Sonic Overload 12/12/11

The last regular show of the year and it’s a hectic one. I played mostly vinyl, including a fair amount of new stuff and short songs means I’m working like a madman to get everything queued up correctly. That’s right—physical media although, as I’ve noted in the past, I do utilize some MP3s here and there and I used a few this week, including a very special track at the beginning of Track 2. I think I’ll just let you be surprised.  

Next week—the holiday show where you won’t be hearing any of those crap-ass songs that are inescapable when I venture into the “outside” world. Hell, I don’t even like a lot of the holiday punk perennials. In the meantime, watch out for the crazy people on the roads and in the malls and shopping centers, although I hope you’re smart enough to steer clear of the latter two.

Sonic Overload 12/5/11

Back to the regular programming for this week and next and then it’s on to the holiday spectacular (?) and the best of 2011 to wrap up the year. I’ve been keeping away from the political coverage a bit lately, half paying attention to the Republican shenanigans, whether it’s on the campaign trail, in congress or in the media. But you can only take so much—so I’ve been watching movies. I finally saw “The Right Stuff” last week. Yeah, it’s probably a bit corny ‘n all but it actually has wit and some excellent performances. Beats watching Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann et al. I think it’s time to watch “Reservoir Dogs” some night this week. But don’t worry—if I do watch it, I promise not to play “Stuck In The Middle” by Stealers Wheel. Those of you who have seen the movie know the significance of that song!

Sonic Overload 11-28-11--the all-covers show!

Hope y’all didn’t eat too much for Thanksgiving. I can’t say that was the case here and I think I’ll be hitting the gym hard in the coming week. I actually snuck in a walk today, before recording the show. Anyway, this week is the annual all-covers show. Some favorites that I’ve played in the past but I’ve got quite a few songs that haven’t been on here before. It’s hard to believe there are only going to be two more “regular” shows this year, before the holiday show on the 19th and the “best of” show on the 26th. Where has this year gone?

Sonic Overload 11/21/11

It’s Thanksgiving week and, as customary, the day is marked with acknowledgment of what happened to the native population of this land when it was invaded both in 1620, with the pilgrims and, of course, in 1492. The clip that accompanies the Ill Repute song at the top of the show, featuring Mumia Abu-Jamal, states things more eloquently than I could—although I WILL be watching football on Thursday.

Next week, it’s the annual all-covers show—one of my favorite shows to put together and I have a number of new selections this year...
