Sonic Overload 2/18/13

Finally, some new records to play on the show this week, although there’s still plenty of “vintage” material here. Last week was my birthday. Most of you know how old I am or have an idea of it, at least, and that’s 39. OK, plus a few... When I was listening to the No Trend song “For The Fun Of It All” while recording the show, one lyric stood out—“What do you do? When you’re growing old, but you want to stay young. What do you do? Good question and, yeah, I ponder it every time a birthday comes around and I’m trying to find a way to stay young without it being too embarrassing or pathetic. I also wonder if Robert Smith regrets having written “I Want To Be Old” when he was a teenager? While we ponder these BIG QUESTIONS, let me wish you a Happy Presidents’ Day and, as always, play loud.
