RADIO BROADCAST #416
03-19–17

Fanatic! Obviously I have no idea from where you’re reading this but here in Los Angeles it looks like the heat is back, and while the East Coast is digging itself out of several feet of snow, it’s turning back into the desert with traffic here.

The new Damaged Bug album is out. I ordered up and can’t wait to hear this one on vinyl. Here is where you can go for more information.

A few different color variations, most of them selling out almost immediately. Those who are so inclined, who were nine seconds late for class, can look forward to seeing these records at inflated prices at auction and purchase sites online starting almost immediately.

The Crystal Fairy album came out and its run of fluoro pink vinyl sold through. There is a small run of lavender colored vinyl out of the U.K. and another small run of a different color planned soon. I got a chance to hear the LP a few days ago and it’s a great one. We start our wonderful show with a track from it, as we did last week.

For those with access to Netfilx, I would recommend the Danny Says documentary. The Danny mentioned is one Danny Fields. It’s hard to believe one guy was at the start of so much cool stuff in music but that was Danny’s life. It’s an amazing story.

For this show, we get to the other side of the Damaged Bug/Black Pus single that was just released by our sonic allies at Famous Class. Great record, great label.

After a couple of drafts, I have listened to our gathering of tracks here and think it’s going to work rather well; that is to say, I’m on board.

I hope you find all these great tracks to be to your liking.

Heed the call of the record store and STAY FANATIC!!!
