Fanatic! Happy Friday. I hope you’ve been able to listen to great music since last week. I’ve been doing marathon proofreading and editing sessions that go from when I wake up until well into the night. This has kept me from the turntable, but this is work that must be done. This regimen will be in place for the next several days.
You might remember, months ago, when I told you that I had mixed some songs with Ian MacKaye at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia. Probably, due to my mediocre writing skills, I wasn’t clear enough in my reportage and some folks were left under the impression that Ian and I were creating new music. We were actually mixing tracks from an old demo tape from 1979 that I located months before. The reason I’m bringing this up is the tracks came out sounding really good and two days ago, our good pal, the very talented engineer Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound, cut the lacquer for the record these tracks will be released on. He even cut an acetate for me so I could listen to the tracks at home. I sat in front of the speakers in his editing room, listening back to the tracks, while sending Ian and Larry Hardy at In The Red Records short videos so they could listen. It was very exciting to hear these tracks sound so good. The cover art, liner, notes, and labels are all done. The lacquer has been cut. It’s going to be the four tracks pressed on both sides of a 12”. That was Larry’s idea, very cool. The parts went off to the pressing plant and hopefully, we will have test pressing and vinyl to follow. So, what band is this? I’ll let you know when we get the records back. I will say this: it’s really good and we can’t wait for you to hear it. Stay tuned.
Our good pal and sonic ally, Hannah Lew of the band Cold Beat, has a solo record coming out on April 10. Looking forward to this one. We are playing a track from it tonight. https://hannahlew.bandcamp.com/album/hannah-lew-2
I’m really liking the Fringe Body Parts album by Ryan Reidy. You will find one of his tracks in the second hour. https://ryanreidy.bandcamp.com/album/fringe-body-parts
Also, I was able to secure the Misfits tracks from the Manny Martinez Tapes and a really cool version of their excellent song Hybrid Moments will start hour two. Glenn Danzig was an amazing singer right out of the box. I encourage you to find these tracks. We will be playing them in the weeks going forward.
The new Takaat 10” Is Noise, Vol. 3 is really good. We will listen to a track from it tonight.
https://takaat.bandcamp.com/album/takaat-is-noise-vol-3
Heather The Jerk has just repressed her new cassette titled Scroll If You Love Devil.
https://heatherthejerk.bandcamp.com/album/scroll-if-you-love-devil
Tonight’s offering by The Fall is from the band’s album The Unutterable, released in 2000. I wanted to remind you that this record just got the cool Cherry Red Records reissue treatment. Really worth checking out. https://thefallmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-unutterable
Fanatic, we really hope you enjoy tonight’s gathering of tracks and that you have a tremendous weekend. Thank you for listening and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Happy February. I hope the weather isn’t giving you too much hassle. Depending on where you are, you might be baking, listening to your teeth chattering or something far more hospitable. I’m in spring-like weather, surrounded by fallen trees, sheared branches, and melting snow.
Our good pal and sonic ally Hannah Lew, who you might know from the excellent band Cold Beat, has a solo record coming out in April. We’re going to play a track from it next week.
https://hannahlew.bandcamp.com/album/hannah-lew-2
In news that at this point might not necessarily surprise, John Dwyer has another record coming out. This time around, it’s his excellent outfit Damaged Bug. This is such a cool band. We have to wait until March 20 but of course it will be worth it. I’m listening to the pre-order track and it’s really good. On Bandcamp at least, the vinyl looks like it’s sold out but hopefully, that’s a temporary situation. Can’t wait to hear this one. https://damagedbug.bandcamp.com/album/zuzax
This band T.Y. seems good. I’m on the Under The Gun Records mailing list and got the heads up on the group last night. We’ll start tracks from the record next week. https://utgrecords.bandcamp.com/album/we-r-ty
Also, another band on Under The Gun I think is worth checking out is 2m8o. We’ll get a track from them into next week’s show. https://utgrecords.bandcamp.com
We have a gathering of tunes for tonight that we hope you will greatly enjoy. Without a great amount of effort, you can scroll down and see what we’ll be serving up. Have a great night of listening, a tremendous, music-filled weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I’m going to apologize in advance for the brevity of these notes. I am well into day number five of no electricity. Snow, fallen trees, downed powerlines, etc. I’m going to dash off these brief notes, then get into my car and try and find Internet access. I’m thinking of a strip mall parking lot down the road. I will send these notes off to those who know what to do with them and scurry back to my freezing abode before the slush turns back to ice and makes the roads treacherous.
