Sonic Overload 3/28/11

I’m finally getting around to digging into the box of new and recent (and not-so-recent) 7”s and it looks as though it yielded at least a few neglected gems. Plus there’s the usual assortment of other old and new stuff. I had a great time seeing Tear It Up in Brooklyn this past weekend and would like to thank Audrey and Howard for giving me a last-minute place to stay. It’s unlikely there will be another reunion anytime soon, if ever, but I hope Tear It Up will at least consider the possibility of another show or two—maybe in Boston next time...
