Fanatic! I understand that the Thanksgiving holiday can sometimes be intense for some people who have to gather with members of their family who they might have strong disagreements with, spend hours with them, ending with a grand meal set at a table before all parties are allowed to stagger away fuming and go back to their respective dwellings. The angry parties, all swearing vengeance, promise to do it all over again around this time next year. Sounds crazy to me but humans are highly complex creatures.
Tonight’s show is ever so slightly conceptual. If you notice, Generation X tracks start both hours. We are doing this because it is Billy Idol's birthday. Happy birthday, Billy!
I did some great listening over the last few days, here are a few of the records I checked out.
Sun Ra – Ra To The Rescue
Eric Dolphy – Out There
Eric Dolphy – Outward Bound
Corker – Hallways Of Grey
Boris / Coaltar Of The Deepers 12”
Doe St – Doe St
J Mascis - What Do We Do Now
Joy Division – Pictures In My Mind
Des Demonas – Apocalyptic Boom! Boom!
The Damned – Machine Gun Etiquette
The Damned – Music For Pleasure
Iggy Pop – The Idiot
The new Des Demonas album Apocalyptic Boom! Boom! came out yesterday. It’s really good.

I really like the lyrics of Old Town
All of these bands are on the Damnably label out of the UK. Worth checking out.
We’ll be getting tracks from these bands into upcoming shows.
Fanatic, tonight’s show I do believe is a happening mix of new and old that you’ll hopefully find enjoyable. Taleen Kali’s cover of Cupid Come by My Bloody Valentine is really good. We’re playing a track from the new Des Demonas album, a cool live version of the great Roland S Howard channeling Billy Idol’s classic track White Wedding and we finish the show with David Bowie doing Wild Is The Wind from Station To Station which I think is one of his greatest vocal performances. And somehow the Misfits and the Gun Club also found their way into the show as well. You can chalk that up to good planning.
We wish Billy Idol the happiest of birthdays and hope you have a great time digging tonight’s show. Until next week, keep finding humor in situations you previously couldn’t imagine it existed and STAY FANATIC!!!
