Fanatic. I hope you had a great week. Over the last several weeks I’ve been giving listening time priority to 7” records. Now I’ve got a small stack of LPs I need to attend to. It’s going to be a good weekend of listening. 

I don’t know if you’re aware of this Joy Division release set for later this month. It’s called Eternal: Live. This is the description from the New Order website:

14 CDs - Audio From 16 Live Performances, Sourced From Audience Cassettes, Soundboard Tapes, And Broadcast Recordings, All Mastered At Abbey Road Studios 

2 DVDs - Over 2hrs 30mins Of Live Footage, Including The Plan K Brussels Concert, Two Apollo Theatre Manchester Concerts, A Soundcheck, And A New Edit Of Joy Division - A Malcolm Whitehead Film 

1 X 16-Page Booklet - With Personal Notes By Simon Armitage And Photography By Anton Corbijn And Kevin Cummins 

12” X 12” Lift-Off Lid Box - Artwork By Warren Jackson, Peter Saville, Howard Wakefield And Brett Wickens, With Cover Photography (Sirius Through A Defocused Telescope, 2023) By Wolfgang Tillmans

I have no inside information whatsoever, but I wonder if this box set is a reaction to the constant flow of Joy Division bootlegs on the Internet. It’s the same shows and demos, over and over, year after year. I’m guessing the box it will be a lot of these shows but maybe better sound quality and everything pitch corrected. I pre-ordered a copy. I’m very curious. There’s no way I wasn’t going to check it out. I’ll get tracks onto the show as soon as I can. 

Every day, the temperature is past 90°, yet leaves are falling off the trees on my street. It’s autumn, but it’s not. I’ve been working on our September shows and have come up with a pretty good way to test them. Every night after I finished all my work, I walk for 1-3 hours. I use this time to think through things, take in the air and be outside. The frogs seemed to be done for the year, but the insects are hanging in there and they make a lot of noise. I listen to the tracks for our radio show while I’m walking. So far, I think we have a good September soundtrack for you.

I don’t know if you might have pre-ordered the new Dinosaur Jr. album There Near but mine arrived a couple of days ago. I’m going to listen to it over the weekend. 

The new Bed Maker 7” on Dischord is really good.

I listened to an album called Spirits And Ancestors yesterday. It features our good pal and sonic ally Mark Cisneros, who you might remember from Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds, and Hammered Hulls. On this recording, Mark is playing saxophone with drummer Nik Francis. I really like it. We’ll get tracks into the show in a few weeks. You can check it out on Bandcamp. https://markcisnerosmusic.bandcamp.com/album/spirits-and-ancestors

There’s a new Party Dozen album called 21 Bum Salute. It sets to release on November 6. Can’t wait to hear this one. There’s not one of their records. I don’t like.

Fanatic! Here we are in a new season. I don’t know what the calendar is saying but as far as I’m concerned, it’s autumn. It hit 95° where I am today. 
 
Last Friday night, I was in Kansas City at a really cool event. Chuck Armstrong and I presented the Cramps Gravest Gravy album in a great listening room with an extremely solid playback set up. The record sounded great and I think everyone had a good time.

I flew back to Nashville on Saturday morning. And soon after made my way down to the Radar615 Gallery for the Alicja Trout event. I was stoked and relieved that people showed up. The next event Lain, the man who runs the place and I will be doing will be on November 5 and 6. That’s Friday and Saturday night. We’ll be putting up part of my collection, which will include posters, photographs, and other objects from the Washington, DC late 70s early 80s music scene, Black Flag, the Misfits, the Cramps, the Stooges, the Birthday Party, the Damned, the Adverts, Buzzcocks, Gun Club, The Fall, the U.K. Subs, the Ruts, and others. Many of the photographs, if not most of them that will be on the walls, have never been published. Like I said, this event isn’t until November, so I’ll be reminding you again. I just wanted you to know about this. I think it’s going to be great. I hope you get a chance to check it out. The event is free, however, Lain and I will be shouldering some expenses. He calls it, “brutal generosity,” which not only fits perfectly, but is very funny. 
 
