I don't usually play bigger artists on the show, but I do listen to them. Because, of course I do! Great music exists on all sorts of labels with budgets of all sizes and some of the best music ever written and recorded is massively popular. No shame in liking it.

I say this because my current obsession is a song from a relatively big artist in the UK that isn't quite as big here yet.

You could say this song is just a mash up, a copy almost, of The War On Drugs and Arcade Fire and very clearly Springsteen. Maybe. Hell, Adam Granduciel produced it and this kid is very open with how important The Boss is to him. But these themes are timeless. And the song is so damn catchy, holy crap. This video is clearly from some town in the UK, but it would fit just as well blasting from your speakers as you fly down Route 9 or cruise Ocean Ave or tool along whatever roads the Butler brothers used to travel.

Given that next week's episode is featuring a fellow Garden Stater, another Gen X Jersey Shore kid who loves music, it's nice to hear something that sounds like home. Yes, it's the horns.

I just love it. It mades me feel happier every single time I hear it. And "happy" isn't a thing I do that often, so if it works for me...

‘People Watching’ (the single) out now!! Always felt like the right place to begin. Produced in L.A. with the legend that is Adam Granduciel. Enjoy xFrom our...

Hey Gorgettes, while GD Jr. has headed back to his fancy schooling, I've got great stuff lined up for the next three weeks. Which I'm working on when I'm not shoveling snow.

On 1/21, two hours of classic indie rock and Jersey Shore attitude with Lisa. She is a mover and shaker in politics and comms, but she and I go back to the days of sweaty high school parties. So we might just talk about that!

On 1/28, a grab bag of catchy, dancy, and moody with Kenan. He's got a straight job too, but GDRH isn't about commercial success so we will just talk about his sad late nights in dark mascara.

But first, on 1/14, I'm back in the studio, live and flying solo. I've got a whole pile of new music to kick off the year right. Some of these bands might be your new favorites, some of these tracks might lead you into the best albums you'll hear all year. You never know. Queuing up Squid, Twine, Blue Zero, hemlock, 22º Halo, and so much more.

Tune in this coming Tuesday, hell, EVERY TUESDAY, at 6PM EDT on Radio Fairfax.

Hope you've had a great start to 2025. The show is still on, although we haven't been able to put on a live one in a few weeks due to the holidays and all. This week is no different as the staff at Fairfax Public Access are taking a well needed break.

What I do know is that I've got two guests coming in this month and they've got some great tracks lined up to play for us. We might have a few fun stories thrown in too, so you don't want to miss it.

First up, my homie, The Friday Reporter, joins us for a retro show with lots of Jersey flavor. And then later this month, my pal Kenan comes on to give us a eclectic and thematic set from the 90s and 00s, but I have no idea what the theme is yet. We will find out together!

Tune in every Tuesday from 6-8PM EDT on Radio Fairfax! New shows next week!

You don't have to wait, though. If you want to hear the two hour party mix in advance, here it is:

Feel free to use it to power your own shindig, soiree, gathering, celebration, or hoedown.

Happy Holidays! While you are celebrating and all, the kid and I are cooking up shows for you. You might have checked out our Christmas Eve Special the other day, this photo is from our recording session.

We are heading in tomorrow to make another one for you, a dance party playlist to power your NYE plans. We will post it early and hope you enjoy it.

XOXO,
Gorgeous Dave & Son

GD Jr. is back and in studio with me tonight. We'll be doing a run down of our favorites of the year, what he named The Davies. It isn't an award show as we aren't doing a countdown, ranking, or anything like that. And, honestly, there are so many artists I would put on this list that I feel bad for those who got left out.

Tune in tonight @ 6PM EDT and hear some of the best stuff we heard this year. Hope you like it too!

Yeah, not a bad year for the show. A decent amount of downloads, which is really cool. It's interesting to see where people are listening, especially since the top cities are not places where I think I know anyone. How folks in this locales are finding GDRH is anybody's guess.

Top 5 Cities:

1. Kodiak, Alaska
2. Memphis, Tennessee
3. Dearborn, Michigan
4. Tel Aviv, Israel
5. Arlington, Virginia

That last one isn't a big surprise, but Alaska?!?

If you listen to the show in Alaska or Tennessee or Tel Aviv, let me know. I'd love to give you a shout on the show one of these days. Maybe even collaborate if you are interested.
