Fanatic! Happy April to you. I’m back in Los Angeles after a couple of days in Portland, OR. I had two shows up there. A great time as always.
A fantastic show lined up for you here. It’s this month that we’re able to start bringing you all the new records I picked up recently in Australia and elsewhere.
I think you’ll find yourself familiar with a lot of the music we’ve got lined up for you this time around. Things will be getting very new and interesting in a week or two. On our show for the 22nd, we will be able to start playing you tracks from the new Drinks album Hippo Lite. Can’t wait to start playing those tracks for you.
Right now, I’m rocking a good condition copy of White2 by Sunn 0))). The room is rumbling!
Fill the night with music and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! In Cincinnati, OH. I’ll be onstage soon.
I think I told you last week that there’s a lot of new music that’s come in. I’ve been working away on the April shows and I’m a good way into them. Very excited about you hearing all this new material. The new Drinks album Hippo Lite is great. There’s a new Dog Chocolate album that I just got from our pals at Upset! The Rhythm and I was told we can start playing tracks as soon as we want. Noted! I’ll be hammering away on radio all weekend, so I’ll get those new tracks happening.
A great show we have for you here. We hope you dig it.
Play that funky music and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Back from Australia. I always have a great time there, it's hard to leave.
Just to let you know, something to look forward to. I forget if I told you this or not but when I was in Melbourne weeks ago, I spent about four hours at Strangeworld Records and ended up getting a lot of vinyl. I've been getting through a few LPs a day and there's not a bad on in the bunch. Our mid-April shows will start to show these new tracks. Very excited about being able to bring all this new music to you. I think you’re going to like the bands.
Thanks to Ben over at Kill Rock Stars for sending over the new Lithics album Mating Surfaces, A GREAT ONE! We'll be getting into that one in April. You can check them out here.
It's 0706 hrs. on Friday and I'm listening to this one for the second time in 24 hrs.
Also, Cold Beat from Northern California. Another great band. We'll be getting into their music in April as well. Don't wait, check them now.
Also, Dion Lunadon. Wow! Great record.
Fanatic, we've got SO MUCH new music to check out. I have to stay focused and get all of it together and get it to you over the next several months. That's the test!
Have an analog weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! We’re almost wrapped out of shoot day #09. I’m on a plane right now with one last shot to do once we drop our gear at the hotel. Four more work days to go and then I’m headed back to Los Angeles for awhile.
As per usual, on a shoot schedule like this one, there’s little time to listen to music. It’s more about getting the lights out as soon as possible and getting some sleep before it all starts again. We have nothing but 0600 hrs. calls for the rest of the week.
We have for you here, a great assemblage of tunes, which of course we hope you will like. Much more to come this year as there are a lot of great releases coming out and as well, I have a great stack of vinyl I’ll be lugging back to Los Angeles next week, the best parts of all that will hopefully make it to your ears on this show, sooner than later.
Before we started work this morning, I went through a list of RSD releases. I will get more into it tonight if time permits.
Keep the music happening and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I’m in the back of a van, about an hour out of Moonie, Australia. I’ve been in the country for about a week and a half now. One of the highpoints of the last few days was in Castlemaine, I think it was. I met Leon Stackpole of the Ooga Boogas. He said they will do another record. Can’t wait.
I’ve been in touch with some bands that we like very much and while I’ve been instructed not to reveal any particulars, I can say that we have some great music to look forward to.
For our show we have spring on our mind. Even though it’s not really spring, it’s close enough for me.
Last night at the Moonie Crossroads Motel, rain thundered down on the roof for hours. It’s been hot and humid for the last few days and it’s been throwing off my seasonal clock big time. There are so many flies out here, you’re constantly waving them away.
Someone in the front of the van just put Messin’ With The Kid by the Saints on the system, it’s great out here.
If I have any energy left by the time we get to the hotel tonight, I’ll listen to all the tracks of this show to go through them all with you. I think this is a good one, but you know me, Fanatic, I always think the show is good.
Keep the flies out of your mouth and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! G’day, mate. In Melbourne, Australia at the moment.
I spent quite awhile at the Strangeworld record store two days ago and have yet again, picked up some great music. I will get it into our shows as soon as I can. Richie Strangeworld is a great guide to check out new releases and reissues.
Last night, I was lucky enough to be able to see a show here in town. Straight Arrows / Ausmuteants. Both bands were great.
I hope you dig the show. We have a great one for next week all lined up!