Several months ago, it was suggested to me that I start a Substack page. I was working on a lot of other things and put the idea to the side. Then, one day on the treadmill, where I allow my thoughts to go wherever they want, I started coming up with ideas for a page that could be good. I figured the one thing I could not do was to be low on material and be unable to put something up for people. I decided to start work on the project in April and decided to start posting things on September 1. The reason I didn’t announce it until today is because I wanted the potential reader to have several pages to look through, to get an idea of what I’m doing. This is the address to find it:
 

https://henryrollins.substack.com/

 
I’m charging five dollars a month. Why isn’t it free? That’s a fair question, for which I have an answer. I think free could potentially inspire a lack of effort on the creative end of things, that is to say, me. If it’s free, and I don’t post something for a few days, you have no room to complain—it’s free. But if you’re paying, you rightfully expect something for your money. Although I don’t need that kind of pressure to get anything done, I think it’s a good thing. Once I put myself into something, I can be quite committed. So, you can check it out for a month and if it’s no good, you’ll know. I hope you do, but if you don’t, that’s okay. So far, there’s about 5000 words and quite a few photos there already.

I’ve been looking forward to our September shows. We’ve been working on them for several days. Hopefully you’ll find this to be a good soundtrack for the start of your first September weekend this year. Please stay hydrated. It’s a fact that a lot of people don’t upload nearly enough liquid. It’s not good for you. Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

The interview with James Spooner at Skirball last Sunday went well. The newly restored version of his excellent documentary, Afro-Punk was great. James’ new book, It Starts With Anger, is a really good read. 

I’m in Kansas City today for a listening event for the Cramps Gravest Gravy album at a place called the Lystening Room. https://www.centerforrecordedmusic.org/listyningroom

I’m doing another one in Memphis in October at the Memphis Listening Lab. Both events are sold out. 

I started noticing several days ago that even though it’s hot and humid day after day, leaves are starting to fall off the trees. I became curious as to why this would happen. Being a fan of seasonal change, I thought it might be September sneaking in to start showing August that it’s on the way out. Of course, there has to be a far more reality-based, less poetic reason, although I really do like the idea. After a few seconds of research, I found out that this is often what trees do as a means of survival. By shedding leaves, they don’t use as much water. I saw a phrase that was completely new to me: false autumn. The summer, where I am, has been plenty hot, but it’s also been noticeably dry, so maybe that’s what’s happening.  

Fanatic, this is our last summer broadcast. A quick scan of the playlist will show you that we’re double dosing with Charles M. Bogert and his pack of loquacious amphibians. Also, a David Bowie track for each hour, both from his Lodger album. Such an interesting record. Of all his many amazing albums, it’s Lodger and Scary Monsters I have the most questions about. We’ve already started our programming for Fanatic autumn 2026 and will definitely be checking out some Scary Monsters tracks. It’s a great time of the year to listen to a lot of music. I find that I prefer the transitional months of the year to the ones that are peaking. I’m definitely looking forward to earlier sunsets and lower temperatures.

Yesterday, Lain, the man who runs the Radar615 Gallery and I put Alicja Trout’s collection on the walls for eight hours. We went at it nonstop. I learned a lot. It looks great. I was texting Alicja our progress and she likes the look of it. She will be showing up on Saturday. I will be there as well. It’s going to be a good time. If you’re in town, please come by. 

Upcoming: 

Friday August 28 and Saturday August 29, Alicja Trout’s cool collection of posters, flyers and original artwork will be up for free viewing at 

Radar615 

516 Hagan Street, suite 100

Nashville TN 37203

https://www.radar615.com

The space will be open from 4 pm until 9 pm on both dates.

Also, get ready for another two day event Lain and I are doing at the gallery on November 6 and 7. When we get closer to the dates, I’ll supply you with more information. He and I have been working on this one for months. To say that we’re stoked, is an understatement.

We very much hope you’ll find this last Fanatic Summer 2026 broadcast to be a great soundtrack to start your weekend. Thanks to everyone who showed up at Skirball last week and thanks in advance for attending our very cool event at Radar615 this weekend. We will be back with you in September. Have a fantastic weekend and stay Fanatic.

