Fanatic! I hope you are having a great weekend, wherever you are. I’ve been getting in as much music as possible, but I’ve been spending up to 12 hours a day proofreading and editing.
There’s a new Osees album called Abomination Revealed At Last coming out on August 8.
https://ohsees.bandcamp.com/album/abomination-revealed-at-last
The new XYZ album XYZ Plays The Classics is available now. So far, I’m not seeing it on Bandcamp. But I did find some copies on Discogs.
https://www.discogs.com/release/33736959-XYZ-Plays-The-Classics
I listened to the remastered Unrest album Perfect Teeth again last night. It sounds great. If you’re a fan of this record and haven’t heard this new mastering, I think it’s really worth it.
https://unrest.bandcamp.com/track/goodbye-2025-remaster
This isn’t coming out until October but it’s still something to look forward to: Lorelle Meets The Obsolete have a new album, Corporal. I have a few tracks from it but have not heard the whole thing. What I’ve heard so far sounds really cool. https://obsoletelorelle.bandcamp.com/album/corporal
We have what you will hopefully find to be an excellent gathering of tunes for tonight. Yesterday, we put the finishing touches on next week's show. It’s going to be a great one. Make sure to maintain a healthy hydration level and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and had a chance to listen to some music. The last several days, besides working on upcoming radio shows, have been relatively low on music for me. I’m in a deep trench of proofreading, editing, and rewriting. Hopefully, I’ll get some time to listen to some records next week.
Looking forward to hearing this. A new album by the Osees!
https://ohsees.bandcamp.com/album/abomination-revealed-at-last
Also, a new album by Guerilla Toss coming out in September. We have a track from it in our second hour.

Fanatic. I hope you had a great week. We’ve put together what you will hopefully find to be two hours of great warm weather listening. I know in places like beautiful Australia, the temperature might not be anything like what it is in parts of the USA right now, but hopefully these tunes will provide a great soundtrack nonetheless.
Thank you so much for tuning in. We try to make the show great every week and we appreciate that you take the time to check it out.
Have a great weekend and stay Fanatic.