In big news, I went to the supermarket last night just to remember what heat felt like I was able to secure a can of coffee. I saved it for today to have something to look forward to. It doesn’t taste good, but I remember something David Lynch once said in an interview about even bad tasting coffee being good enough. He was of course, correct. Sleeping in below freezing temperatures is interesting. Fleece-lined sweatpants were a wise purchase.
Below you’ll see the tracks for tonight’s marvelous gathering of tunes. I’ve played these tracks at the gym a few times now and I think we definitely have a good show lined up for you. Please enjoy it, stay warm and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! It looks like parts of the USA might be in for some rough weather over the weekend. Depending on where you live, you might find yourself in the supermarket, looking at empty shelves as people purchase with great concern for their very survival over what could be one or two days of inclement weather. In some cities, it’s an emergency. In others, it’s just winter. An hour ago, I saw men grimly pushing their shopping carts full of Gatorade, and frozen pizza, towards their trucks. Getting ready.
In other news, Alan Vega’s early albums have been reissued.

Fanatic! Finally, it can be told. Several weeks ago, our good pal and sonic ally, not to mention one of my heroes for decades, the one and only Gaye Advert wrote to tell me she had found an Adverts tape on her shelf but she didn’t know what was on it. She asked if I was interested in checking it out, to which, of course I replied in the Fanatic affirmative.
Days later, the tape arrived. I took it to Infrasonic Sound. The great Pete Lyman carefully baked and transferred the tracks. Luckily, the tape was in pristine condition and contained two classic Adverts songs: We Who Wait and New Boys. They were produced by Larry Wallis, he of Pink Fairies fame, at Pathway Studios in London on March 20, 1977. As you might know, both of these songs eventually found themselves on proper Adverts releases, but not these versions. As far as we know, they have never been released until now. Pete sent the transferred tracks to both myself and Ian MacKaye. I sent them to Larry Hardy at In The Red Records and Gaye. Everyone thought they sounded great. I came up with sleeve and label ideas and sent all the information to our excellent layout person, Jon Krop. He got to work. Pete mastered the tracks and days later, everything was sent to the pressing plant. Weeks after that, test pressings came back. Ian, Larry and I all thought the tracks sounded excellent. We put in the order and became we who wait. Hey now! We got happy news yesterday that the records have arrived and are ready for mail order.
Fanatic, I’ve been on the treadmill with the tracks from tonight’s show for a few days now and I think it is a very cool gathering of tunes. Engineer X, Engineer Am-Rock and I have almost finished work on next week’s show and we think you’re going to like it.
Until next week, have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Here we are, together again for the second time this year with what you will hopefully find to be a fantastic gathering of tunes.
I am momentarily sidelined as I’m waiting on a couple of replacement tubes for my right channel amplifier. Luckily, I have back up playback but I’m looking forward for the tubes to arrive. I want to finish listening to that great Velvet Underground box that I told you about a few weeks ago as well as check out some great 7” records that have recently arrived.
Looking forward to this record.

Thanks to Fanatic Brandon for the heads up on this cool band Orange Whip.
https://orangewhip.bandcamp.com/album/orange-whip
There are a few other records I’ve been sent that are coming out soon, but I can’t find any listing for them on Bandcamp, so I will wait for the respective labels to announce. As I’ve said to you a few times in the last several weeks, there are some really cool records to be looking forward to this year.
We very much hope you have a great time listening to tonight’s program. Thank you so much for tuning in and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Here we are, right at the beginning of the new year. There are lots of good records coming out over the next several months and when the time is right, we will be checking them out.
Winter for me, has turned into a bit of a holding pattern. I stay active, but my thoughts are forward facing, with spring and summer in mind. For now, I endure.
I think we’ve put together an interesting show to start 2026. Always trying to stay slightly ahead of schedule, in case something comes up, we have almost completed the work for next week’s show. More to look forward to!
Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I think the holiday season means different things to different people. I didn’t see any humans today and the weather was unseasonably warm, so it was more of an overcast September atmosphere. Some of my neighbors light their houses up. It looks like a lot of work. There is a car I’ve seen twice in the last few days that was wrapped in Christmas lights. The car was white, and the lights were multicolor and at night it looked really cool. The first time I saw the car, It was ahead of me turning onto the highway and the second time I saw it, the occupant was getting out to go into the gym as I was getting into my car. I wish I could’ve gotten a photo.
I can’t possibly know if you have any days away from your usual tasks as we march towards the end of the year, but if you do, I hope you get some good listening in. I’ve been checking out the Velvet Underground reissue box set, a lot of Stooges, David Bowie and tracks for our upcoming shows. Engineer X and I are a little over halfway done with our first show for next year. I think it’s going to be a great one.
I believe I mentioned last week or the week before, there are some really great records coming out next year, a few of them. I’ve been lucky enough to receive in advance. Others, I’ll have to wait for, but they will arrive eventually. I think we’re going to have some great listening coming up.
Fanatic, we finish another year of music appreciation together. On behalf of myself, Engineer, X and Engineer Am-Rock, thank you so much for tuning in. We hope we’ve put together shows that have been interesting and worth your while. We are going to do our Fanatic best to maintain this level of sonic good times into next year.
Until then, enjoy the holiday and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and if you’re one to celebrate the holidays, I hope you have your travel plans in order. Many tours I’ve been on would end right before Christmas. It makes sense, there’s not a great deal of activity around that time. It would be right around now, I’d be looking at a multiple plane and airport experience. More than once, for some reason, the last show of the year would be in Moscow. I would hit the stopwatch as I walked out of the hotel lobby and stop it when I walked in to my house. As I remember, it was almost 24 hours. So many times, on this day, December 19, I’d be on a plane with hours and hours to go. The airports would often be full of families and inexperienced flyers.
Fanatic, I think last week I told you about that really cool Velvet Underground 5LP box set that was just unleashed by the great Sundazed label. My copy just arrived and I got right into it. My schedule will be one LP a night until I cycle through all five. I had not listened to the first Velvet Underground album in his entirety for a long time. Partway through the first track, Sunday Morning, it was almost as if I was five songs into the album. It was so completely immersive, perhaps due to the sheer amount of times I’ve listened to it. Just my opinion, but I think the album is an example of pure genius. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything like it. Easily one of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard. As I remember, my introduction to the Velvet Underground was administered by brainiac and all-around good guy Chris Hasket, who I was in a band with for many years. One night myself and many of the microscopic DC punk scene were at a show at the legendary Madam’s Organ. I think the Bad Brains and the Teen Idles might have been on the bill. Things would often start pretty late there. It wasn’t always so much of a show, but a party with bands playing now and then. As the show was letting out, Chris suggested that some of us follow him to his place. My car loaded up with people and several minutes later we arrived. We were hanging out in Chris's room and he put on a record. It didn't make any sense to me. He told me it was the Velvet Underground and the album was called White Light/White Heat. I remember hearing the song Sister Ray, and not understanding why a band would play a song for that long. I didn’t dislike the record, I just simply didn’t have a place in my mind to put it. A few years later, I heard the first Velvet Underground record, which I liked immediately and then revisited White Light/White Heat, and somehow understood it differently and really dug it. In early 1983., I got a copy of the book Uptight: The Velvet Underground Story by Victor Bockris and Gerard Malanga. As I remember, it was very compelling and made me want to hear every record that was mentioned. This book inspired me to listen to the solo albums of Lou Reed, John Cale, and Nico. I loaned the book to someone and never got it back. It was one of two books I loaned to this person. I got the other back, but it took years. Anyway, we’re playing a track from the first Velvet Underground album tonight.
Tonight’s show will hopefully be a mixtape that hits the right notes and keeps you engaged for the entirety. We are almost done with 2025 and if all goes according to plan, we will be charging into 2026 with our usual Fanatic zeal. Engineer X, Engineer Am-Rock and I are now putting the finishing touches on next week’s show and should have it ready for you on time.
