  now exists because someone decided local radio

  was still worth making. Pirate Cat Radio gives

  independent hosts, musicians, artists, and community
• 10:50
  voices a place on their air across Los Gatos,
• 10:53
  Santa Cruz, and Portland. But independent radio
• 10:56
  needs independent support. We are doing a pledge

  in that last block of music. We started with

  a band called death I'm sure you've heard of

  them. That was zombie ritual from the scream
• 41:07
  bloody gore LP arguably the first Death Metal
• 41:12
  LP ever released. That was on Combat Records.
• 41:16
  I believe it was 1985 that came out. After that
• 41:20
  we heard some Morbid Angel. That was Chapela
• 41:22
  Gules from the Alters of Madness LP. That's on
• 41:27
  Earache Records. Good classic Florida Death Metal.
• 41:31
  Speaking of Florida Death Metal, after Morbid
• 41:33
  Angel we heard some Deicide. That was from the
• 41:36
  self -titled LP. The song was called Lunatic
• 41:38
  of God's Creation. That's on road racer records
• 41:42
  I'm gonna talk as little as possible so that
• 41:45

• 58:49
  92 .9 FM in Los Gatos. Or waiting for the Moon
• 58:53
  Cycle to start your playlist on KMRT LP 101 .9
• 58:57
  FM in Santa Cruz. KBBE LP 91 .1 FM up in Portland.
• 59:02
  Yes, that Portland made fresh daily by local
• 59:04
  musicians and Moon Cycles. Live from NPR News
• 59:11
  in Washington, I'm Linda Kenyon. The Senate has
• 59:14
  narrowly approved Todd Blanch to serve as the
• 59:17
  new U .S. Attorney General. NPR's Franco Odornez
• 59:21
  reports the vote puts President Trump's former
• 59:23
  personal lawyer in charge of the Justice Department.
• 59:26
  Blanche overcame a final hurdle after securing
• 59:29
  key support from Republican Senator Bill Cassidy
• 59:32
  of Louisiana. It's a major win for Blanche, but
• 59:35
  also for President Trump, who gets his person
• 59:37
  in the top job. It also ends a rough few weeks
• 59:41
  of party infighting over the nomination between
• 59:44
  Trump and Senate Republicans. Now it's a tough
• 59:47
  job and some Republicans remain concerned about
• 59:50
  Blanche's independence. Trump has pressed for
• 59:53
  the department to go after his political enemies.
• 59:55
  And as acting Attorney General, Blanche had moved
• 59:58
  swiftly.
