There is a very cool release I’ve been waiting to tell you about that’s finally announcing. Our good pal and sonic ally Heather The Jerk is putting out a vinyl release of her excellent previously released on cassette album, Scroll If You Love Devil. Ms. Heather sent me a test pressing several weeks ago. It’s great.

I always get the feeling that with every release, the very talented and very prolific John Dwyer’s just getting warmed up. Yes, Fanatic, he’s done it again. A new live album.