This is an announcement about a book I have coming out next year in early March. It was about three years of work. The editing process was quite involved, it went on and off for about a year, but it’s now finished. The great Raymond Pettibon did the cover artwork. 

https://www.instagram.com/randomhousebooks/reel/DcO43khGrBg/

Heather The Jerk’s very cool album, Scroll If You Love Devil, has gotten a vinyl release. It sounds great. You can find it here.

https://heatherthejerk.bandcamp.com/album/scroll-if-you-love-devil

We are listening to a band from Berlin tonight called Teamwork. Cool record. Here’s more information.

https://teamworkworks.bandcamp.com/album/somebodys-gotta-do-it-2

By now, you might have seen the news about an amazing Cramps album called Gravest Gravy. I think it’s as good as all the hype around it. For months, we worked in secret, getting this record together. If you look online, you can probably see some interviews I’ve been doing on behalf of the record. We recently mastered our next Cramps project, which will come out next year. Ian MacKaye and I have finished work on yet another Cramps release, and later this year we’ll be working on another. If you’re a Cramps fan, you are in for a great time. In September, there’s a two song 7” from the sessions coming out, called More Gravy!. It features TV Set on the A side, with an alternate vocal than the one on Gravest Gravy, and a different mix of Can’t Find My Mind on the B side. The test pressings just came back and they sound great. Not exactly sure of the release date for that, but it will arrive at some point in September. When that firms up, I’ll let you know. 

https://thecramps.bandcamp.com/album/gravest-gravy

A professor at Vanderbilt University asked if I would be a guest speaker at one of his classes next month. Completely out of my depth, of course, I said yes. I just confirmed that for September 15. He and I met weeks ago and discussed topics. I’m going to sit in on one of his classes beforehand, so I can get the lay of the land if you will. I’ve spoken at a lot of universities, in a lot of classrooms, but this one seems different. I’m very much looking forward to it.

Next week, Lain, the man who runs the Radar615 Gallery, and I will be hanging the Alicja Trout collection of her flyers and posters from the many excellent bands she’s been in. That’s going to be a long day. I will be presenting the Cramps album in Kansas City the next night and then flying back to be at the gallery for Saturday night. 

Upcoming:

Sunday, August 23, 3 pm at the Skirball Cultural Center, I will be interviewing James Spooner.

https://www.skirball.org/programs/it-starts-anger-afternoon-james-spooner-and-henry-rollins

Friday August 28 and Saturday August 29, Alicja Trout’s cool collection of posters, flyers and original artwork will be up for viewing at 

Radar615 

516 Hagan Street, suite 100

Nashville TN 37203

The space will be open from 4 pm until 9 pm on both dates.

I know this has been a bit of an information overload. Actually, there’s more, but I’ll get to it in the weeks upcoming. Looking forward to the event at Skirball on Sunday. James Spooner is a highly intelligent and extremely interesting person. 

Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a spectacular week filled with music and healthy levels of hydration. Extremely hot where I am. I’ve been doing a thing I’ve come to look forward to. At the end of every day, no matter how much time I’ve spent in the gym or how many hours I’ve been awake, I walk for a minimum of an hour. No music, just my thoughts. Last night, I went for 71 minutes and barely felt it. I put a fairly good dent in the boxes of 7”records and got in some great listening.

Fanatic, tonight we will be listening to our annual Case Of The Punks broadcast. I always look forward to this one. I think summer is the perfect time for all of the tracks we’re playing tonight. All of these bands have stories and their catalogs are definitely worth checking out. Some of the bands like the Machines, are not as easy to locate records of as a band like the Damned. Hopefully, there’s some tracks you might not have heard before or haven’t heard in a long time and your curiosity gets fired up. 

We’re already working on our shows for early September. As far as time goes, I’m not looking for things to go quickly as I try to get the most out of every day and by remaining active, or at least committed to something workwise, I can make the most of the time. I will say that I’m looking forward to a break from this heat. It’s going to be roasting where I live for at least a week. 

Fanatic, please look at these upcoming events below, and if you’re nearby, come on by. More to announce soon.

