Fanatic! I hope your week was buoyant and full of music. I’ve been getting in good vinyl sessions after work every single night. It’s been Joy Division bootlegs, the Bratmobile reissues, Station To Station, The Idiot, Machine Gun Etiquette, Music For Pleasure, the Cramps Live at Max's Kansas City bootleg and some of the more recent Wolf Eyes albums…

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 had a fantastic October. It was great but as usual, it was over too soon. Two albums by Bratmobile have been reissued. Girls Get Busy https://bratmobile.bandcamp.com/album/girls-get-busy Ladies, Women And Girls https://bratmobile.bandcamp.com/album/ladies-women-and-girls These are great records. Glad they’re back in print. Now d…

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…

Fanatic! A fall in-name-only 87F where I am currently. You can’t have it all. At least the nights are good. Some records you might want to check out on Bandcamp. Ekko Astral - Pink Balloons https://ekkoastral.bandcamp.com/album/pink-balloons Freak Genes - Delirik https://freakgenes.bandcamp.com/album/delirik Party Dozen - Crime In Australia https:/…

Fanatic. I hope the weather is stable where you are. Helene has impacted millions of lives. It’s going to be months before some parts of the country are back up and running again. Awful. Where I am is almost nonstop rain, a few branches down here and there. I saw some bad accidents on the highway yesterday. The new Freak Genes album Delerik is grea…

Fanatic! I’d like to lodge a complaint. It’s now well into September but the weather in my area is still peaking into the 90s every day. I want to somehow “reclaim my time” as they say. At least the early sunsets and the falling leaves somewhat indicate seasonal change. It’s frustrating but the weather is a little bigger than my Fanatic expectation…

Fanatic! I hope you had an amazing week. I don’t know what the weather’s like where you are but I’ve got falling leaves and high temperatures. It’s kind of like autumn and kind of not. Mentally, I’m done with summer and am ready for the next season. If you’re a fan of Les Rallizes Dénudés, there’s a new release on Temporal Drift called YaneUra Oct.…

Channel 2 reports, while many agree with the goal to cut down on the 123 thousand tons of discarded plastic bags in the state every year, a lot of residents in HB are hot under the collar that the ban wasn’t put on the ballot. They say if the city is worried about the beaches, they shou…
