CLA Radio 01/04/13: Love (Hide The Razorblades)

  The next ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 01/04, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will be all about love and loss.

They tell you what you’re supposed to...

CLA Radio 12/28/12: Texas

  The next ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 12/28, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will be all about the Lone Star State. (Editor’s note: due to the holiday schedule, Duane will play an hour of Tejas music leading up to the show, and an hour plus of more Tejas tunes post CLAR! Join us in chat and listening to Duane FM at 6 PM!) Except for the introduction, a few comments after the first two songs, and a few brief show promos by some folks you may recognize scattered through the show, I’m going to let...
