Fanatic! I’d like to lodge a complaint. It’s now well into September but the weather in my area is still peaking into the 90s every day. I want to somehow “reclaim my time” as they say. At least the early sunsets and the falling leaves somewhat indicate seasonal change. It’s frustrating but the weather is a little bigger than my Fanatic expectation…

Fanatic! I hope you had an amazing week. I don’t know what the weather’s like where you are but I’ve got falling leaves and high temperatures. It’s kind of like autumn and kind of not. Mentally, I’m done with summer and am ready for the next season. If you’re a fan of Les Rallizes Dénudés, there’s a new release on Temporal Drift called YaneUra Oct.…

Fanatic! Even though the temperature might be warm where you are, September is upon us nonetheless. I hope you had a great week and have a lot of music lined up for autumn. 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!!!
