Fanatic! I hope your week was buoyant and full of music. I’ve been getting in good vinyl sessions after work every single night. It’s been Joy Division bootlegs, the Bratmobile reissues, Station To Station, The Idiot, Machine Gun Etiquette, Music For Pleasure, the Cramps Live at Max's Kansas City bootleg and some of the more recent Wolf Eyes albums, to name but a few. The listening has been premium. Or as the Necros used to say, “choice!”
The new Des Demonas LP Apocalyptic Boom Boom! is coming out at the end of the month on In The Red and it’s really good. We’ll start tracks from it later this month.

Every once in a while, an old person can do what a young person does and not look ridiculous. Listening to music is one of those things. I think music is one of the better deals we humans ever got. In fact, maybe it’s the best. Maybe we should invest as much of our time in health, music, art, and culture as we can and leave the mediocre content to the squares. Just an idea.
Fanatic, we hope you will find tonight’s selection of tunes to be an excellent soundtrack no matter when or how or from where you’re listening. We cannot thank you enough for taking the time to tune in. I’m about 100% sure you have quite a few options so it means a lot that you’re checking out the show.
Just yesterday, Engineer X and I put the finishing touches on next week’s show and it’s a great one. We hope you’ll dig what we’ve got lined up for you tonight. Until next week, remain healthy, defiant, curious and of course STAY FANATIC!!!