Fanatic. Two true music legends have passed: Sly Stone and Brian Wilson. It’s possible you’ve never heard the work of one or either of these two amazing artists but at this point that’s highly unlikely, which is a testimony to the impact they had on modern culture.
As a young person, I heard a lot of music by Sly And The Family Stone but it was only as an adult that I got a better understanding of his true brilliance and learned about his often bewildering mercurial behavior. At one point, he became almost as famous for not showing up to a show as actually arriving and performing.
There’s a really interesting version of Sly’s album Fresh that’s worth pursuing. Apparently, alternate takes were mistakenly released commercially on CD. I was lucky enough to find one of these. Some of these alternate takes were released officially years later, but I’m not sure if they’re the same alternate takes. I know that sounds confusing. I think at one point we might have listened to the two versions of Babies Makin’ Babies on our show. My mother had very good taste in music and we had a few Sly records at the apartment, which she played regularly. As an adult, I found the records and understood them much differently. The more you listen, the better they get.
Many years ago, Ian MacKaye played me a VHS tape of interviews with Sly from the Mike Douglas show. I found them online. Some very interesting viewing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY2iQit87IQ
Not only was he incredibly talented, Sly Stone was a larger than life, perfect definition of a rockstar. On your best day, you’ll never look as good as he does in these interviews! In this link, you’ll see Muhammad Ali on the show as well. It’s really worth watching.
I’ve had a few lucky breaks. One of them came in the early 2000s when a pal of mine who was the press relations person for the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson invited me to Capitol Records to watch Mr. Wilson and his band do a live performance of a solo album he was soon to release called That Lucky Old Sun. The performance was going to be incorporated into a DVD. Of course I went. I’ve been to the Capitol Records building a few times and it’s always an incredible experience. I was told the studio the band would perform in was the same one where Frank Zappa recorded his Lumpy Gravy album.
With a full band and camera crew, the room was pretty full, so there wasn’t much room for the audience, which seemed to be people from the label, a few members of the press and some family. The band assembled on stage, cameras and lights were adjusted, and the band started playing. I don’t know if you’ve ever been around a truly talented musician. They stand out. There are a lot of good musicians, of course, but truly great musicians are far fewer. Imagine the best musician you’ve seen in a long time but there was an entire band of them. Those are the people who were playing with Brian Wilson that evening. The line-up would describe a small orchestra. Horns, string instruments—the works, as they say. Within several seconds, we spectators understood we were witnessing something truly amazing. The band and Brian Wilson sounded like a fully overdubbed studio album but live. The precision and perfection of the players was incredible. They could all sing, too. You can go online and watch parts of this performance. There was one reason all of those top shelf musicians, crew and audience were in that room: Brian Wilson. When I watched all of these players perfectly integrate into a single musical entity, it occurred to me: this is what Brian Wilson hears in his head.
Brian Wilson and the band came to the end of the set list and it was like being woken up from a trance. They had my attention the entire time. It was then announced there’d be a brief break, and the man and the band would do the entire run through one more time. They’re going to play again?! No way! We were told that if anyone was interested, we could stay. I saw a few people check the time and leave, as the real world of family traffic and whatever else made them go. Of course I stayed. Brian Wilson and the band, unsurprisingly, were great as they went through the set once more. This time around, there were only a few of us standing in front of them. It was like a concert in your living room and easily one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had.
It's very easy with Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, to think of a few songs and how great they are, but at the same time, overlook the sheer tonnage of music Brian Wilson put into the world.
One of the most remarkable bootleg series I know of, which only rivals the exhaustive scrutiny paid to the Beatles, are the Beach Boys Unsurpassed Masters box sets on a label called Sea Of Tunes. It seems someone got to the tape stash of the Beach Boys and put them all out on CD. I remember when these first started showing up and I bought every single one of them I could find, even if it took me years to finally play them. I knew I had to retrieve them before they were gone. I was finding them at record stores in New York and Tokyo, as well as a mail order place, I believe in Thailand or Singapore. I don’t know if I got them all, but I tried. I spent a lot of time listening, and it’s from that, the dizzying genius of Brian Wilson made itself apparent to me.
Around the same time, I saw Brian Wilson, and his band play, I was invited to a dinner, again through the same press liaison, to celebrate Brian Wilson picking up a lifetime achievement award at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. That was the night I briefly met Brian Wilson. I also met Van Dyke Parks that night, which was incredibly cool. Luckily for us, the band was there and they played a short set, which was a real thrill. We are each given an etched glass paperweight to commemorate the night, which I still have.
Two great reads on Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys:
The Nearest Far Away Place: Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys, And The Southern California Experience by Timothy White
Heroes And Villains: The True Story Of The Beach Boys by Steven Gaines
Fanatic, we have a great gathering of tunes for you tonight. One of my favorite tracks is the Empire song Enough Of The Same. One half of a great two song 7’.
Have a great night of listening, thank you so much for tuning in, and stay Fanatic.

Fanatic! It’s our first show for June and with it comes what has become a rather odd but cool ritual. Yes, Fanatic, Charles M. Bogert and his frogs are back. If you’re lucky enough to have frogs and or toads barking, trilling or chirping where you live, I think you’re lucky. I have a variety of four legged amphibious life where I am and at night they make such a beautiful racket.

I watched this yesterday and thought it was really cool. It’s a very short documentary on the making of the Beatles track Here Comes The Sun. Super interesting and very well done. If you ever wanted a band you could get so deep in the weeds with you’ll never find your way out, it’s the Beatles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDZzhLY_BVo
With frogs as our first track out of the gate, I think we can say that summer has truly arrived. We hope you have an excellent night of listening with the tunes we’ve gathered for you. Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Mine arrived yesterday being “that guy” I also got the UK edition which arrived weeks ago and I can tell you the mastering is excellent and if you’re at all familiar with the record, you’re going to like this new edition even more this time around. https://unrest.bandcamp.com/album/perfect-teeth-30th-anniversary
Even though I was for the most part shackled to my desk, I was able to get some good listening in over the last few days. Here’s a partial list.
Grinding Eyes – Out Of Focus
Grinding Eyes – Taste The Monochrome
Mad Mike Moldies Vol. 04
Mad Mike Moldies Vol. 05

