Sonic Overload 9/13/10

The anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is always a solemn occasion. I don’t need to tell you that. On this show, as I’ve done every year around the anniversary of the attacks, there’s commentary and various songs and audio clips to make my point. And I’d be lying if I said I don’t get a charge out of hearing, for example, World Burns To Death ranting against so-called punks who start lining up in support of the uber-patriotism that followed those attacks. Supporting what punks in the 80s protested against. I was disgusted in ’01 and don’t like it any better now.

In addition, tribute is paid to Raybeez from War Zone, who died on 9/11/97 and there’s the annual (middle finger) salute to Hank Williams, Jr. and his insufferable musical “contribution” to Monday Night Football. I just put on the TV for the game and I’ve got the remote at the ready to hit the mute button once I see his ugly face. His politics are quite ugly, as well, but we’ll leave that alone for now.

It’s a longer show this week—nearly 2 ¼ hours. Lots of ground to cover...

As always, the 9/11 show is dedicated to the memory of my dear friend Jane Simpkin...

Sonic Overload 8/6/10

As is the custom for this week's Labor Day show, we pay tribute to the working men and women and will hopefully convey the frustrations of working life in this day and age and that’s if you can get a job, to begin with. But I won’t dwell on the negative. In addition, it’s time for the annual tributes to the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy telethon (sorta) and the returning students. Next week’s show will mark the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the US. I’ll be doing it a few days late and will treat as more of a tribute to those who lost their lives (including a close friend), as well as offering a critique of what’s happened in the interim. It won’t take up the entire show but an acknowledgment is certainly necessary...

Sonic Overload 8/30/10

This show was originally recorded a day late, due to being completely burnt after the Gallery East reunion show on Sunday, featuring DYS, FU’s, Jerry’s Kids, Gang Green, Antidote and Slapshot (and a few I missed although I did see Springa’s unfortunate performance of “Boiling Point” with Refuse Resist). Some bands were better than others, there was instrumental sloppiness and silliness here and there but it was still a good time—so fuck the haters. Also, fuck the haters and morons who attended the Glenn Beck rally in DC on the 28th, which was the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. Listen to my rant at the start of the third segment.

The show was also late due to my computer being on the fritz for a day due to a terrible virus and I can’t thank my friend Murray enough for fixing it for me.
