Sonic Overload 6/16/09

I recorded this show a day late and I'm posting it nearly a week late. Sorry 'bout that. I had to attend the funeral of my Uncle George Quint on the 15th and I lovingly dedicate this show to his memory. This show is also in memory of Moving Targets drummer Pat Brady, who passed away earlier this month. Not such a great few weeks...

Sonic Overload 6/1/09

The fifth anniversary of Ronald Reagan's death, so it's noted in Sonic Overload's inimitable, tasteful style! And it ain't just Reagan on the proverbial plate this week--you've got sound concerning Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and the murder of Dr. George Tiller, who performed abortions (I hate the term "abortion doctor"). Sorry this is late... but I've also uploaded the 6/8 show (as you see above) so you've got four hours of punk rock this week

From 2004--the Ronald Reagan "tribute"

On June 5, 2004, former president Ronald Reagan died. Naturally, this passing had to be noted on Sonic Overload so almost all of the June 7 show was a "tribute" of sorts, where I played pretty much every song about Reagan and related topics that I could dig up. I did end up missing a few and those were played the following week.

This is by far the most popular show I ever did in 9 years of broadcasting/webcasting. It was recorded at Allston-Brighton Free Radio, where the show originated for nearly 5 years although it's also been available as a webcast since mid-'03. One thing I notice, when playing some of it back, is how goddamned fast I talked on the air back then. Not that I sound any better now but at least the tempo is slower. Must be my increasing age!

There are two files to download and it's been encoded at 192 kbps so it'll sound quite a bit better than the regular webcast. I did a show marking the 5th anniversary of his death this week and there's some overlap but also some songs that have come out since his death.

Enjoy!
