RADIO BROADCAST #863
10–18–25
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.