We hope you survive the holidays in safety and optimum health. Be careful out there and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week. I had a chance to listen to the live Boris album Pink Days a couple of nights ago. So far, there was a very limited pressing of it on their website that sold out immediately, and then a larger pressing the band has been selling on tour. I have no idea as to the status of those. I believe the band has completed their North American dates and have headed back to Japan. Unfortunately, for now at least, copies online are expensive. It’s too bad. It sounds so good. I hope Boris will have mercy on people who do not want to pay exorbitant prices and press up some more. I was lucky, my good pal and sonic ally, Fanatic Denise snagged me one at the merch table when she saw them play recently. She’s done this multiple times over the years as I can never seem to find myself in the same city as Boris. Anyway, I hope you get a chance to check it out sometime.
You have a life and things to do, so you might not know this: David Bowie’s amazing album Heroes has been bootlegged and pressed in different colored vinyl. There are a lot of variants. If you want a visual, here are a few.
https://www.discogs.com/release/9125793-David-Bowie-Heroes
https://www.discogs.com/release/10439789-David-Bowie-Heroes
https://www.discogs.com/release/19145542-David-Bowie-Heroes
https://www.discogs.com/release/23008037-David-Bowie-Heroes
A few years ago, these were everywhere. I found eight different variants, including a picture disc. They sound a lot better than records like these usually do. Quite often bootlegs of official albums like these, (and there are plenty of them) use a digital source, like a CD. You can hear it very quickly on the vinyl. There’s a shallowness that’s unmistakable. I find the bootlegs more interesting than the official releases. When I found them, they were really cheap. Last night, I listened to one of them and was surprised at how good it sounded. It’s such a great record. My personal favorite album of David Bowie’s is Scary Monsters. All that Robert Fripp guitar, so high up in the mix. It’s a purposefully in your face record. That being said, I think Heroes is Bowie’s best, as far as composition, execution and the sounds. A serious meeting of the minds on that one: David Bowie, Tony Visconti, and Brian Eno. Wow!
I watched this documentary about David Bowie again last night. Really cool.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7JbETQZlJc
A really great record you should be aware of. The Real Janelle by Bratmobile has been out of print for a long time. It’s just been reissued with The Real Janelle tracks on the A side and Bratmobile’s Peel sessions on the B. It sounds great.
CD/Dl here: https://bratmobile.bandcamp.com/album/the-real-janelle-the-peel-session
For vinyl, I saw a lot of them on Discogs. I didn’t see the vinyl listed at the Kill Rock Stars site.
This box sure looks good to me!
https://sundazed.com/velvet-underground-the-the-verve/mgm-albums-5-lp-deluxe-box-set.aspx
There’s a new Heather The Jerk 7” called the Very Motorcycle EP. The vinyl is gone on Bandcamp.
https://heatherthejerk.bandcamp.com/album/very-motorcycle-e-p
You can still find some copies on Discogs.
https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?master_id=3982822
We’ll start tracks from it soon.
We have a track from the cool band Adele Dazeem tonight.
https://adeledazeem.bandcamp.com/album/metanoia
Fanatic, also take note that this is KCRW’s season of giving. Please, if you’re not yet a member, I encourage you to join at KCRW.com/give.
Hopefully, Fanatic, we’ve gathered what you will hopefully find to be a fantastic batch of tunes to spend some time with. Have a great night of listening and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! There was a bit of snow in my neighborhood today. I just got a bag of raw shelled peanuts, and left some out on the back porch for the squirrels early this morning. A little while later, I returned to see they were all gone. Hopefully, I’ll help keep their food supply happening so they can get through the winter.
Fanatic, this is our first show for December. We’ll be featuring songs from David Bowie’s excellent Heroes album. Such an amazing piece of work. I hope you had a chance to avail yourself to some of the Raw Power-era tracks of the Stooges from those records I suggested to you recently. I’ve been checking a few out every night for the last couple of weeks.
