Sonic Overload 1/19/15

"I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin—we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered."--Martin Luther King Jr., "Beyond Vietnam", April 4, 1967, one year to the day before his assassination.

I don’t think I can add much to what Martin Luther King said in 1967 except to point out that his words are just as relevant now as it was then. What I mean is we still have hell of a long way to go to achieve racial and economic equality in this country. And I don’t see that happening anytime soon, given the current political climate. Just some food for thought on the holiday that honors this great leader...

Sonic Overload 1/12/15

I can’t even begin to contemplate the horror of the terrorist attacks at the offices of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo last week, where 12 people were massacred. I don’t even want to try to but I decided that, even if it’s just a small, symbolic gesture, I’d play some French punk on the show.

I start this week’s show with a song by Ensign, whose bass player Nate Gluck is currently battling stomach and esophagal cancer. A fund has been set up to assist him with his medical and living expenses. The response has been overwhelming, having raised over $92,000 as of today (January 12).

Sonic Overload 1/5/15

The first show of the new year—it feels strange to be writing out 2015. Hell, way back at the turn of the century (15 years now?), it was strange dating checks with a date starting with “20”... and that’s the year Sonic Overload started, in 2000. I’m still here and somehow still manage to crank out two radio shows a week. It keeps me out of trouble, I suppose.

Happy New Year!

Sonic Overload 12/29/14--The Best of 2014

When I say it’s end of a fucked-up year, to quote Embrace on one of the last songs played on this week’s show, I really mean it, this time. Still, no time to wallow. It was fun putting this show together. I look at it as the Sonic Overload All-Star game, in a way.

As I scan through the list, it’s a shame that some of the bands represented have broken up—Savageheads, Stoic Violence and Gas Rag, in particular, while Baja Blatz was described to me as a band with an “expiration date” and they were only together a short time this year.

On to 2015... another musical adventure awaits and hopefully the non-musical part of it won’t be so bumpy. Happy New Year!
