Fanatic! I hope you had a great and music-filled week. For the most part, I’ve been tied to my desk doing a lot of scanning, proofreading, editing, and writing. I’ve also been able to get some records played. These are but a few. Naked Roommate – Pass The Loofah The Stooges – Rubber Legs The Stooges – Heavy Liquid The Damned – Machine Gun Etiquette…

Fanatic! I understand that the Thanksgiving holiday can sometimes be intense for some people who have to gather with members of their family who they might have strong disagreements with, spend hours with them, ending with a grand meal set at a table before all parties are allowed to stagger away fuming and go back to their respective dwellings. Th…

Fanatic! I hope you had a most excellent up-to-here with music week since we last got together on the radio. I’ve got my sleep cycle under a fair bit of control. I’m up early and have all or most of my desk work done by early evening, which allows me to get some records played every night. The listening has been tremendous. Jealous Yellow – Czech V…

Fanatic! I hope your week was buoyant and full of music. I’ve been getting in good vinyl sessions after work every single night.

Fanatic! So grateful to be able to bring you this music. I think with tonight’s show, we’ve struck the perfect balance and have made a great mixtape. The Bratmobile reissues of Girls Get Busy and Ladies, Women And Girls are out and they sound excellent. The Snooper / Prison Affair Split 7-inch record is really good. Each band has three tracks. It l…

Fanatic! I hope you’ve had a great week and had a chance to listen to a lot of music. I’ve been getting quite a bit in. The Damned at the 100 Club from July 1976 is a great bit of live early Damned. I got it years ago before it went out of print. It was reissued on Radiation. It’s an audience tape but all the music’s there. Drummer Rat Scabies is f…

Fanatic. I hope you had a great week of listening. I’d like to thank Fanatic Iosif for giving me the heads up on this: finally, after way too long (15 years), the one and only Dax Riggs has a record, 7 Songs For Spiders, slated for release on 01-24-25. The one song we can all hear, Deceiver, is a great return to form. Looking forward to this one. h…

Fanatic! I hope you’re having a great October wherever you are. I’ve been getting in some good listening. I don’t think we’ve discussed this before but I’d like to recommend a reissue of an old record. It took me a few years but I finally got the remastered version of Pink Flag by Wire. The band has their own label called Pink Flag and sell it on t…
