RADIO BROADCAST #409
01-29–17

Fanatic! We have one great show for you. Straight out of the gate, there is a new track by Damaged Bug, aka John Dwyer of Thee Oh Sees. We got the green light from the label to play you this one track from the new album, Bunker Funk. I am not sure when the album comes out but it’s great all the way through and, of course, when we get the go-ahead, we will play you all the other tracks on the album.

New Wolf Eyes, as well, sounds great. I got an email from my old pal Barry Adamson of Magazine, the Bad Seeds, etc. He sent me this track, “Sweet Misery,” which I thought was really cool, so we put that in the mix. I don’t know if you have had the chance to check out the new, well, kinda new Ex-Cult album Negative Growth. It’s really great. I am not sure if we have played any tracks from it before. Well, we definitely are tonight. New Ty Segall as well. His new album is on Drag City. Yet another track from Charles Moothart’s (CFM) new 7” on In the Red as well. It’s a great record. I think Mr. Larry Hardy over at ITR said there will be a new CFM album out this year. Of course, we will be getting into that one as soon as we get the all-clear.

I have been back for about a week. It’s not easy coming down from the speed of a tour. I have been listening to a lot of music every day — that’s helping. Here’s what I listened to yesterday, Jan. 24. Yes, I keep a list.

The Stooges – Rough Power LP
Joy Division – Morituri Tu Salutant – Victory (clear vinyl) LP