Keep the music playing and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic. I hope this finds you well with your turntable activated as much as possible.
You might notice that we're leaning a bit heavily on artists from Australia in our first hour. I'll be living there for the next couple of weeks.
While the shows in Europe were great, our schedule didn't allow for time spent in record stores. That was frustrating but will hopefully make up for lost time in Australia.
Did you see the listing for the Peter Brötzmann / Haino shows Zebulon in LA in June? I got my tickets. I'm excited already.
I'm going to state for the record that I think we have a great show here. My schedule is pretty flat out until June, so I'm already working on our April broadcasts.
We are trying times. Hang in there and stay Fanatic

Fanatic! Presently in Ghent, Belgium. The backstage area is not all that warm, so I’ve got my coat on. It’s been like this every night of this part of the tour. It’s one of the things I’ve grown used to when doing shows in Europe this time of the year. The shows have been going great and I’m looking forward to getting out there tonight.
Tomorrow, we’ll be heading to England for four there and one in Scotland. When this show airs, I’ll be in Manchester, so in our first hour, we will be prioritizing Manchester bands as well as bands playing there.
I don’t know about you, Fanatic, but it’s taken me several days to get my head around the fact that Mark E Smith is gone. Last night I had a dream about him where he wasn’t gone and The Fall were still making records.
In our second hour, we will be premiering the new Lowtide album Southern Mind. It’s out on February 16th on Rice Is Nice Records. As you know, we work with Rice Is Nice and were given the green light to debut the album, which we’re very happy to be able to do. Click here if you want more information.
It’s a good show we’ve got here. We hope you dig it.

Fanatic! Jet lagging in Berlin. We have a great show for you. As you can see, there are a lot of Berlin references in our first hour. I started working on this show weeks ago, knowing where I was going to be.
Road Manager Ward and I hit the streets yesterday and went to a lot of record stores. I found nothing! It was still great to get outside and walk around. While we were out, we walked by the SO36, where I did a show in 1983. It was the first time I had been seen the venue since I was there. You will notice that we have a live Wire track from there.
There's something great about playing certain records in certain places. In my line of work, I get to a lot of cities. I took advantage of having a night off here to listen to Low by David Bowie and The Idiot by Iggy Pop. They both sounded great, of course.
The next few shows will be location oriented as I will be on the move for weeks to come. No rest until June!
We hope you dig our somewhat Berlin focused show.
Play a record for me and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic. As I’m sure you’re all too well aware, Mark E Smith of The Fall has passed away at 60 years of age.
We will have an all Fall show. I’m in Philadelphia at the moment, working on the show. I finished hour 1 yesterday and will get hour 2 done today.
If you get a chance, listen to some Fall music and consider how lucky you are to have an appreciation for such great music. What an incredible body of work.
Rock your Fall vinyl and stay Fanatic.

Fanatic! In Albany tonight. We are parked underneath The Egg next to a loading dock. I’ve done a lot of shows here.
Only a week of shows left on this tour. Ugh. It’s ending too soon!
It’s been a great run so far. The weather has given us some challenges but all in all, it’s been really good.
As always, we’ve done our best to put together a show that’s worth your time. You know me, Fanatic, I always like our show!
The Escape-ism album is one of the best of 2017 and so we’re starting the show with it. We should be seeing some great releases in 2018 and we’ll be getting into them as soon as I get them. I’ll be in Australia next month, so I’ll be dragging back all the good music I can find from that and getting onto the show.
I hope you like the show. We next week’s broadcast ready to go. Until we are canned, we will go on and on!
Keep going to the record store and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! In a not all that warm backstage area in Richmond, VA. It’s cold outside. 25F. Made the walk to the gym earlier memorable.
I’ve got the music for tonight’s show playing and it’s sounding good.
All is well out here, besides two shows lost to weather. Besides that, the shows are good and the audiences have been great.
Tour life in this weather is pretty confined. It looks like we’ve got intense weather for all the North American shows.
I got some letters about last week’s David Bowie dive. Glad you dug it. I thought it was an interesting way to go about such a unique opportunity to assess the man’s work.
I hope you dig the show and maybe I’ll be seeing you out on the road.
Stay warm and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! In a dressing room in very cold Raleigh, NC. It’s a great town. North Carolina is a beautiful state.
Okay, major concept show here. I have been waiting to roll this one out. I hope it doesn’t drive you too crazy. In my defense, all I can say is, Fanatic, it had to be done!
