Sonic Overload 8/26/13

I mentioned this on the show but I had to clear out the storage closet in my bathroom/laundry room because there was a problem with the washing machine and some water got in there. While pulling out the boxes, I took a look inside a heavy one that had the first three years of webcasts, beginning on August 25, 2003. Exactly ten years to the day! As some of you know, I did the show live on Allston-Brighton Free Radio until early 2005 but started uploading the show to subdomains generously provided, at first, by Adam Gandelman and then by Jim Burnham, until launching this site a few years ago. I listened for a bit and also looked at the playlist and some of those bands/songs are on the show today—Colera, Boskops, Strikers and Uncurbed, off the top of my head. Another thing I noticed is how much faster I used to talk back then and how my voice didn’t sound quite as raspy.

Anyway, this week includes a few songs for the returning college students. Next week, it’ll be the Labor Day show and I’ll be featuring an assortment of songs honoring working men and women...
