Fanatic! November is here. Where I live, it’s still pretty warm. The weather hasn’t seem to have snapped yet. Yesterday, we had a “friends and family day” at the Radar615 Gallery so my neighbors and some people I work with could check out the Cool Evidence exhibit. It’s early in the morning Friday and I have to get going to the gallery for doors in a few hours. I have no idea if anyone will show up, but hopefully some people will come by.
The last few days have been a great learning experience. I watched these three expert art hangers put about 100 things up on several walls. They were done in a little under eight hours. I think it looks good, but I also know that what I think is good, might be uninteresting to other people, so actually, I have no idea whatsoever what anyone else will make of it. Those who showed up yesterday seem to dig it. I’m sure there will be some photos of things online. I’ve been working to do this for quite a while, so it’s great to finally be making this happen.
For our first November show, we wanted to try to change the mood somewhat. Hopefully, you’ll have a good time with what we have selected. Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate November. As I have perhaps said in these notes previously, I find November to be the thinking person’s October. Perhaps more introspective and contemplative. That’s what we were hoping to get across in tonight’s gathering of tunes. I appreciate the early darkness. When I was younger, it used to be depressing, but now I really like it. If you’re in Nashville, try and make it by the gallery to check out what we’ve got going on. Otherwise, have an amazing weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week. So far, my favorite days of October were spent in Ann Arbor, Michigan a few days ago. I went to visit my longtime pal Kathy Asheton, sister of Ron and Scott, Asheton. It’s always good to see her. We met at the house she grew up in, which is still in the family. It’s the house where the Stooges first started practicing. It’s pretty damn cool, I must say. Not only was it great to see her and be in Stoogeland, one of my favorite places to be, but the weather in Ann Arbor was amazing. The leaves are turning, and it was excellent to be outside. The night before I dropped in on her, I went out for a long walk until almost midnight, just taking in the cold air. I didn’t want to leave, but I’ve got a lot of things happening that I have to prepare for. In a couple of days, we will start putting pieces of art in the Radar615 Gallery, and getting them up on the walls. We’ve been working on the Cool Evidence event since April and now we’re only days away. It’s going to be a high output/low sleep environment for about a week but I think it’s going to be really good and I can’t express how excited I am to finally be doing this.
It was our good pal and sonic ally, Fanatic Denise who told me there was a new White Fence album. It’s called Orange and I haven’t heard any of it yet. How that one got by me, I’d like to say I don’t know, but I do know: I’m old and a lot of things get by me. Anyway, I got a copy and I will get tracks into upcoming shows as soon as possible. I’m a fan of anything Tim Presley does. Ty Segall played the drums and produced it! I‘m listening now. So good. https://whitefence.bandcamp.com/album/orange
I have a lot of work to do, so I apologize that these notes will be a bit abbreviated. I had a few meetings yesterday that took a while, adding in traffic, the day went late into the night and today is going to be pretty much the same.
If you look below, you will see the gathering of tunes for our last show for October 2026. I tried to make it very October. We end the show and the October programming with one of the greatest songs ever. I hope you enjoyed the shows we put together for you over this great month. I also hope that the month didn’t go by too quickly for you. I did my best to be outside as much as possible. I’ve been very busy and so the month did kind of fly by, but the drive to and from Michigan was extraordinary and I’m grateful to have been able to see the autumn weather there and also in the great state of Ohio. Speaking of Ohio, during one of my meetings today, someone I was speaking with mentioned the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and tossed out an idea about potentially doing something that involved the place. I said that I’d consider it as soon as they induct Devo and the Cramps. Until then, no thanks.
We have started work on the November shows, and just my opinion, they’re going to be great. We’re going to start playing some of the bands I saw at Gonerfest, Katie Alice Greer, tracks from Kilynn Lunsford’s new album and more. It’s going to be a great time on Friday nights at KCRW, so tune in if you can. This time next week, I will hopefully have a building full of happy people digging all the cool stuff on the walls. If you can make it, please come by.
There’s a great guy in town named Eric, he’s very supportive and was right on board with the event and allowed me to do a brief TV spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fJr-i9aH5U
Nashville Scene Is a weekly paper who has also been extremely supportive. I’m very grateful for the time they spent with me several days ago. https://www.nashvillescene.com/music/coverstory/henry-rollins-radar615-punk-archives-history-exhibit/article_54f03c9f-850f-4d83-83e3-c9a0f889676e.html
Be careful on the weekend, people can get a little wild out there. Enjoy the rest of October and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and were able to listen to some music. I’ve been mostly checking out the Joy Division Eternal box set, which is great, as well as records by the bands I saw at Gonerfest. Over the last several days, I spent a lot of time at a studio, tracking the audio version of my next book Bait Dog Boy. That was about 26 hours of reading out loud. The weather has finally decided to resemble autumn and I’m spending as much time as I can outside, walking.
Fanatic Denise gave me the heads up on this new Boris record. I haven’t heard a second of it, but it’s Boris, so of course, I ordered a copy. I just got the heads up that it’s on the way. As always, I can’t wait. https://boris.merchtable.com/music/boris-x-duran-qi-kitagarusupido-the-evilone-which-sobs-vinyl-lp/?
I did not know that Katie Alice Greer had a new album out until a few days ago. It’s called Perfect Woman Sound Machine, Vol. 1. Her stuff is really cool. We’ll get into it very soon. https://katiealicegreer.bandcamp.com/album/perfect-woman-sound-machine-vol-1
Kilynn Lunsford has a new album out called I Woke Up In the Body Of Peter Pan With A Pinocchio Nose. She’s awesome. You might remember we played tracks from her previous record, Promiscuous Genes. From the notes on the page, the new one is a compilation of live and studio tracks. The vinyl version sold out, but hopefully she will make some more. Remember, she was in that insanely cool band Taiwan Housing Project, also, the band Little Claw. We’ll get into this record in our second November show. I’m listening to it right now as I’m putting together these notes. It’s great. The version of the song Promiscuous Genes on this record is so cool. In just doing what she does, Kilynn effortlessly escapes genre, category, and any expectation. It’s the track-to-track uncertainty she establishes over and over that I find fascinating.