In our first hour, we will listen to David Bowie’s Lodger album, the original mix, the original RCA German CD. In the second hour, we will listen to the 2017 Tony Visconti mix. It’s different, that’s for sure.
So, it’s two hours of David Bowie, and a whole lot of the Lodger album.
I reckon you’ll think this show is really cool, or stretching an idea too far. We haven’t done a show like this for a long time. I think the last time was when we listened to Misfits 12 Hits From Hell tracks and compared them to their original mixes.
I thought we might run the two album song by song but it occurred to me that Lodger should be taken as a whole, and so, we went with the sequence you see below.
As always, we hope you like this. I know it’s a little it’s a little different than our riot-in-the-record store approach but hopefully it makes for a good show.
Last night’s show in South Carolina got canceled because of weather. What a drag. Everywhere is cold. The bus is cold, the venue is cold.
Stay warm and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I don’t know if we’ve done a show like this before. I had this idea and pursued it. Hours later, after a couple of drafts, I played it back and thought it was good enough to present to you.
You very well may have plans other than listening to a radio show on this date. However, if that’s where you’ll be, here is a possible soundtrack.
I think 2018 is going to be memorable, to say the least.
As a favor to me, please watch this short film by Yannis Meys. It’s a few minutes and very good.
Celebrate carefully and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Is there anyone out there? Anyone at all?! I think I know where everyone in LA was at least an hour ago. I was in Amoeba and it was packed. Have you ever had that experience where even the parking lot below the store is full and you’re in line on the street to get in? That was me. It was worth it. It’s always worth it.
I didn’t think it would be all that great an idea to dip too deeply into the Christmas thing but I thought you wouldn’t mind the odd holiday nod here or there. I just got back from working in Europe. Had a good time there. Making good use of the record player, that’s for sure. Listening to the first Obsessed LP, reissued on Relapse. Sounds great.
OCS album Memory Of A Cut Off Head is fantastic on vinyl. Run do not walk to this one.
I think you know your music and don’t need the likes of me telling you that we have a great show here.
Not sure if anyone will be listening to this show, holidays and all but for anyone who’s hangin’ around, hopefully this is a worthwhile gathering of tunes.
Be careful out there and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I’m sitting at a desk in a room in a hotel near the airport in Brussels, Belgium. It’s Friday night. I have an 0400 hrs. up to head to the airport. For the last while, I’ve been listening to the tracks for our show and I think we’ve got another great one.
Fanatic, have you heard the OCS album Memory Of A Cut Off Head? It just came out on Castle Face. All I have out here is WAV files. Hopefully, the vinyl is waiting for me on the other end of the two flights I’ve got tomorrow. It’s another great one from Mr. John Dwyer. Can’t wait to hear this one on vinyl. I’m sorry we don’t have any of this new album for our December shows but I had to make these in advance, due to schedule.
Track 14, hour 2, JJ Burnel - Euroman, really cool track. Ever since I heard it, I wondered if it was a one-off, from an album, but I kept forgetting to do some research. Days ago, in Luxembourg, I looked it up and it’s part of an album called Euroman Cometh. I checked it out online and the album is great from start to finish. It’s on United Artists, released in 1979. I found one online. Cool record! I wish I had heard it sooner. I ran into JJ at Heathrow airport I think it was, a couple of years ago. He and the Stranglers were on their way to the same festival I was. This album is worth checking out.
I just wrapped out of a film called Dreamland yesterday. One of the people I worked with was a very talented young filmmaker named Yannis Meys. I got a chance to see one of his short films. It’s really good. I asked Yannis if I could share the link and said yes. So, here it is:
https://youtu.be/DcOZA8Xs5nk.
It’s four minutes. I hope you get a chance to check it out. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next.
Fanatic, I hope you’re getting a chance to get some listening done. I can’t wait to get my turntable going.
Listen to records and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! It’s dark early here in Luxembourg City. I’ve been here for several days now. I’ve got a routine down. On shoot days, I get up around 0530 hrs. and start the day. I get done around 1900 hrs. I eat, listen to some music, run my lines for the next day and try to get to sleep. On my days off, I’ve been coming to this coffee place called Coffee Fellows. They serve a good cup of coffee but they close at either 1900 or 2000 hrs. depending on the day of the week. It makes for an early evening.
As per the usual, we have a great show lined up for you.