Realizing that this holiday weekend might have you on the road or in some other location, celebrating, which might have you listening at a different time, we thank you for tuning in and very much. We hope you enjoy tonight’s gathering of tunes.
Have a great week and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Some Saturday. I spent the last nine point something hours editing a manuscript. My apologies if these notes are short, but I’m tired and am not good for much.
Our good pal and sonic ally Kilynn Lunsford sent me a link for a new video she’s just done. Here’s the address. https://youtu.be/H3b95FiM9MI?si=y-GffQtg-78q5vlU
Tonight will be doing week two of our Minute With Miriam Linna which is track 12 in hour one. Her label Norton Records is quite amazing. https://www.nortonrecords.com
Tonight’s show we hope you’ll find to be a worthwhile gathering of tunes to make the weekend all the better.
Again, I apologize for the brevity of these notes, but I’ve been in high concentration mode for several hours and feel pretty beat. Thank you so much for tuning into the show. Have a great night, a great week ahead and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and had a chance to listen to a lot of music.
You might remember the cool band Empire from the last century. The two main members of the outfit were Derwood Andrews and Mark Laff. If those names are at all familiar, it’s because they were half of Generation X. After the Valley Of The Dolls album, Derwood and Mark split off and formed Empire. They made one album called Expensive Sound which almost immediately disappeared. Thankfully, a lot of musicians in the Washington DC music scene heard this record and it ended up being quite an inspiration. Over the years, Expensive Sound has been brought back into print. A few years ago, it was reissued on the excellent Drastic Plastic label and more recently on the Munster label out of Spain. I was curious so I got the Munster reissue to check out the sound and I think it’s great. If you already have the record, you don’t need to run at this reissue as what you have is probably fine but what you might want to take advantage of is that Munster released a two song 7” of Empire with two tracks that were supposedly going to be the start of their next album. The two songs, Easy Life and Enough Of The Same I’ve heard on bootlegs but never at this quality. If you like Empire, may I suggest you check out this record. You can listen to the tracks on Bandcamp to see what you think. I bought two copies of this record. Not in an effort to hoard, but I knew our good pal and sonic ally Ian MacKaye would dig it so I sent him one. He did. Here’s the band camp address in case you’re interested: https://munsterrecords.bandcamp.com/album/easy-life-enough-of-the-same
Fanatic, I’ve been looking forward to this. Tonight we launch a new section in our show that I hope you will enjoy. A few weeks ago, I had the great opportunity to hang out with a top-shelf music historian, archivist and know-a-lot named Miriam Linna. Miriam is the owner and operator of the truly excellent Norton Records label. You might not be aware, but we’ve listened to a lot of tracks from the Norton catalog over the years. This is the label’s site address: https://www.nortonrecords.com
Also, Miriam has an amazing radio station called Kicksville. You just go to https://kicksvilleusa.com, hit the button and out comes one amazing song you’ve perhaps never heard after another. I’ve logged hours on this station. I sent the address to Ian and he’s been checking it out as well.
A few weeks ago, I decided that we should listen to at least one track from the mighty Norton catalog every week. We listen to tracks from Norton releases fairly often anyway but I thought it would be really cool to stay on it. The sheer amount of archaeological work Norton has done to bring incredibly rare music out of obscurity and sometimes onto vinyl for the first time is truly remarkable. So, tonight we start our Minute With Miriam section of the show with track four in hour one. The Missing Links series of Link Wray, from which we pull tonight’s track has a really cool story behind it. So, get ready and get set for some great listening from the Norton Records label. Also, you should know that Miriam was the original drummer in some band you may have heard of called the Cramps. She’s an Ohio native and was deep in that amazing Cleveland scene. Rocket From The Tombs, Pere Ubu, Electric Eels—this is the bolt of cloth she’s cut from. Wow!
As you’re probably well aware, John Dwyer doesn’t sleep. He just makes one cool record after another. Chime Oblivion is worth checking out. https://johndwyer.bandcamp.com/album/chime-oblivion
There’s a great release on Tompkins Square Records called Treasures Untold: A Modern 78 RPM Reader. It’s extremely well done. We’ve got a track from it tonight in our first hour.
https://tompkinssquare.bandcamp.com/merch/treasures-untold-a-modern-78-rpm-reader
Here’s information on that cool Beatie Wolfe and Brian Eno collaboration album Luminal: https://www.brian-eno.net/releases/ We’ll be starting tracks from this soon.
We have a tremendous line-up of tunes for you tonight. Hopefully, you’ll find it to be a worthwhile soundtrack for your early May 2025 Saturday night.
Until we meet again next weekend, rock the jam session and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic. I hope you had a tremendous week and there was a lot of music involved. By now you might be aware the great David Thomas of Pere Ubu has passed away. He and I were pals for about 29 years. Every few months I’d write him just to check in and see how he was doing. I wrote him a while ago, but never heard back. If you do some research, you’ll see what a standalone original he was. Not only are the Pere Ubu records great but his earlier outfit, Rocket From The Tombs is a must-hear. Also, his solo records are super interesting.
This is a great Rocket compilation record: The Day The Earth Met The... (Live From Punk Ground Zero, Cleveland 1975)
You might remember past broadcasts where we spent a lot of time with some of the more recent Pere Ubu albums like 20 Years In A Montana Missile Silo, The Long Goodbye and Trouble On Big Beat Street.
I just watched this video and my life is all the better for it.