Fanatic! I hope you had a good week and got some great October listening in. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in traffic and in the studio working on an audiobook as well as doing press for the upcoming Cool Evidence exhibit in November. I’ve been up early and out the door the entire week so I’m a bit behind on listening. I hope to catch up a bit over the weekend.
It’s Miriam Linna’s birthday! We’ve been playing a Miriam-related track in our second hour for quite a few months now. She has a substantial grip on music history and I’ve learned quite a bit from her. Happy birthday, Miriam!
I’ve been writing up placards for the Cool Evidence event and making some last-minute changes in what we’re going to put on the walls. There’s a lot to do, but it’s great to finally be so close to November 6 and 7.
Not only does Liz Harris have a new Helen album out but there’s also a solo record set for November called Music For Two Films About Water. https://grouper.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-two-films-about-water

As a reward for “getting it all done,” at the end of the day, I’ve been getting in a lot of walking at night. I’m trying to get as much October weather through my system as possible. Although I wish the nights were cooler, they’re good enough and it’s been great to be outside. I’m trying to get as much music played as well. Right now, there’s a lot of new records to listen to. I guess, if you’re open minded enough, there’s always a lot of new records to listen to.

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week. We had a few days of autumn weather, but then like some cruel joke, the temperatures went back up into the low 90s.
Last Saturday, I was at Gonerfest 23 in Memphis. I was the MC for the night shift. I saw some really great bands: Zoh Amba, the Lotts, the Slippers, Ibex Clone, Retail Simps, the Drags, and Death.
Before I went to the site, I spent a cool afternoon with the members of Death at Phillips Studio. It was amazing to stand in the same room where the Cramps recorded Songs The Lord Taught Us. Of course, it’s not the only band that ever made a record there. The list of bands and musicians who have been in that building is incredible. A lot of the inside hasn’t been changed from when it was first put together. It was walking back into the past.
Next month, we’re going to listen to the bands that I saw at the festival. I think you’re going to like them, if you haven’t heard them already. I knew about Death and Ibex Clone, but the others were new to me.
This is going to be really cool. Two great reissues of The Fall: Fall In A Hole, and 77–Early Years–79, are slated for reissue, November 27 on the excellent Superior Viaduct label. Anytime you see anything coming out on Superior Viaduct, just know that it’s going to be excellent quality. Can’t wait for these. I got the files for Fall In A Hole from the label. Apparently, this is the first time the audio has been sourced from the master tape. I compared it to previous masterings and this new one is quite an improvement. How am I not surprised? Superior Viaduct does not mess around. Definitely a label to keep your eye on. https://www.superiorviaduct.com/collections/the-fall-2026
I was able to get the Joy Division Eternal live box set. Apparently it went out of print and now the prices are increasing online. I’m sorry about this. Next month, we’ll start working in tracks from the set. In an effort to make it last, I’m listening to one CD a night, and so far it’s really good. If you’re a fan of the bootlegs, none of the shows are unfamiliar, but the sound quality is very good.
Two nights ago, I listened to the new 7FO album, Hirotta Ishiga Wareta. Really good. My limited skills of description do not enable me to accurately depict how the tracks sound, but you can go to their Bandcamp page and check out the tracks. https://emrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hirotta-ishiga-wareta
I keep coming back to the Toinen Vaihe album by Draamakuu, which is Draama Helmi and Jonna Karanka. Jonna sent me the tracks several weeks ago. It’s a really cool record, and we have a track from it on the show tonight. I’m unable to describe it, but here’s the page on Bandcamp, so you can check it out. https://fonal.bandcamp.com/album/toinen-vaihe
I’ve been putting a lot of work into the Substack page I started last month. It’s been really cool being able to throw images in so easily. I used 78 last month.

