Here are some potential listens to check out. I think you may remember our good pal and sonic ally, Hannah Lew, she of Cold Beat. https://coldbeatsf.bandcamp.com/music She’s got…

Fanatic! Here we are, perfectly placed for the last day of summer as far as my Fanatic calendar is concerned. Tomorrow, again not according to conventional calendars, is the beginning of autumn. Tonight we say farewell to Mr. Bogert and the gang. We have been working away on the September shows and so far they’re sounding great. The one for next we…

Fanatic! We have a great warm-to-hot weather show for you tonight. We just finished next week’s show and I think we made a good mix to say goodbye to summer. Remember, this is our second-to-last visit with Mr. Bogert and the frogs for the year. My new book, Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 4 is out and Get In The Van is back in print. Hooray! https://www.twoth…

Fanatic! Tonight is our yearly Case Of The Punks show. We try to put one of these together for you every August and tonight is the night! The new Osees album Sorcs 80 sounds great on vinyl. I got my first chance to hear it last night. Looking forward to not only playing it again but also listening to the live album that came with it. It’s amazing h…

Fanatic! I hope you had a tremendous and music filled week. I made my way through the three Kosmetika records, Pop Soap, Illustration and Luxury. I thought they were really good. I went for a return listen to Hence by Oren Ambarchi. I’m glad he’s so prolific because he’s always worth checking out. The new Osees album, Sorcs 80 is out. We start in o…

Fanatic! I can never be sure where these notes find you. Where I am is consistently hot day after day, although a few hours ago, I noticed some of the trees outside were starting to shed their leaves, in perhaps the slightest of insinuations of the season coming to an end. August is a peak month for listening to music! At least in the part of the w…

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and made time to listen to a lot of music. I have some information to share that you hopefully find interesting! Fanatic! I’m happy to announce Stay Fanatic!!!

Fanatic. I hope you had a good week and you’re maintaining your hydration levels. If you take the briefest of glances at tonight’s playlist you might possibly notice there’s a bit of a concept happening. We will be listening to a few songs by the Ruts. As we do every year to the best of our ability, we acknowledge the sad passing of the great band’…

Fanatic! I hope you had a safe holiday. People in my neighborhood take fireworks very seriously and it was quite loud around here. Not wanting to get in the way of your potentially festive mood I will keep these notes brief. We have a great show lined up for you with new tracks and some you may find familiar. A good mix tape was what we were after.…
