Sonic Overload 3/16/09

Once again, really late with posting this... the 9th anniversary show for Sonic Overload! I began this endeavor with the name Inflammable Material on Allston-Brighton Free Radio on March 13, 2000. The name was changed to Sonic Overload a few months later for a very simple reason--fumble-mouthed me had a tough time pronouncing the word "Inflammable." I still struggle with some words but I imagine you tune in to hear the music and can overlook my occasional speech struggles. This show is an exercise in self-indulgence (well, they ALL are) where I mainly stick to the oldies and play some of my all-time favorites. Enjoy...
