Even a relatively obscure Beach Boys tune. That was from 1965 from the Beach Boys Today album, Please Let Me Wonder. And we'll take this time to say happy birthday to Brian Wilson, who uh died a year ago. His birthday would have been June 20th. That song was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love. It was the first song Wilson wrote under the influence of marijuana. And it was about wanting to pretend that a girl loves him when he's afraid that she really doesn't. And by that time, Brian was already using the studio as his light thing. He was working with Glenn Campbell and the array of studio musicians that would work with him on pet sounds and smile. Before that, we heard a band out of Manassas, the Duskwales, from an album they did in 2017. I actually don't know what the name of the album is. I just have the single here. It's called Stable. Dusk Whales playing at the pie shop in DC on July 24th. And in Warrington at the old busted Rory. On September 26th. We started out with St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Their debut album in 2014 called Half the City. We heard Call Me. They are playing Capital One Arena on October 13th with Teddy Swim. And I don't swim actually. But you and I are listening to the world-famous Ready Kill the One Hour coming to you live from the studios of Radio Fairfax. A service of Fairfax Public Access in the wondrous Fairfax, Virginia.

She grew up in Arizona, or she went to college in Arizona, rather. Her dad was one of the original members of what became the Red Elvises, which is how I discovered her. Michaela is a multi-instrumental musician and filmmaker, and also a big fan of science fiction author and screenwriter Ray Bradbury. And she did a documentary about him and a short film in honor of his 100th birthday. This is Michaela Theoni. The song is called Whiskey and Ray.

Love on my mind. Waking up and thinking about changing my life last night in the dark. Get out of my head. From the ageless state of my mind. Just another maze. No way that it goes. Nobody knows. Killing the day, reading between the lines, going insane, drunk in the rain. Another page. Ghosts on a train. Killing the day with whiskey and ray. Chasing the dawn. Two boys on a roof. Nailing a line in run. Looking for something. Looking for something. Killing the day. Reading between the lines. Going insane. Drunk in the rain. Another page. Ghosts on a train. Killing the day with the whiskey and rain. Killing the day. Read in between the lines. Going insane. Drunk in the rain. Another page. Ghosts on a train. Killing the day with the whiskey and ray. Whiskey and ray. Whiskey and Ray. Whiskey and Ray.

From a film she did about Ray Bradbury when she was a part of the museum in Joaquegan, Illinois. She was on the board of that museum. She's a musician, filmmaker, and currently recording an album with songs co-written by her horse. I kid you not, you can visit her uh her Instagram, which is uh Michaela the Only, and you'll read about her involvement with a uh a nonprofit uh that uh does training of horses for uh writing by veterans and by other folks. So on that note, it is time for us to write off into the sunset. It's time to unplug the ready kilowatt hour for this week.
