Sonic Overload 8/17/09

A tribute to the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, marking the anniversary of Elvis Presley's death and all of it recorded during an extended period of hot/humid weather that spurred me to record the show wearing a minimum amount of clothing!

Sonic Overload 8/10/09

Another 40 year anniversary, this one not being anything to glorify, unless you're a sick fuck who idolizes Charles Manson. I suppose the start of the show could be viewed as a "tribute" of sorts but it's just meant to mark or acknowledge what happened. The other "topical" song is by Enola Gay, marking the 64th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki--an event that killed or caused illness to hundreds of thousands of Japanese people, unnecessarily so, and leading to the onset of the nuclear age, Cold War, etc... But most of the show is just loud, blazing punk and hardcore...

Sonic Overload 8/3/09

I uploaded the show and then forgot to make the blog. It's the summer heat I tell 'ya! Religion and politics--perhaps not to be discussed in polite company but definitely a part of this program. That starts with a bit of audio from The 700 Club and the "miraculous" story presented features an old friend of mine. I've scrambled his name because, well, I've gotten myself in enough trouble over the years. So just in case he hears this... And the clip that starts the third segment is equally, uh, "interesting."

Sonic Overload 7/27/09

The big news story this week was the aftermath of the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and the shitstorm created by President Obama when he said the Cambridge police handled the situation "stupidly," which they did, of course. That didn't stop the media from taking the words out of context and it once again exposed the racial divide in this country--nothing new.
