Fanatic! As you might have found out, last month, we lost a giant in the world of music. Ben E King, the great vocalist, passed away late last month. He leaves behind an amazing body of work that will be around for as long as there are ears. Tonight, we will give some attention to just a small portion of his huge catalog of songs.
We are still working away at the new Fall album.
Before I forget, on the 24th, we will be premiering the new Bong album We Are, We Were and We Will Have Been in the second hour. We worked it out with Ritual Productions and Mike Vest of Bong and it’s all happening. Get ready for two 16+ minute sides of Bong.
I just got my LP version of HTRK’s Marry Me Tonight album. Sounds AMAZING on vinyl. If you have been digging the HTRK tracks we have been playing on the show, this is a great first album of theirs by which to get into their music. Rowland S Howard co-produced and plays on more than half of the songs. Great stuff.
It is another show full of great tunes, assembled with the greatest of care. We hope you enjoy.
Note to Rick Astley: Rick Astley until the wheels fall off, I say. Rick, it was the 80’s and we were all a little crazy. You saw an opening and you went for it. I just want you to know that I totally get that and still wear the t-shirt and the Never Gonna Give You Up leggings in cold weather.
Stay loose and STAY FANATIC!!!
