Sonic Overload 3/2/15

The attack of the cracking voice—not the most enjoyable way to do the show but hopefully the musical contents make up for it. Thanks to Jason Kooken for organizing the Massachusetts premiere of the DC punk documentary “Salad Days,” which screened at the Stage II Cinema in Amesbury. I enjoyed the film and the theater was really cool—cafe setting with old airplane seats. And no turbulence, except for the shitty ride home in yet another storm. I’d also like to thank Jason including me on the panel for a Q&A session, even though I don’t like to do public speaking all that much. Odd, considering I do this show and sing in a band. Anyway, I’m glad we made the trip...

Doing a Monday radio show the day after a Sunday night show—especially one as loud as the Retox/Whores/Fucking Invincible one I just saw, can be something of a task, especially when you feel like you’ve been cracked over the skull with a baseball bat. I don’t know how people can watch those types of bands without earplugs. Anyway, here’s some musical hair of the dog and I ain’t talking about Nazareth (great song, though)
