Fanatic! I hope this brief letter finds you at your very best. It is yet another two hours of excellent music. Not so much about the skill and care of those who gather the tunes for you as much as a testament to just how much available good music exists. That is to say, we have a lot of listening to do, Fanatic!

Tonight’s show features the great Donny Benet, which I know I have been wearing you out about. I think there is a great amount of perfectly delivered humor in the man’s approach. If you get a chance, please check out the video for the song we will play. It’s here:

Thanks to Denise for sending the J Mascis single. It fits perfectly into the show.

Next week we will start listening to The Lower Plenty. Great band out of Australia. Looking forward to getting this band’s music to you. Also, Engineer X came by the other day with a ton of new music and so we will capitalize on his great wealth of knowledge and throw some of that into the mix as well. Check the below listings for shows! Outstanding!

Thursday and Friday will be happening for music all over Los Angeles of course but here are some notices I thought you should be aware of