Upcoming:

Sunday, August 23 2 PM at the Skirball Cultural Center, I will be interviewing James Spooner.

Some cool bands I’ve been listening to that you might want to check out:

Fanatic Denise turned me onto this cool band called Spacemoth. You might remember we played one of their tracks a couple of weeks ago. Definitely worth checking out. 

https://ssspacemoth.bandcamp.com/album/inward-eye-2

That cool band we’ve been listening to now and then over the last several months, Added Dimensions, thankfully made a vinyl pressing of their first release, which I believe was cassette only. The great Hozac Records label is releasing it. Looking forward to this one.

https://hozacrecords.bandcamp.com/album/s-t-demo

A new album by 1-800-MIKEY called In Yun comes out on September 4. Mastered by the great Mikey Young. We will start tracks on August 28. https://1-800-mikey.bandcamp.com/album/in-yun-2

ViRG is worth checking out. If you go to her Bandcamp page, look on the left, you’ll see a song called Criminal Record. I think it’s easily one of the coolest tracks I’ve heard this year. The rest of the album is cool too. We’re going to have to wait a while for it, so far, it’s slated for a November release. Definitely something to look forward to. We will be playing Criminal Record on the show in a couple of weeks. https://virg.bandcamp.com/

On August 23, I will be at Skirball, interviewing James Spooner about his new book It Starts With Anger. I’m looking forward to it. You can get more information here: https://www.skirball.org/programs/it-starts-anger-afternoon-james-spooner-and-henry-rollins

Last Sunday, Ian MacKaye told me about Jennifer. It’s been catching me off guard in the days since. 

We have a great show for you tonight. On behalf of myself, young Engineer X and Engineer Am-Rock, we thank you for tuning in. Have a great weekend and stay Fanatic.

While you’re sleeping, John Dwyer is making another record.

https://ohsees.bandcamp.com

I just pre-ordered this record by Amanar De Kidal called Kel Tamasheq. Sounds great, can’t wait to hear the vinyl.

https://amanardekidal.bandcamp.com/album/kel-tamasheq

Here’s a note about something I’m doing at the end of August.

I’ve been a fan of musician and artist Alicja Trout for years. I’m guessing I first became aware of her work from a band she had with Jay Reatard called Lost Sounds. Liking those records, I started looking around for other bands she might have been in and quickly found out she’d released a lot of music through several different bands like Sweet Knives, Ultracats, Clears, River City Tanlines, Black Sundays, and C.C. Riders. I found the records and liked all of them. I’ve been playing her music on KCRW for years. It seems she’s always working on something. 

Several months ago, she contacted me and said a university near her offered to display her poster and flyer collection. I asked her what she planned on doing with all the materials after they came down. She said the university was interested in archiving them. I’ve found that universities are the bottomless vacuum that disappears collections, soon forgets they have them and by doing so, deprives people of the opportunity to see the pieces. I asked if she would consider letting me archive her collection. She thought it over and said yes. Days later, I went to Memphis and picked the collection up. 

As I was photographing the pieces, to make a visual inventory so both Alicja and I would be able to have a basic idea of what was there, it occurred to me that perhaps it might be an idea to put up her collection in Nashville. I contacted my pal Lain York over at Radar615, sent him the folder of images, and asked if he might be interested in hosting this for a couple of days. He said yes and we got to work. 

Alicja’s cool collection of posters, flyers and original artwork will be up for viewing on Friday August 28 and Saturday August 29. The space will be open from 4 pm until 9 pm on both dates. I will be there on Saturday.

Radar615 is located at

516 Hagan Street, suite 100

Nashville TN 37203

https://www.radar615.com

If you’re in the area and can make the time, please come by. 

I must say, I’m looking forward to this event. The flyers and posters are really cool. I’m so thankful to Lain for his enthusiasm and his great venue. He and I have another project we're working on for November. Later this year, I’ll tell you all about it. 