Months ago, my incredibly brilliant pal, Beatie Wolfe told me she was going to London to make some music with Brian Eno. This of course blew my mind, but it’s just in a day’s work for Beatie. She and Brian have been hard at work and a lot of music has come from this unique pairing. Beatie and Brian decided to send the tracks to a few people, and luckily, I was one of them. The first record, called Luminal, will be out in June. I’m looking forward to putting these tracks into our June shows going forward.
Here is a video of one track that’s been officially released called Suddenly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwB6_IZSdxw
Decade after decade, Brian Eno remains truly timeless. Any of his records are past, present and future all at once. I love it when he collaborates with other people. It’s always interesting. An album he made many years ago with Harold Budd called The Pearl is a great listen. I heard it the first time when Deirdre O’Donoghue played it for me at KCRW. I think it was in 1984. As I remember, Deirdre was pals with Brian Eno. I asked Beatie to ask Brian if he remembered her. She wrote back and said he remembers her fondly. I think about Deirdre all the time.
Fanatic, I do believe we have a great show for you tonight. I thought for this time around we’d start with a perfect song, made by geniuses for we mortals to enjoy. From there, the show goes bouncing and bounding all over, hopefully hitting all five corners of the record store and providing a worthy soundtrack for whenever, however or from where you are listening.
Have a great night of listening, a great week ahead and stay Fanatic.

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and that maybe there were some records released on RSD 2025 that you found interesting. I went for the Sun Ra Nuits de la Fondation Maeght 6LP set. I’ve had portions of the shows on CD, but the idea of hearing more was too hard to pass up. It hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m looking forward to it. Also, the re-cut version of Oracle by SUNN 0))) should be a good listen.
Here are some records and a video I think are worth checking out.
New Melenas vinyl

