Fanatic! I hope you had a hydrated and music-filled week.
Over the last few days, I checked out:
The Black Bats - Black Bats
Still Animals - Still Animals
Bikini Kill - Yeah Yeah Yeah
Facs - Present Tense
Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette
UK Subs - Diminished Responsibility
Mark Robinson - Tiger Banana
Dio - Holy Diver
Dio - Last In Line
Also, a lot of mix folders on the treadmill. One of the things I do is take all the tracks to our show, load them into the phone and take that to the gym. It’s a good way to make the final draft. It’s a lot of time to spend on a show but I think it’s worth it. Also, the show tracks makes for a good mix, which to me is what a radio show is all about. It’s been a long time since I made a mix tape with vinyl and cassettes. I still have all my old mix tapes. Many years ago, I was visiting DC and was with Ian MacKaye and we were driving around in his car. He’s playing a cassette and for some reason I knew what the next track was going to be. It was all really old music. I asked why I knew the tape. He pulled it out and showed it to me. It was one I’d made in high school! He still had it and It still sounded good. I still think it’s kind of cheating making digital mix folders as it’s so convenient, I feel I’m somehow taking some imagined easy way out. Construction of a mix tape was often a multi hour endeavor. In a way, they’re like a journal. I think it’s a good idea to make a mix folder at least once a season, tag it and leave it on your hard drive. You can always come back to it and see where you were at back then.
My newest book Sic is back in stock, now in its 4th printing.
Fanatic, tonight’s show is hopefully a good warm-to-hot weather mix that will check at least some of the boxes. I was working ahead and actually completed next week’s show yesterday, our last one for July.
Have a great night of listening, keep the jams happening in these most interesting times and STAY FANATIC!!!