We have a great gathering of tunes for you tonight, which we hope you will enjoy. Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week. I’ve been trying to catch up on 7” listening. I have a cool set up at my desk that allows me to move to my right and put on a record which makes getting them on and off the turntable quite efficient. I’m going through an old Carver receiver I’ve had for many years into my trusted Yamaha NS-10 speakers. I know some people don’t like them as they can be hard on the ears. In front of each cabinet, I have a piece of cloth hanging in front, which sands off the edges a bit. I really like their precision, and at this point, have grown quite used to them. This is what I’ve listened to over the last several days.

Fanatic! If you’re listening to the show within the borders of the USA, you’re in place for a major holiday weekend. If you’re east of the Mississippi River, you might be in for some hot weather. Hydration is key and if you’re on the road over this holiday weekend, please be careful. Statistically, it’s not exactly the best time to be on the highway. 

There’s a new Dinosaur Jr. album called There Near, slated for release in late August. You can hear a track now at Bandcamp. Sounds great. Can’t wait for the rest. https://dinosaurjr.bandcamp.com/album/there-near

There’s a new live Devo album, released on the amazing Futurismo label. It’s called Nitrous Nightmare Halloween Live ‘75. My copy arrived yesterday. Looking forward to hearing it. Delaney, the label’s owner, had been telling me about this one for a long time. Futurismo is definitely a label you should check out. They always do an amazing job with whatever they release.

https://futurismoinc.bandcamp.com/album/nitrous-nightmare-halloween-live-75

Tonight, we listen to a new track by Sleep. You can get more information about it on Bandcamp.

https://sleep.bandcamp.com/album/have-spacesuit-will-travel-4-20-flexi-edit

I’ve been in the studio all day, making quick mixes of several multitrack tapes. Basically, an audio notebook. As you can imagine, final results from this kind of thing can often take a long time. We start the work now for releases to be realized several months later. It’s a long game we’re playing here, and preparation is key. Stay tuned.

We have a great show for you tonight, as we start our Fanatic July 2026 programming. The summer is definitely with us, and hopefully you will find tonight’s soundtrack, on the eve of a big holiday, much to your liking. Please stay safe, stay hydrated and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and were able to get some music played. I listened to the new J Zunz album Obsidiana a few nights ago. I found it to be very lowkey. It might take some time for it to grow on me. 

https://jzunz.bandcamp.com/album/obsidiana

The new Dion Lunadon album Rare Gems Volume One is out. 

https://dionlunadon.bandcamp.com/album/rare-gems-volume-one

I was doing an interview the other day and I was joking with a person and asked when he thought the next John Dwyer project would come out and the guy said something like he’s probably done a couple since we started speaking. He wasn’t far off. John is relentless! Behold!

https://ohsees.bandcamp.com

The new Memo PST LP Eternal Actors is really good.

https://intheredrecords.com/collections/memo-pst/products/memo-pst-eternal-actors-lp

This kingsnake was on my driveway a few days ago.

That’s the third species of snake I’ve seen around here. Last year, or the year before, I saw a large timber rattlesnake that had unfortunately chosen to cross a busy road. There’s a great application you can get on your phone called the Merlin Bird ID. It allows you to photograph or record the sound of birds and it will identify them for you. So far, I’ve identified the Barred Owl, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Wren, Eastern Bluebird, and the Great Crested Fly Catcher. There’s more birds around here, including what seems to be two different kinds of Woodpeckers, also Robins and Cardinals, but it’s hard to get close enough to get a photo before they take off. https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org

Fanatic, now that we are so far off the beaten track of music, please allow me to stray slightly further. You might be too young to remember, but there was a comic, perhaps it was syndicated, it was about a guy named Mark Trail. You can find images of it online. There’s a new artist rendering him, which is a bit jarring, but the one I remember, you will recognize easily, for the simple reason it just looks old. He was always there with his nature tips. I always thought he was pretty cool. Anyway, if you want to go into the way back machine, he’s waiting for you with his shiny hair.