If you notice, we’re listening to a track from The Fall’s Shift-Work album tonight. The album is getting a 6CD re-issue later this year. I just got the tracks and will be getting into it this week. Very much looking forward to it.
Yesterday, I listened to all the tracks for tonight’s show straight through. I think we’ve got a great gathering of tunes which we hope you will enjoy. Thank you so much for tuning in. Until next week, hang in there and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic. I hope you had a good week. We acknowledge the sad passing of Clem Burke of Blondie, Dave Allen from Gang Of Four and Al Barile of SSD.
We have a tremendous lineup of tunes for you tonight. Before we get into that, I wanted to follow up on something I brought up, I think last week.
Remember, I told you there was an album to be looking forward to, but I couldn’t say anything about it because I couldn’t find any information on its proper release date? I was able to get the information and now as Devo used to say, the truth can be told. Brand new music from our good pal and sonic ally Kilynn Lundsford! The new album is titled Promiscuous Genes and will be available for pre-order on April 15. You can find it at feelitrecordshop.com and feelitrecords.bandcamp.com. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you again next week. It’s a really good record. I’m so glad KL followed up on her 2022 Custodians Of Human Succession album.

Fanatic! Happy April, if there is such a thing.
I thought you might enjoy watching this interview with Miriam Linna. Miriam was the drummer in the Cramps before the arrival of Nick Knox. She was in the band approximately from the summer of 1976 to the summer of 1977. She owns and operates the excellent reissue label Norton Records in New York. She’s about as serious a music Fanatic as you can get and her story is completely cool. I thought her interview was super inspiring.

I’m looking forward to hearing anything new from Kilynn.
We can now be found on Bluesky
Tonight’s show is what you’ll hopefully find to be exceptional April listening. What defines that description? Songs that reflect an increase in temperature, more rain than snow and a subtle nod to the summer to come. I know, it begs the question, “Why don’t you just take a bunch of good songs and put them on?” in a way, that’s exactly what we’re at least attempting to do. But I think there’s something to be said for seasonal listening. Songs selected and ordered in conjunction with temperature and light cycle change. Anyway, maybe tonight’s selections check all of those boxes anyway. Please listen to see if we got it right. Next week’s show is nearing completion and we shall faithfully report to you at this time next week. Until then, have a great night of listening and STAY FANATIC!!!

Some cool records are coming out soon.
There’s a new record by our good pal and sonic ally Teri Gender Bender. It’s really good. You can find more information on it right here: https://terigenderbender.bandcamp.com/album/tgb
There’s another great record coming out next month. I can’t find any mentions of it on the label’s site or on Bandcamp. I can’t talk about a record before the label or the band announces but hopefully next week the label we have posted something and I can let you know. More to look forward to!
Otherwise, we have a great gathering of tunes for you that hopefully you will find to be the perfect soundtrack for the weekend. Otherwise, we have a great gathering of tunes for you that hopefully you will find to be the perfect soundtrack for the weekend.

Fanatic! I hope you had a tremendous week with lots of music and good health. Tonight’s show is definitely a “spring oriented” gathering of tunes. I think it’s a good one.
We’re finishing up our shows for March and looking forward to starting to build our April broadcasts. As I sometimes tell you in these notes, I was able to hear a new album that’s not out yet but when it arrives, we will be getting into it. Yet another was sent to me a few days ago and it’s going to be another great one to look forward to. Not wanting to put the proverbial cart in front of the horse, that’s all I can say about it for now. I think you’re really going to like this one.
Don’t forget about these cool releases

I hope you had a great week. I’m not sure if you’re aware but the great Brian James of the Damned has passed away. If you were a fan of the first two Damned albums, that’s the lineup of the band he was in and he was the primary songwriter. This is tough news.
To make sure we never miss a show, as best we can. we try to work in advance. When we got the news about Brian, we had already made tonight’s show. I apologize for not having any tracks with Brian’s great guitar work and a show that acknowledges his passing.
I’m glad that the original line-up of the band featuring Captain Sensible on bass, Dave Vanian on vocals, Rat Scabies on drums and Brian on guitar had a chance to tour recently. In a statement issued by the Captain, they had planned more shows with Brian.
Over the years, I carefully saved everything Brian ever sent me from the emails, the records, to the packages because they featured his handwriting. He was an amazing player and this is a true loss.
Joey Molland of Badfinger has also passed away. I interviewed him many years ago and we kept in touch. They wrote some great songs.
We have prepared a great show for tonight that reflects the change of seasons, and hopefully the buoyancy and effervescence of the tracks will provide an excellent soundtrack for the rest of your weekend.
Thank you so much for tuning in. Have a great night and stay Fanatic

