ‘City of Night’ show synced with the NASA-JPL radio chatter during the Curiosity Mars Rover landing. That was a fun experiment, thank you to all who participated and listened along with us!

On this City of Night show Mr. Shovel features L.A. locals HAIM, PAPA, NO, Milo Greene, a tribute to Woody Guthrie and Bastille Day and more!
I’m pleased to announce that “City of Night” has been expanded to 3 hours beginning this Saturday 6/2 at the new time of 7-10 pm on 88.5 KCSN.

We lost another legend today.
Levon Helm of The Band will always be remembered by the songs and performances he left us. This version of “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” (with it’s powerful horn arrangements and vocals by drummer Helm) was immortalized in the Martin Scorsese film “The Last Waltz” which documents the final performance of The Band.