Music. Right. We have assembled for you what you will hopefully find to be a tremendous list of tunes. Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Depending where you are in the world, you might be experiencing warm to hot weather. For example, Australia is in winter. At the time of this writing, beautiful Melbourne is experiencing 57° and a severe weather advisory is in place. Wind gusts up to 33 mph! Meanwhile, in Washington DC, it’s damn near 100°. As far as I’m concerned, it’s summer. Warm weather listening is happening. Unrest, Air Miami, and other offshoots of Mark Robinson are in play. Infotainment Scan by The Fall, the U.K. Subs, and several others are back. I think something really cool happens when music goes through warm air. For many years, it’s been my opinion that music sounds better at elevated temperatures. Some bands, like the Cramps, who I think we might have played on our show once or twice over the years, is excellent warm-to-hot weather listening. Early Birthday Party, Machine Gun Etiquette by the Damned, and so many others. I think a Fanatic is, as they say, spoiled for choice. 

Yesterday, I was stoked to see a young gray rat snake on the back porch.

It was the first snake sighting of the year and I hope not the last. 

Fanatic, tonight’s selection of tunes, starting with Dr. Charles M Bogert and his frog squad, I hope you will find to be great summer listening. For Fanatics in Australia, or any other parts of the world where the weather is the opposite, these tracks are for your enjoyment as well.

Fanatic, you might notice that in our second hour we have a track by an artist called ViRG, fighting out of Leesburg, Virginia, and weeks away from releasing her next record, Why Not Destroy This? My apologies for not knowing about this music before ViRG, otherwise known as Piano Whitman, kindly sent me the track we’re listening to tonight. I will get more ViRG music into upcoming shows. I think the music is really cool. https://virg.bandcamp.com

No matter where you are, please never forget the importance of hydration, the dangers of prolonged exposure to the sun, and that whenever possible, have some music on. Thank you for tuning in and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! You will hopefully be overjoyed to know it’s June and the frogs are back. A brief glance below will show you that we start this amazing month with the thrilling sounds of the green tree frog. 

Just back from a great mixing experience with Ian MacKaye for a project that will be released when the label we did the work for says so. Something to look forward to. I’m still trying to get my body out of the shape of a car seat. 

Unsurprisingly, our good pal and sonic ally John Dwyer has released another record. 

Off Course: https://ohsees.bandcamp.com/album/off-course

Whoops, there’s another one.

Cara Maluco: https://ohsees.bandcamp.com/album/cara-maluco-ep-etched-b-side

We have for you tonight, a bountiful batch of tunes that we hope you will enjoy. 

Have a tremendous night of listening, a well hydrated weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic, you might remember over the last several weeks, I’ve been telling you about a record Larry Hardy, Ian and I had been working on. Not the excellent U.K. Subs EP, which was just unleashed, 
https://intheredrecords.com/collections/store/products/u-k-subs-demo-kicks-12 but yet another. The press release went out two days ago, so now I can tell you all about it. We’ve been waiting for this moment! 
 
On August 21, the Cramps’ label Vengeance will be back in action! First up is a release that’s going to blow your mind. It’s called Gravest Gravy. The title is in reference to the Gravest Hits 12”.
 
Several weeks ago, Larry was going through the tape vault of the Cramps. He came up upon 7 ¼” reels. After a bit of inquiry, he found out these were mixes of tracks the band recorded in October 1977 in Memphis, Tennessee at Ardent studios, with the great Alex Chilton producing. These would be the same sessions that inflicted the first two Cramps 7” records upon the yet-to-be-infected. Wait, there was a time before the Cramps?! It seems hard to imagine, but yes.
 
Legend tells us that the band had been planning on recording their song TV Set as their first A side with another track or tracks. Mr. Chilton advised that they record everything they knew and the best songs would make the record. Luckily for all of us, that’s what the Cramps did. The result was a whole bunch of Cramps music you’ve never heard.
 
Lux and Ivy mixed nine of the twelve tracks in North Hollywood in 1989. Alex Chilton mixed three in Memphis. For reasons lost to time, the project was shelved, even though they had the tracks mixed, the cover photo selected, and a title.
 
Larry decided Gravest Gravy must come out. It might not surprise you that we got to work immediately. Brian Kehew transferred the tapes. I selected the keeper mixes, then sent them and my notes to Ian MacKaye, whose ears I trust more than anyone. He listened to all the mixes and agreed with my selections. He volunteered to do some level adjustment and EQ work on two of the tracks at Inner Ear Studios with the great Don Zientara. Ian and Don turned that around very quickly. 
 