I got a chance to listen to the tracks that will comprise an album by an artist we listen to quite often on the show that will hopefully be released next year. It’s not for me to get in front of a band’s release, just remember I told you we’ve got a great record to look forward to. Also, I was given all the tracks for the new album by the great band from Hong Kong, David Boring, called Liminal Beings and Their Echoes. We have to wait until January 12 to play any track we want but if you go to their Bandcamp page, you can check out two songs now. This is a really interesting band and I’m looking forward to getting into these tracks next year. https://davidboring.bandcamp.com/album/liminal-beings-and-their-echoes
We’ve got a track from a cool band called Caution in the second hour of the show. I got the heads up about this group from our good pal and sonic ally, McGinty. The album comes out today. I’m looking forward to getting into the rest of the tracks.
I just got a chance to hear a test pressing of a project Larry Hardy at In The Red Records and I have been working on for weeks. It sounded great and a week ago, we made the order. When the records get to us, I’ll definitely let you know. I think you’re going to like this one.
Fanatic, I’ve given this set of tunes the run through on multiple days on the treadmill, and I think we’ve got a good show for you tonight. Wherever you are, whatever the climate is, whatever you’re going through, we hope you dig all the songs we’ve gathered for you. Have a great weekend, a great night of listening and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and weren’t subjected to unwanted holiday intrusions.
The first memorable Thanksgiving I can remember was in the year of 1980. I was working at a Häagen-Dazs ice cream store on Wisconsin Avenue in a very upscale section of DC called Georgetown. My boss, Steve, gave us the day off. Being the budding overachiever and workaholic, I told him I’d have the shop open from 10 until 4, just in case people needed vanilla ice cream for their Thanksgiving dinners and if there weren’t many or any customers coming in, I would do cleaning, organizing and other tasks to stay busy. He probably thought I was knocking myself out a bit too much for minimum wage, but perhaps appreciated my zeal and abundant intensity. Fanatic is as Fanatic does, I say. As I remember, we got a fair number of customers that day. The part I wanted to tell you about was that Steve had a restaurant down the street from the shop prepare a Thanksgiving meal and bring it over to the shop. I had no idea it was coming. Being low on finances and perpetually hungry, it was a good break.
While I reject the images of indigenous peoples of the North American continent, grooving with European invaders, as depicted in paintings, I don’t mind the occasion to be thankful. I went to Sprouts and bought another bag of raw walnuts and laid them out in great plentitude for the two gangs of squirrels that run around in my front and back yards. They were all gone a few hours later. There are so many critters around here, I have no idea who made them disappear, but hopefully they were enjoyed.
I’m thankful for too many things to list here, but since we’re on the topic of tonight’s radio show, I’m thankful for the slot at KCRW. Honestly, I’m always surprised that we keep not getting fired. You never know with radio. I’m thankful that there’s so many great bands committing themselves and making such amazing music. I’m thankful that you tune into this show. I’m thankful that Jason Bentley sometimes sends me boxes of clothes he no longer needs so that I can have something to wear.
The new Party Dozen track that starts our second hour is really cool. You can find it here.
https://party-dozen.bandcamp.com/album/mad-rooter-ghost-rider
Just my opinion, Fanatic, but I don’t think this band has made a record that should be missed. I can’t wait to hear the flip side of this record.
Have a great night of listening to the marvelous mix we have prepared for you and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope the week was not too bruising and that you had the occasion to check out some great music. I’ve been getting some good listening in. It’s around this time of the year I start listening to a lot of Raw Power-era Stooges. What I mean by era is there’s a lot of music the band left in their comet trail of fury from 1973 into the first two months of 1974. There was of course the album but if you drill down deeper, there’s a lot more to check out. Hopefully, you won’t mind this short list of releases featuring the band live and at practice. Absolutely blistering.
The Stooges – Rubber Legs
The Stooges – Heavy Liquid
The Stooges – Rough Power
The Stooges – California Bleeding
The Stooges – Theatre Of Cruelty
The Stooges – You Think You’re Bad, Man? (The Road Tapes '73 - '74)
The Stooges – Born In A Trailer (The Session & Rehearsal Tapes '72 - '73)
Please note, there is a tremendous amount of overlap on these records, especially when it comes to the practice sessions but I think they’re all worth checking out. I’ve been listening to selections from these for the last several nights. I think it’s some of the best Rock music ever made.
