Sonic Overload 5/23/16

There’s nothing hip or trendy about the music I play here—or if it is, it’s completely coincidental. I play what I like, without regard to genre, to trendsetter cache, etc. Take or leave it, that’s the way I do the show.

Two more musicians have left us in the past week, both in their 50s and I’m hoping this will the last tributes I have to do for awhile. R.I.P. John Berry (original Beastie Boys guitarist) and Nick Menza (onetime Megadeth drummer)...
