RADIO BROADCAST #376

06-15–16

Fanatic! Coming to you from a hotel somewhere near Heathrow Airport. Brentford! I have a great view of some highway. I am here until Friday morning, when we head over to the Download Festival. Saturday we will head to the Isle of Wight Festival for a show on Sunday. Saturday is a clear day off for us. As chance would have it, some guy named Iggy Pop is playing that night. Hello! Third time seeing him this year. I AM SO INTO THIS.

The new releases on Castle Face are worth checking out, including the new Male Gaze album King Leer and a live Oh Sees album that sounds great. 

Also the full GØGGS album is ready for pre-order over at In the Red. It’s a great, noisy piece of work, and as you can imagine, we will be playing it quite a bit as we break into July and August. 

Rocked the new VUM vinyl the other night. Cryptocrystalline. So great. 

The new Dinosaur Jr. album, Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not, is ready for pre-order.

As I write this, Fanatic, I am listening to WAV files of the Boris/Merzbow collab four-LP thang called Gensho through the Soundmatters Dash7 small speaker system. I can’t speak highly enough about this super portable component, and no, they do not sponsor me. I spend so much of the year in small rooms and this has proven to be excellent road gear.

If you take even a nanosecond glimpse of our gathering of tunes below, I think you very well might concur that Engineer X, Engineer Am-Roc and I have put together a great two-hour block that we hope you will enjoy.

Also, I am subbing for Jarvis Cocker for all of the Sundays this month on BBC Radio 6. I think you can listen for free. I am making show notes for those shows as well. Here is last week’s. 

I hope you are listening to music as often as you possibly can. I have been really busy and bouncing around a lot, so I am a little behind. I am going to try to catch up tonight and tomorrow.

Go tube analog and STAY FANATIC!!!