I found this record by Keiji Haino and Shuta Hasunuma called U TA to be super cool. We have a track from it in hour two. I found anything involving Keiji Haino is worth checking out. He is always 100% committed to the moment. https://shutahasunuma.bandcamp.com/album/u-ta
The Post Pink album by Den is really cool. We have a track from it on the show tonight.

You might remember Fanatic, I’ve been telling you that I had no information on the American Lips On Strike! album. Our good pal, sonic ally Sebastien generously gave me the 411.
American Lips is:
Adrian Popovich - guitar, synth, voice
Jessica Bruzzese - bass, voice
Sebastien Grainger - drums, some voice
I play drums, co-produce, mix, do some writing and play some odds and sods on this project.
Label: Ancient Fashion (my little label with Adrian)
The record came out October 29th and is available at DSPs and on vinyl at Bandcamp!

What a fantastic-o lineup of tunes we have for you on this Friday! I thought that we should floor it for the first few songs, just to make sure you’re in a wakeful state and ready for the nonstop barrage that follows.
Speaking of Bed Maker, they have a show tomorrow night in Washington DC at Comet Ping Pong. With Sensor Ghost?! No way! I wish I could be there!

Fanatic! I hope November’s been treating you well. I’ve been supplying the two crazy squirrels in my backyard raw almonds for most of this year. Up until a few weeks ago, they seemed quite happy with them. One of the squirrels, not seeing any almonds scattered on the back porch area would come up to the window and bang its paws on the glass, reminding me that I have to supply the demand. For the last few weeks, I’ve been leaving almonds out, thinking the squirrels might need to bulk up for the winter months. I’ve watched them, day after day, walk right over the almonds. I did some research and found that squirrels are very careful about their diet and after awhile, might back away from the almonds, unless they bury them for later. Well, then, I’m going to have to find something else to give them. Later: I switched to raw walnuts, and the squirrels are eating them.
I just finished listening to the In The Red album by the great Australian group the Prize. We’ve been playing tracks from the band on the show, but I just had a chance to sit and carefully listen to the record all the way through. It’s really good. https://theprizemelbourne.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-red-usa
Very cool band on the great Damnably label called BB Bomb. We’re checking them out in the first hour. https://bbbombband.bandcamp.com/album/practice-songs
You might notice at the beginning of our second hour, new music by Ekko Astral. Hopefully, there’s more to come. https://ekkoastral.bandcamp.com/album/horseglue
The new album by Black Eyes, Hostile Design, just came out on Dischord. There’s a lot of FCC unfriendly language in the tracks and I don’t need the aggravation of trying to excise everything so we’re going to give the record a miss for the most part, but it should be checked out, absolutely.

https://blackeyes.bandcamp.com/album/hostile-design
The Morwan album we’ve been listening to over the last couple of weeks, Vse Po Kolu, Znovu, is really worth checking out. https://morwan.bandcamp.com/album/vse-po-kolu-znovu
You also noticed, that we’re listening to another track from that excellent Kid Congo & TNDE album Live @ St. Kilda . I’m sorry that we didn’t get into it more completely when it was first released. It’s so good and a great example of why you should never miss an opportunity to see Kid Congo.

I just did a couple of podcasts with my longtime pal Paul Rieckhoff. If you wanna listen to them here they are.
Episode 372 - It’s Time to Bring Back Punk Rock
Episode 373 - On Venezuela: Show Me the Dope
I think we have a great mix of tunes for you tonight. I take the tracks to the gym with me and listen as I plot endlessly into the future on the treadmill, listening down before we subject you to do the same. It’s very helpful for final edits. It’s a multi-day process, but I think it’s worth it. I like what we have here and hope you do as well.
Thank you so much for tuning in, have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Here we are together again for our second Friday. I hope you dug last week’s show and are okay with our new time slot.
