Sonic Overload 4/23/12

After seven years, I’ve replaced my old Ion DJ unit with a brand new Numark dual CD mixer. And it went very smoothly—in fact, things are quite a bit more streamlined with this unit. One of the coolest things is it has an iPod dock so it’s easier to play MP3s. Don’t take that to mean I’m going to greatly increase the number of MP3s played because I still prefer vinyl and CDs—whatever format I have the music in. I did have to lay out a fair amount of money for it and I’m also going to need a new microphone at some point. So I’m again making an infrequent request for donations to help defray the cost. Some people have already made generous donations. If you’d like to do the same, you can PayPal it to suburbanvoice@earthlink.net. As an incentive, for a donation of $10 or more I’ll send you a 2 CD-R set of my 10th anniversary show from 2010—one of the best I did, in my humble opinion. 

This week’s show goes out in memory of the legendary Dick Clark, who passed away last week—and I offer a couple of very special tributes...

One more note of interest. I now have a new email address (hopefully easier to remember): al@sonicoverload.net
