Sonic Overload 1/13/14

It was a relatively nice day so I decided to sneak in a walk before recording the show. On the way home, I picked up an iced coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts (as I often do) and boy did the caffeine sink in quickly. We’re talking jag city! I had already planned out a mainly uptempo show today and I was pretty much bouncing off the walls when recording, until the inevitable crash sometime in the third segment. During the caffeine rush, I only managed to drop one record and it survived, thankfully. Not like the time my I was guest DJ-ing with my friend Andy at WBRS, the Brandeis station. He was running the turntables and managed to drop and break my copy of Blitz’s “Never Surrender.” I can’t remember if any caffeine was involved or it was just clumsiness. Anyway, he was able to replace the record without too much difficulty. Getting back to that rocket fuel I drank while recording the show, though, maybe I should get a sponsorship from Dunks so I don’t have to shell out $2 a pop several times a week.

In the meantime, this week’s show should provide you with the jolt you need... and no crash afterwards!

Happy New Year and I hope not too many of you folks are freezing your asses off. I just got a text from Carrie, one of the awesome administrators for the Sonic Overload Facebook page (check it out if you’d like) told me there’s a wind chill of -40° where she lives in Ohio and I was getting cold just watching the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers play in sub-zero temperatures last night. We did get 15 inches of snow last week and it was in the single digits for a few days and hit 50° today. That wacky New England weather! Anyway, enough yakkin’. Start listening...

Sonic Overload 12/30/13--THE BEST OF 2013

Another year down the drain, uh, in the books. It’s time for the Best of 2013 show. While going through the records and CDs (and some MP3s) in preparing the show, I was thinking that 2013 wasn’t quite as strong as the last couple of years and still feel that way but there were still some excellent albums and I think I’ve put together a good sampling of stuff from the past 12 months.

This year’s show is dedicated to those killed and injured in the Boston Marathon bombings this past April. I started recording the show a short time after it happened on that Monday, still in something of a daze but it was a coping mechanism, I suppose, a bit of a respite.

I’d also like to thank all of you who bother to check this show out week after week. It’s nice to know I’m not just playing records for myself. And a special thanks to Stig Stench and the rest of the people at Stench Radio for providing me with two more hours a week to force my musical taste on everyone.

Happy New Year!