Before anything else, I think I need to clear something up. Last week I told you that I went up to DC and mixed some tracks with Ian MacKaye at Inner Ear Studios in beautiful Arlington, VA. The tracks we mixed were not a collaborative effort, besides the mixing itself. I am not on the tape. Ian is not on the tape. Neither of us are on the tape. What we were working on was a demo, recorded in 1979, by a legendary Punk band that recently came into my possession. I had the tape baked and transferred by the very capable Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound in Nashville and had him send the tracks to Ian so he could take them to Inner Ear and get them loaded in. The mix came together quite quickly because it was only eight tracks on one inch tape and the quality of the sounds were so good out of the gate, very little had to be done. The performances are fantastic. Ian and I played the mixes over and over days later and kept in touch to see if either one of us had any notes as to anything that needed to be changed and neither of us could find anything wrong with the work. I contacted a member of the band and asked if I could release the tracks. I got permission and started preparing the tracks for release. We sent the final mixes to Pete, who mastered them and they’re really good. I’m going to be working in collaboration with Larry Hardy at In The Red Records and we’ll be releasing the demo as soon as possible, as a four song 12”. You might already know that Larry and I have been putting out very cool and often extremely rare tracks on 7” and 12” records over the last few years. In fact, we have a great one at the pressing plant right now. Once it’s back, I’ll tell you all about it. It’s super cool.
So Fanatic, October is several days behind us. I wanted to take advantage of the changing of months to put some cooler weather listening into our program tonight.
I really hope you like our first track in hour two by the band Morwan. Their new album on Feel It, Vse Po Kolu, Znovu, which transliterates into “all in a circle, again” is really different. It struck me much the same way as my first listen to the David Boring album Unnatural Objects And Their Humans. Very good and very memorable. I really hope you like the track we’re playing tonight.
A lot of new music in our show tonight. Bandcamp is your friend for finding out more information should you find yourself interested. I got my first listen to the Loose Lips Last Laugh album a few days ago and think it’s really great. The new Lorelle Meets The Obsolete album is also really good. Just my opinion, Fanatic—there’s not one record LMTO ever made that should be missed. If you just connected with them one or two records ago, their back catalog is absolutely worth diving into.
I think we’ve struck a great balance of new and old and a subtle shift from our October programming tonight. I hope the new time slot is fitting in with your weekend activities. If not, there’s always the archive. I know that change can be difficult at times. I must say, I’m quite excited about being on Friday nights.
Thank you so much for tuning in. We very much hope you enjoy the show. Have a tremendous weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Check out our new time slot. This has been in the works for quite a while. As you might know, there’s been some changes at KCRW. This is a brief article about what’s been happening.
This newly implemented schedule allows us to have one more show in October. So, we decided to make it fun with quite a few tricks mixed in with the treats.
We’re stoked about being on Friday nights and look forward to starting off the weekend with you. If this time slot isn’t working for your schedule, please check us out on archive at the site.
Years ago, I told someone that because of the misery of high school, Friday turned into my favorite day of the week. It was the beginning of 48 hours away from the gulag. The person I told this to explained that this sentiment was probably felt by every single person who ever endured school. Oh. Nonetheless, it’s still my favorite day of the week. The challenge for me has been to make the weekend stand up to the expectation I weigh it down with. Sometimes, thinking about it, anticipating it, using it as an incentive to get through some of the more excruciatingly mundane tasks of the rest of the week is better than the actual time. It was for me to make the weekend as great as I thought it could be. I’ve been able to achieve the proverbial great weekend with some consistency by listening to a lot of music. Obviously, there’s myriad destinations of happiness, and whatever works for you is the one or ones to go with. For many years, music has been what’s made the weekends memorable for me. When I’m able, I plan ahead, down to the exact records to be played, records to be looked at and records to be thought about and written down to make sure they get played later. Also, thinking about places. As I’ve no doubt worn you out over the years, my thoughts while the music is playing on a weekend night, often go to where I first concluded that somehow, music was going to be a big part of my life, even if it was just going to the record store, listening to music or checking out a live show. Whenever I have the opportunity to visit Washington, DC, where I come from, I try to go to as many of my favorite landmarks as I can. It’s a lot easier to think of these places than to actually be there, so I do my best to remember the last visit. A few weeks ago, I was afforded a couple of days walking around in the old neighborhood in the great autumn weather. Those memories have been with me for the last few weeks.
Weeks ago, I journeyed it to DC in order to work on a great project. Ian MacKaye and I went to Inner Ear Studios, where we made our first records decades ago and mixed a four song session with the great Don Zientara at the board. This is the same studio, where the Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, and many others recorded. It was amazing to be back there with Ian and Don. Part way through the mix, none other than Eddie Janney, he of the Untouchables, Rights Of Spring, One Last Wish, Happy Go Licky, Skewbald and other great bands joined us. The session benefited greatly by his presence. As to the tracks, I had them mastered several days ago, and I’m now working on the layout and design for the record. When it’s ready, I’ll let you know. We are extremely excited by this one.
