Starting hard and fast with some punk and indie rock. Then moving through some danceable pop, folk, and easing you into your evening with a little R&B.

It's the second week of Return of the Pledge Drive! Sprinkled with horror soundtracks and tasty audio clips, this episode starts with some ska punk, travels through indie, punk, goth, and folk with a small tasting menu of hip hop and R&B. Enjoy!

You know that horror villain who always seems to come back no matter how many times he gets knocked down? This October, it’s the return of the pledge drive. We’re raising $60,000 to expand our coverage of radioactive monsters from outer space, improve our equipment to broadcast warnings of alien invasions, prepare for zombie apocalypse emergencies, and bring our teen radio program back from the dead. If Pirate Cat Radio is part of your world, come be part of ours. Please support us at KPCR.org/donate.

A good assortment of hip hop, funk, R&B, punk, ska, a dip into the heavier stuff and finish with some folk to send you on your way!

It’s an eclectic one! Started with some older stuff before bringing it back to today. Lots of darker rock and roll, punk, and we dip our toes into the 90s a few times. Enjoy!