Several days later, after a running order had been determined by multiple drafts, bounced back and forth between Ian and myself, the tracks landed at Infrasonic Sound in Nashville. Engineer extraordinaire Pete Lyman, mastered the tracks superbly. We had an amazing record that we couldn’t tell anyone about. Several days later, the test pressings came back and the team was floored. It sounds great.
 
Usually, something like this would take between 10 to 15 months or even longer to come out. Larry decided that sooner was better than later. Works for me! Gravest Gravy will be unleashed on August 21, in multiple color variants and CD. 
 
Fanatic, words can barely describe how awesome this record is. You might know that in the early live sets of the Cramps, they did a number of covers that soon left the set as original material edged them out. Those who pay attention to bootlegs or have been in the world of tape trading, might remember the Cramps playing a great version of Hungry by Paul Revere and the Raiders. There’s no way the band would’ve ever put that down on tape, right? It’s on the album, with Alex Chilton joining on keyboard. Also, from their early sets is Problem Child, written by Sam Phillips. You might remember me telling you many times over the years, right before we listened to the Cramps doing their rippin’ version of Rocket In My Pocket released in 1958 by Jimmy Lloyd that I’d pulled from live recordings, that sadly, the band never did a studio version. Well Fanatic, I was wrong! That too is on the record, and it sounds so great. Also, making things interesting, you get versions of tracks that ended up on the Psychedelic Jungle album. The way they sound with Bryan Gregory is quite different. 
 
Here’s the track listing:
 
TV Set
Weekend On Mars
Twist & Shout
Jungle Hop 
Can’t Hardly Stand It
Hungry
The Natives Are Restless
Domino
Can’t Find My Mind
Rockin’ Bones
Problem Child
Rocket In My Pocket  
 
Here’s the cover.

Wow! Photograph by the great Stephanie Chernikowski. Design by Jon Krop
 
The very talented Jason Willis made a video for TV Set.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K3cc9BMqmU
 
Feel free to watch it over and over. I do!
 
Preorder info: https://midheaven.com
 
I’ve worked on a lot of records in almost every capacity there is, and I can honestly say that I’ve never been more excited about a single project I’ve been a part of than Gravest Gravy.
 
You should know that another album of hyper-rare Cramps tracks is finished. The tracks have been mastered and when it’s release time, we’ll let you know. There are more Cramps projects in various stages of completion that will be turned loose over the next several months. We’ll keep you in the loop on all of it. 
 
Stay sick! Turn blue!
 
We would like to acknowledge the passing of the legendary Jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins. 
 
Fanatic, a grand gathering of tunes awaits you. We hope you have a great night of listening and a tremendous weekend. Never forget the importance of hydration and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and got some music listened to. For the last few days, I’ve been not sleeping and moving around the country via airplane. There’s nothing like a big weather system in Dallas to throw your travel plans into chaos. 

You might remember last year, when I appeared to have caused some confusion when I told you Ian MacKaye and I had worked on a record together at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA. The record in question has just been released. We are extremely stoked that it’s finally available. Here’s some information:

U.K. Subs  - Demo Kicks

01. Brand New Age (Harper / Garratt)

02. Kicks (Harper / Garratt)

03. Emotional Blackmail Part 1 (Harper / Garratt)

04. Same Thing (Slack / Harper) that is finally available.

Vocals: Charlie Harper

Guitar: Nicky Garratt

Bass: Paul Slack

Drums: Pete Davies

Recorded at Alvic Sound Studio August 21 1979

Engineer: Steve Smith

Mixed by Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins for RAM Prod.

