Fanatic! As promised, here are the updated notes from our show, live guested by Shepard Fairey. Hopefully, you dug the show and the station won’t get sued. It’s always good to see Shepard and he seemed to have a good time.
Save the date:
Next week’s show is all done and it’s a great one. We will be back live on the 17th and we have some great tracks in place for that one.
It’s Monday, September 4. I have done almost all the work I had on my to-do list. I guess I can now just . . . . work on another radio show. It never ends!
This is an interview I just did with John Dwyer of Oh Sees.
Have a great week and STAY FANATIC!!!

Part wax, part digital, pure heat. Tyler “Boogie” Boudreaux channels KCRW’s eclectic sound through a kaleidoscope of psych, garage rock, soul, funk, and indie sounds. Vintage records collide with new releases, while house, indie dance, post-punk, trip-hop, darkwave, and unexpected detours keep the boundaries loose. The common thread is energy, groove, and discovery, with one hand in the crates and the other firmly planted in what’s happening now. Tune in to Tyler’s show Thursday nights from 8 to 10pm.
