  announcements here for you. Some voices only

  make it onto the radio because community radio
• 15:03
  exists. I'm a good example of that. Pirate Cat
• 15:06
  Radio creates space for independent hosts, local
• 15:08
  musicians, artists, organizers, storytellers.
• 15:11
  and people with something real to say. From Los
• 15:14
  Gatos to Santa Cruz to Portland, our stations
• 15:16
  are built around the communities they serve.
• 15:18
  This July, well, July is over, but we were doing
• 15:23
  a pledge drive, but you can still join the Signal
• 15:26
  Society to help keep our voice on the air. Your
• 15:29
  monthly support helps make room for more voices,
• 15:32
  more music, and more radio that sounds like the
• 15:34
  places we actually live. Become a Signal Society
• 15:37
  member. Join at kpcr .org slash give. I am broadcasting
• 15:42
  to you from my studio in Santa Cruz. We have
• 15:45
  a studio in Los Gatos as well and one in Portland.
• 15:49
  Thanks for listening. When you stop to think
• 15:52
  about it, the life you've created for yourself
• 15:53
  sounds pretty great. So don't let a buzz take
• 15:55
  it all away. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A
• 15:58
  message from NHTSA and the Ad Council. Once again,
• 16:02
  I'm the dude. Let's introduce some of the music
• 16:04
  you just heard there. We started out with Nirvana.
• 16:06
  So those were all bands from Seattle that we
• 16:08
  just played. Started out with Nirvana. A couple
• 16:10
  of deep cuts there. That was Stain, which is
• 16:14
  from the Blue 12 -inch EP Import on Sub Pop Records
• 16:19
  around the time that Bleach came out. After that
• 16:22
  we played Even In His Youth, which is one of
• 16:25
  my favorite Nirvana songs, and that comes from
• 16:27
  the Hormoning Tour 12 -inch from Australia from
• 16:31
  91. After Nirvana we played some Hole. Do I need
• 16:35
  to explain the connection there? Probably not.
• 16:38
  The song that we played was Berry, and that's
• 16:40
  from the Pretty on the Inside LP. That's also
• 16:44
  an import, limited edition of 3000 on Blue Vinyl.
• 16:49
  Then we played some Mudhoney, also a Sub Pop
• 16:51
  band. That was The Farther I Go from their first
• 16:55
  LP on Sub Pop. And we finished it off with some
• 16:58
  Alice in Chains. That was an extremely rare deep
• 17:02
  cut. From the facelift recording days, but that
• 17:06
  song didn't make it onto the album That is killing
• 17:09
  yourself and that can be found on the we die
• 17:12
  young 12 inch single that came out before facelift
• 17:16
  My copy happened to be a promo copy. Maybe they
• 17:19
  all were I'm not sure but it came with a glossy
• 17:21
  8 by 10 band photo and a letter explaining Alice
• 17:26
  in Chains and so I wanted to Read just a little
• 17:29
  bit from that letter It says that Allison Chains
• 17:31
  is a brave, exciting, diverse, and intense new
• 17:34
  hard rock band on Columbia Records. Hailing from
• 17:38
  Seattle, Washington, Allison Chains are propelling
• 17:40
  themselves from a regional club setting to an
• 17:43
  international spotlight. One listen to the music
• 17:45
  will tell you why singer Layne Staley is powerful,
• 17:48
  his vocal phrasing borders on genius, and he
• 17:51
  is an expert at intricate lyrical twists. Guitarist
• 17:55
  songwriter Jerry Cantrell drives this band with
• 17:58
  a range of wild emotion on guitar in a paced
• 18:00
  solid almost surreal setting. Bassist Mike Starr
• 18:04
  and drummer Sean Kinney fuel a raging fire that
• 18:07
  roars. I had the privilege of seeing Alice in
• 18:12
  Chains with Layne Staley twice. The first time
• 18:14
  I saw them was in 1991 on tour with Van Halen
• 18:18
  at Shoreline. They opened up for Van Halen so
• 18:21
  that was when the Facelift album they were touring
• 18:23
  on that. What an amazing show. And then the second
• 18:26
  time was at San Jose State Event Center after
• 18:28
  Dirt came out. Both were just incredible shows.
• 18:31
  Laine Staley is one of my favorite vocalists,
• 18:34
  so we miss you, Laine. Rest in peace. Let's move
• 18:37
  on with some more music. Once again, you're listening