Session consultant: Eddie Janney / FOE

Inner Ear Studios Arlington, Virginia

Engineer: Don Zientara

Tape transferred and mastered by Pete Lyman

Infrasonic Sound Nashville, Tennessee

Tracks 1–3 previously unreleased

On June 16, 2025, I saw a U.K. Subs multi-track demo tape for sale on eBay, of all places. I got it and sent a photo of the front cover of the tape box, which informs the back cover of this 12” to Subs drummer Pete Davies, to see what he might remember. He said it looked legit. I took the tape to Infrasonic Sound, a great studio in Nashville and asked engineer Pete Lyman if he could transfer the tape. Days later, he sent Ian MacKaye and I a rough mix of the session. I was stoked to hear that three of the four tracks were unreleased. I contacted Ian and suggested we take the tracks to Don Zientara’s Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA (where we made our first records decades ago) to mix them. On September 30 there we were with Don. Due to the tracks being so well recorded, and the band playing so incredibly, our first mix began to take shape very quickly. Part way into the session, Eddie Janney (Untouchables, Faith, Rites Of Spring, One Last Wish, Happy Go Licky, Skewbald) arrived to sit in and we had another Subs fan in attendance. Together, we finished mixing the last two tracks. We brought the mixes to Pete Lyman for mastering. I wrote Subs vocalist Charlie Harper and asked his permission to unleash the tracks and he said go ahead. So, here we are with three unreleased U.K. Subs tunes and a new mix of Same Thing. Studio Kicks, indeed! These songs are finally where they should be—with you.

The record is really good and I hope you get a chance to check it out. We have another record being pressed right now. We will be able to announce in late June and the record will be released in the third week of August. Something to look forward to. 

Today, is Sun Ra’s birthday, so we have included two tracks of his. 

Thanks to Fanatic Jim, I got the heads up that there’s a new record by Cosey Mueller called Embodiment Of Denial. A little less than 90 USD including postage to the USA. As much as it pains me, I think I’ll just be getting the download. We will start tracks soon. In any case, thank you, Fanatic Jim. 

https://coseymueller.bandcamp.com/album/embodiment-of-denial

Tonight, we have a solid group of tunes that will hopefully get your weekend off to a great start. You’ll notice we have a U.K. Subs track from their fourth album Diminished Responsibility. This is the original cover artwork. Still in existence, over 40 years later.

View fullsize

Fanatic, did you know that this show is re-broadcast on Monday nights on KCRW at 10 PM Pacific Standard Time? Well, now you do! 

We hope you enjoy tonight’s show. Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

I’m sorry for the brevity of these notes, but I must file them before people go home. Below are tonight’s tunes. The very idea of Public Enemy going right into Ween is too good not to listen to.

Here’s some information on Draamakuu

Check out these completely crazy auctions that recently happened at Bonham’s

I always wonder where things like that end up. What do you think Brian would say if he saw his guitar go for that much money?! I met him once, in 2007. It was an honor. He was really cool. I never thought I would see any evidence of the cover artwork for Diminished Responsibility. I was texting back-and-forth with Miriam Linna a few days ago. She was on the hunt for some information. We both hit on the fact that when it comes to music, there’s always more to know. It’s been my experience that when it comes to music research, it’s only getting more and more interesting. 

The new Les Rallizes Dénudés release came out digitally today.

https://lesrallizesdenudes.bandcamp.com/album/disque-4-76-studio-et-live

Can’t wait to hear this one on vinyl.

Tonight, we have what you will hopefully find to be a great mix of tunes. I’ve played the tracks through a few times and I think we have a great Friday night soundtrack. Thank you so much for tuning in, have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a tremendous week. Last night, I listened to the new SUNN 0))) album that just came out on Sub Pop. It sounds incredible. If you like the band, I suggest you run and do not walk to this one.

New noise from John Dwyer. A snapshot of music he’s calling Heathen Axe. Looks like the vinyl sold out, but you can still get the download. I hope he presses more.
https://johndwyer.bandcamp.com/album/heathen-axe
 
A new download from Boris is available.
https://boris.bandcamp.com/album/fangsanalsatan-vol-25-in-gifu
 
It’s not for me to get ahead of a band, but I just got a download of a record by one of our good pals and sonic allies that I can’t wait to get onto the show. I don’t see a release date for it anywhere yet, but when I do, I will let you know. Another thing to look forward to.
 
Fanatic, I’m not sure what the calendar says, but as far as I’m concerned, Fanatic Summer starts on the first of May and this is our first summer show. We hope you enjoy our gathering of tunes tonight. Until next week, keep the music going and STAY FANATIC!!!