A track from the new album by Ian Svenonious, Introduction To Escape-ism right at the top. I love this record. I rocked it twice on LP before I left and it’s great. I think this might be the first time we’ve ever played Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five on the show. Scorpio!
I hope the Pere Ubu show last Wednesday was good. I wish I could have seen it.
My personal favorite tune of this show is hour 2 track 4, The Tough & Lovely - The Ooh La La. I have no memory how or when I got this record but I was checking it out weeks ago and thought the track fit perfectly.
I have been getting a lot of questions about leaving the LA Weekly. Last week, I got two emails almost at the same time from my two very talented and dedicated bosses at the Weekly, informing me they had been let go as the paper was under new ownership. I got an email from one of the new owners who asked me to stay on. I thought about it and realized leaving was the only thing to do, so I did. Damn, I miss my job. 359 columns. That’s life though. Suddenly, it changes and there you are. After so many years of filing my column, I find it hard to stop. The new one is here: http://bit.ly/column_01
It’s great being in Europe. I’ve never spent this much time in Luxembourg. It’s a bit calm but people are friendly, the food is good and we’re getting good work done on set.
Until next week, get your listening in and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Here we are in December. In Luxembourg, working on a film. A lot of early mornings. The weather is cold and raining with a bit of snow as well.
Please forgive me for the brevity of these notes. My routine for the last few days has been to sleep for a few jet lagged hours, leave the hotel in pre-dawn darkness on a cold coffee/protein bar breakfast and go to the work place. I return twelve or so hours later, in the dark, too tired to do anything. I expect I’ll be evening out in a few days.
Mr. Dwyer is at it again. A new release. I’ve not heard a second of it but put my order in nonetheless: https://www.castlefacerecords.com/products/ocs-memory-of-a-cut-off-head
It’s a good batch of tunes we have lined up here, we hope you dig it. I put the tracks together in a small hotel room in Taipei, Taiwan several days ago. I gave it time, came back to it in Los Angeles to see if it needed any changes made and it stood up. So, off to you it goes.
Remember, the great Pere Ubu will be appearing at the Echo on Wednesday, December 6. I would be there if I could.
Also This Dept.: The LA Weekly is under new ownership. My editor, along with a lot of other extraordinarily talented and dedicated people were fired. I was asked to stay, which I appreciate but chose not to. So, I left. It was a great time and it was an honor to be able to have 359 columns and two features published. Thank you for reading them.

Fanatic! I’m at the San Francisco International Airport. A four hour wait for my next flight. I have been instructed by my boss at the LA Weekly to please file the show notes early because of the holiday, so today, 11-18-17, 0925 hrs., I’m clacking away. By the time this show airs, I’ll be in Europe.
This will mark the end of our November shows. I started work on the December shows in Manila and Taipei. I played them over and over in the hotel rooms I was living in and I think they sound good.
We don’t usually start with an instrumental but New Career In A New Town kept talking to me and I knew it had to be the first track of the show. As much as I like David Bowie’s voice, New Career In A New Town is one of my favorite tracks of his. I think it puts our show on good footing.
How many times a year do we play Funtime from The Idiot?! You don’t mind, do you? It’s one of those tracks that works any time and I think it’s almost impossible to get tired of.
Fanatic, you gotta check out Ian Svenonious’s new album, yes, his FOURTH ONE THIS YEAR. It’s a new thing he’s doing called Escape-ism. The album is on Merge, it’s called Introduction To Escape-ism. It is so cool. I had a chance to rock the vinyl twice so far. We’ll be plugging in tracks soon. I wrote Ian two nights ago. He was in London, doing something. Introduction To Escape-ism, easily one of my favorite albums of the year, and it came in so late!
Remember Pere Ubu, Wednesday December 6 at the Echo. I told David I would be there but then I got some work and had to jump. I was really looking forward to the show. Pere Ubu is always worth checking out. I’ve seen them a lot of times and hate to miss them.
Thanks to Matt Sweeney, I got turned onto the band Songhoy Blues album, Resistance. I was listening to it a few days ago and hear this familiar voice. What is Iggy doing on this record?! I wrote his manager and asked. He said that Iggy has been playing them on his BBC Radio 6 show and they got together. Pretty cool track. I’ll put it into one of the shows for next year.
Next year? That’s right, Fanatic. All the December shows are with Engineer X and Engineer Am-Rock. I had to start working ahead, due to schedule. They’re good and I think you’re going to dig them. Until next week, Dank u wel.
Get some records and STAY FANATIC!!!