Fanatic. You might remember in the show notes from our February 15 broadcast, we included a site address where a Fanatic could send some funds to help David Johansen and his family. Thanks to your kind contributions David’s remaining days were made as comfortable as possible. He passed away yesterday at 75 years of age.
Somewhere in the early 1980s I saw that David was coming to Los Angeles to play at the Roxy as his persona Buster Poindexter. I had never seen David on stage before and was determined to get to the show. I carefully saved enough money for a ticket and took the long bus ride from Redondo Beach into Hollywood. The show was great and I was so glad I had gone through all the twists and turns to be there. I didn’t have a way back from the show and have no memory of how I made it to the beach. Many years later, I was able to meet David a few times and he was always great. I think he knew he meant a lot to a lot of people and he, as they say, "wore it well” and was extremely cool, charismatic and funny. I believe it was Dez from Black Flag who played the New York Dolls album before band practice one day. I’d never heard the entire record, but as soon as I did, I liked it immediately. When I was on tour in England in 1984, one of the chain record stores in London had a big sale on catalog records and I was able to buy the first New York Dolls album for really cheap. I think at this point we’ve listened to every track from that record on our show. It’s a great Rock ‘n’ Roll album.
David is survived by his amazing wife, Mara and his extremely talented stepdaughter Leah Hennessy. Her super cool song 8 Men Have All The Money starts our second hour.
Fanatic, I know that officially spring doesn’t start for a couple of weeks, but for me, spring starts on March 1. I’m officially done with winter and I’m ready for a change of season. We weren’t anticipating the sad news of David passing, so our show tonight is for the most part buoyant, effervescent, and hopefully, spring-minded.
As always, the show is designed for your maximum enjoyment and we hope to have succeeded in that pursuit yet again. Thank you so much for tuning in no matter when or where or how you do. Getting this great music to you is what it’s all about.
Until next week, hang in there and stay Fanatic.

Fanatic! Just my opinion, but on the first day of March Fanatic spring officially starts. While I’m sure the calendar as we know it says different, I’m holding firm! I’m done with winter and I’m ready for something else.
I don’t think tonight’s gathering of top tier tunes is necessarily a “goodbye” to winter but it’s a good mix all the same. We will not be visiting Joy Division again for quite a few months and soon we’ll be starting in on the new Horsegirl album, Phonetics On And On and other new releases as the labels permit.
https://thisishorsegirl.bandcamp.com/album/phonetics-on-and-on
I’m not sure exactly when they’ll be coming out, but I know for a fact there are some great records to look forward to this year. One of our favorite pals and sonic allies just sent me a batch of new recordings, due out this year. As it is always my policy, not to announce before the artist or band, I must keep this information to myself but I will say that we definitely have another great record to explore whenever the official release date is announced.
If you scroll down towards the bottom of the Lambrini Girls site page, you’ll see a lot of tour dates. By May of this year, if all goes according to plan, they should be in the USA.
https://www.lambrinigirlsband.co.uk
Apparently, some of these shows will be done with that excellent Australian band Party Dozen.
https://party-dozen.bandcamp.com/merch
Now THAT is a double bill. Wow! Party Dozen’s most recent album, Crime In Australia is excellent. I would recommend any of their albums without hesitation.
We’ve been listening to a lot of music from that cool label out of the UK, Damnably. Here’s their site page on Bandcamp in case you want to check it out.
https://damnably.bandcamp.com/music
Next week, get ready to get set for the new album by Escape-ism. It’s called Charge Of The Love Brigade. I’ve listened to it three times now. I believe we’re starting in on that one next week, a day after it’s release on March 7.
https://escape-ism.bandcamp.com/album/charge-of-the-love-brigade
Tonight, we have for you what you will hopefully find to be a pleasing mix of tunes, providing a most excellent soundtrack for your party-on weekend.
Keep rocking the jam session and STAY FANATIC!!!
