RADIO BROADCAST #431
07-02-17

Fanatic! Have you been clocking the heat?! Good grief, it makes music sound so good. I just got back from Amoeba with some records, so I am ready for the weekend. Have you ever at the last minute, when you're at the counter at Trader Joe's, thrown a Toblerone into your basket? I did that today at Amoeba. I found a used copy of Like a Virgin on CD for six bucks. I haven't heard this record for like 30 years. Listening now. The drums are like getting pulled over by 10 cop cars!

So glad we are able to roll out a track from the new Mikey Young album. I think it's his best work yet.

July is going to be great for music. Next week, new VUM in hour 2; the week after, we unleash new Alan Vega from his last album, IT. I have been sitting on these tracks for damn near two years. Can't wait for you to hear this album.

You know what I always say in these notes — that we have another great show. Well, it's true! I always listen to all the tracks in one go to make sure there's nothing dragging, and this one passed the test. It's perfect weather for the Russell Street Bombings album. We haven't listened to that one for a while.

I started work on next week's show yesterday. I will resume later today and see where the heat takes me. We hope you dig the show and that you listen to it at least twice.

Stay hydrated and STAY FANATIC!!!
