i got to meet at the alamo in the fall of 2018 at his book signing and double feature of PHANTASM and BUBBA HO- TEP. next tues 8/13 i get to host PHANTASM II at and am excited to chat about this installment and its heavy sam raimi vibes and also the choice to cast one of my favorite blank stare actors of all time, james le gros. it’s been about a year since extended the opportunity of hosting some terror tuesdays (and occasional weird wednesday) and it may seem like a small thing but in my little world it’s big. i put a lot of energy into my program notes and it’s very fun and rewarding and gives me a space to connect with really wonderful movie nerds. so THANK YOU JAKE and ty to the homies who show up for those and give me feedback and laugh at my jokes. come out for PHANTASM II next week and then again when i host THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER on the 27th (a very fine film from LONGLEGS director oz perkins) ❤️🎥🍿🥹

was it the prettiest most up to date movie theater? no. but still, another place i grew up with, saw a lot of good and questionable films, and shared the space with many of my close friends, family, including my kids. bye bye UA on shattuck. berkeley is an unfortunate place. 😒

it has been a long three and half years since i stepped into this role. it has been challenging, rewarding, and sometimes straight up maddening to help run this station. feeling so seen and loved by my colleagues after last night’s holiday party (our first irl one since 2019!!!) this place is something special and it has literally changed the course of my life. even on the hardest day i am so so lucky to be here and to have this job. eternally grateful to all my kalx peeps. THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

it’s time to donate and get cool stuff!

It's time to celebrate KALX's 60th Anniversary! Donate and get special anniversary swag as thank you gifts starting tonight at midnight! The fundraiser will be active through November. Please support your KALX, we love you! ❤️ ❤️ Our white t-shirt design for this fall comes from Loren Salas Thomas. A message from Loren:

"As a musician and lover of radio, KALX’s weird and wild programming made me feel at home when I arrived in Oakland a decade ago, drawn from So Cal by the East Bay’s music/art scene. To my ears, KALX hacks away at all expectations with a sincerity that benefits everyone who tunes in, anywhere, anytime.

Channeling KALX’s untamable energy, I had this design vision of a chainsaw sparking off a portable radio. My friend restores old chainsaws and his enthusiasm is infectious, so I based the chainsaw on one of his favorite 'lil rippers.' I used bold printmaking colors to throw a contemporary style onto the vintage objects, zapping them to life. Thank you, everyone at KALX!"

Thank you Loren! We can't wait to see these shirts sported all around town!

just popping on main to say some people really forgot their manners in the last couple of years. i get it. i lived through it as well. it’s been a long road. this is simply a friendly reminder that being NICE always works better than being an as***le! almost all of us are doing the best we can, most of the time. assume positive intent! this job is a “cool” job and i’m grateful for it. it’s also still a job and in the last year and even quite recently i’ve been met with a real lack of grace and patience. my response to even the rudest or most self involved people is to well, continue to be nice, even when it takes all of my energy to do so. so before you send sh*tty emails or unleash your litany of complaints and opinions, maybe just like think twice. in the words of a great man and hero to all — just be nice, until it’s time to not be nice. usually that time comes much later than you think and often it can be avoided entirely 🥰
