RADIO BROADCAST #374
05–29–16

Fanatic! In a hotel room in some strange industrial, human-storage neighborhood in Munich. All the apartment buildings are generic and the rest are just anonymous skyscrapers. I am here for the Rockavaria Festival. Right after I get offstage, Iggy will be playing, so my week just got better.

I have just listened down to all of the tracks we have on this show, and I think we have put together yet another good one. I thought we would go hard and somewhat genre-specific at the top and shake loose as we got to the end of the first hour, while getting slightly more out there in our second hour. Give it all a listen and see if it works for you.

So happy to finally be able to start playing you new Lorelle Meets the Obsolete tracks. We have been given the all-clear for two tracks so far. We rock one this week and the other next week. Their new album, Balance, is really great. We will get the rest to you as soon as we get the go from the label.

I was just sent the new Lower Plenty album and am on my second listen. It’s cool. We will get tracks from it out to you as soon as Joe at Bedroom Suck says it’s cool.

New Dinosaur Jr. album is ready for pre-order at dinosaurjr.com.

I am still walking off the effects of seat 55C! Great to be back in Germany.

Please enjoy the show, thanks for listening and STAY FANATIC!!!