We’re honored to be able to bring you a weekly show, and beyond grateful to be able to keep it happening, year after year. We’re looking forward to bringing you super cool music on Friday nights—the best night of the week.
We hope you enjoy tonight’s gathering of tunes and the stories that accompany many of them. Thank you so much for tuning in. Until next Friday, keep the jam session going and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! You might remember, last week I asked you to check the show notes for tonight. I just wanted to tell you that Larry Hardy at In The Red Records and I have another cool record at the pressing plant. We think you’re going to like this one. I’m not exactly sure when it will be back, but it won’t be long. When we have possession of them, I’ll let you know.
Also, I’m going to be putting up an announcement late next week, having to do with our show. So, if you can, please check out the site for the announcement, I’d say Thursday.
Also, I wanted to tell you that Ian MacKaye and I recently mixed some tracks at Don Zientara’s Inner Ear Studios. We mastered the tracks with Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound and will be pressing them onto vinyl soon. It’s going to be a great one. When I have more news about a release date, I will let you know.
Fanatic, we have what you will hopefully fine to be a tremendous gathering of tunes in the mood of October. And what would that be, exactly? Well, I’m glad I asked me. In our first hour, we will celebrate the month of months with bands and songs that, if you’re a listener to this show with any regularity, you might have become somewhat familiar with. As Thomas Wolfe, the great writer from Asheville, North Carolina once said in his book Of Time And The River—October is about returning.
In our second hour, we’ll put some newer tracks into the mix. I’m already getting notices from some of our favorite labels, that there’s quite a bit to look forward to next year. I space. I’ll be getting album downloads very soon and of course will bring the music to you when the labels give us the green light. Definitely some great records on the way.
I hope that wherever you are, you’re enjoying October. Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic. I hope you had a great week of autumn weather and excellent analog playback. If you’re a fan of the band Boris, there’s a chance the new edition of their album Pink has arrived in your mailbox. The 6LP and 2LP variants showed up at my place yesterday, as well as another Boris reissue, Dronevil. As you can perhaps imagine, both albums were released in different colors, predictably, sending fan folks scrambling. I saw one of the 6LP sets on Discogs for a mere 499 USD. Wow!
I think I forgot to mention this last week, but there’s a new album by Automatic called Is It Now?. I’ve played it once and will get back into it soon. We’ll start tracks from it, hopefully, in a show or so ahead. https://automatic-band.bandcamp.com/album/is-it-now
The new Snooper album, Worldwide, is great on vinyl. If you get a chance, check out the hype sticker on the cover. No way! https://snooper7.bandcamp.com/album/worldwide
I hate to complain, but the price of records seems to have spiked over the last several months. There was an album I really wanted to get, pressed in the USA, but I just couldn’t justify the expenditure of 30 USD. I’ve heard some of the tracks and I think you would like this band, and I would like to listen to the vinyl, but for now at least, I can’t do it. Maybe I’ll just have to adjust. I was looking for a download of the record, so I could at least get the tracks to you but so far, I haven’t been able to find one. I’ll keep looking. I hope this isn’t the start of something, to where vinyl becomes so expenditure-heavy, that people give up on the medium.
In our first hour, we listen to tunes you might find familiar if you’ve been listening to this show over the years. Every October, I try to come up with a concept to honor the great month and of course to keep things as compelling as possible. If you’ve noticed a pattern over the last few weeks, you might see that in the first hour, we go for the familiar and in the second hour, we attempt to mix it up a bit.
Kiss guitar man Ace Frehley has passed away. I met him in New York years ago, at Carnegie Hall. It was extremely cool to converse with a true Rock legend.
Not a few hours ago, Engineer X and I put the finishing touches on our show for next week. Life does not hand out many guarantees, but hopefully the tunes will please you no end.
We hope you like the show we’ve prepared for you. Thank you so much for tuning in. Until next week, stay Fanatic.