This is my low-tech attempt at a press release for an event I’m doing in Nashville at the beginning of November.
Henry Rollins: Cool Evidence
Captured Moments From The Last Century
Radar615 Gallery / MZA Architecture and Interiors
November 6 & 7
Hello, Henry Rollins here. I wrote the following in an effort to somehow entice you to come to this event. An incredible amount of time, effort and expenditure has gone into this. I’ve either gotten it extremely right, or catastrophically wrong!
For many years, I’ve been fascinated with historical markers. Physical objects that still remain years after they were created, become irrefutable evidence of time and place. Memories fade and retelling of facts often leads to distortion. However, the genuine article remains unperturbed.
Something I’ve done, which is probably ridiculous, but is quite demonstrative of what’s behind the Cool Evidence exhibit—I’ve anthropomorphized Time. I think Time seeks to obliterate the past and make the future all but completely speculative in an effort to keep us in the present, where it can be the center of attention. This is why carbon-based artifacts turn to dust, and that which came before can completely disappear, unless there are those who choose to be careful and patient guardians of the past. They seek to slow down decay and keep the facts intact. While I don’t consider Time to be my enemy, I’d like to think it considers me a constant and persistent annoyance.
Humans are capable of the worst things the planet has ever endured. I try to focus on the truly great, epically inspired aspects of humanity. Everything in the Cool Evidence exhibit denotes a time and place, be it an event, or just the fraction of a second it takes for a camera to extract an image—forcing a testimony from Time that humans can be exceptional. There’s always an alternative to misery. The Cool Evidence exhibit is the proof.
You could also just say that Cool Evidence is a collection of really interesting items that has taken me decades to assemble, and hopefully those who come to check it out will have a great experience.
On display will be things from the 70s-80s Washington DC music scene, tour posters and photos of Black Flag, the Damned, the Cramps, from Lux and Ivy’s personal collection, Iggy Pop, the Stooges and more.
I’d like to thank Lain York of Radar615 for his unwavering enthusiasm in allowing this project to materialize. When I pitched him on the idea months ago, he didn’t hesitate.
Thanks for reading this,
Henry
The Cool Evidence exhibit is free.

Fanatic! I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to October. Where I’m located, the heat seems to be gone for the year.
This is our last September show. We are well underway with our October shows and will be putting the finishing touches on the first one for the month in the next few days.
I don’t think I have any records to give you the heads up on that we didn’t cover last week or the weeks before.
We have gathered what will hopefully be a great soundtrack to start your weekend. I’ve listened to all of these tracks a few times now and I think they work well together. Really looking forward to the new Helen record. I keep checking the Bandcamp page to see if there are more tracks to listen to, but so far, there aren’t. There are some great records lined up for lease over the next several months, which will give us a lot to listen to, and until then, a lot to look forward to. I know of two records that are done and on their way to their respective labels. When they arrive, we will absolutely check them out. Really cool music. If you go to the Bandcamp page for Snooper, you will see they have a new track you can check out. Really good.

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and that the temperatures were cooler than they've been where I am. Not trying to complain, but I’m done with 90° plus weather.
A few days ago, I was the guest speaker for a class at Vanderbilt called Dangerous Ideas. The professor who teaches the class and I had met weeks before and came up with a program for me to execute. I told three anecdotes where I would set up the story and right before I told the class what action I took, they were given a few minutes at their tables to confer with one another as to what they might have done in that situation. I was surprised how many people contributed answers. The best part was how thoughtful and sharp these young people were. It was incredibly inspiring. The only drag was moving from building to building in 97° heat. Other than that it was a great day on a beautiful campus. College looks like it might be a great time. Access to so much information, next level fitness facilities, libraries, food opportunities. I don’t know much about university life, but I’ve been to quite a few universities for a few hours at a time and it seems like a great way to spend a few years.
Buying records from overseas has become quite punishing. I don’t do it nearly as often as I used to. I just can’t justify the expense. I had to rebel against myself when I saw there was a new 7FO record. I think it’s going to take a while for the vinyl to arrive, but I’ve been enjoying the download that came with it. I put a track from it into an upcoming show for us to check out. Em Records is an interesting label. You can listen to tracks from the new 7FO album here: https://emrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hirotta-ishiga-wareta
A week from tomorrow, I'm going to be the MC for the evening half Of GonerFest In Memphis. Death is playing. That should be really cool.
I’ve been listening to these tracks for the last couple of nights now. The days have been busy and I’m putting a lot of time into workouts. Last night, I got out of the gym right before midnight. I’ve got to get my schedule together.
Hopefully, you will find tonight’s mix of tunes to be to your liking. Thank you so much for tuning in. Have a great weekend and stay Fanatic!

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.
https://dischord.com/release/203/the-mark
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ms. Heather sent me a test pressing several weeks ago. It’s great.

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.

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
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.

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!
The new Memo PST LP Eternal Actors is really good.

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!!!
