Fanatic! A lot of new music tonight. I’ve been trying to put a dent in all the new records that have come in since I was on tour. It’s a great problem to have. I was just gifted the 4LP 50th anniversary edition of the Vagabonds Of The Western World album by Thin Lizzy. Eric Bell era Lizzy, looking forward to checking this out.

The coolest record I listened to over the last couple of days is by this band Checkpoint.
Checkpoint - Drift LP
You can go on Bandcamp and check out tracks if you’re interested. There’s a cool write up on the band.
The new 7” by Alicja-Pop is really cool.
Larry Hardy, he of In The Red Records and I are currently co-conspiring on yet another cool Punk Rock release slated for next year. We just got the cover art confirmed and over the weekend, I’ll be nailing down some other details. Once we have a release date, I’ll tell you all about it. I can tell you now it’s going to be great and we’re both very stoked to be doing this.
So, tonight, we’ve got a lot of new music or at least music that’s new to us. It’s a great time for music right now but if you’ve noticed, I’ve been saying that for the last several years. It’s true! Independent music is really good right now. So many cool records, so many shows to go to.
All the bands on our show tonight most likely have Bandcamp addresses so you can investigate further. I hope you do.
Listen to as much music as possible and STAY FANATIC!!!

Live on KCRW
Live on KCRW is KCRW’s performance series featuring artists recorded live at our Santa Monica studios. From emerging acts to established voices, the series offers artists a space to present their music in an intimate setting that puts the focus on performance, sound, and personality.
Morning Becomes Eclectic
KCRW’s signature music program and the heart of its eclectic sound, Morning Becomes Eclectic brings together new discoveries, timeless recordings, live performances, and conversations with artists shaping music today. Hosted by Novena Carmel, the show moves freely across genres, eras, and borders with curiosity as its compass, creating unexpected connections between the familiar and the unknown. For nearly five decades, MBE has made discovery part of the daily ritual while keeping its ears firmly tuned to what comes next. Tune in on weekdays from 9am to noon.
Peanut Butter Wolf
Peanut Butter Wolf goes deep into a lifetime of collecting, pulling from more than 50,000 records alongside a digital archive packed with unreleased music and overlooked discoveries. The founder of Stones Throw Records favors the underdog, moving through hip-hop, funk, soul, electronic music, oddball records, rarities, and sounds that resist easy categorization. Inspired by generations of adventurous DJs and selectors, the show treats digging as an art form and the unexpected find as the ultimate reward. Tune in every third Sunday of the month from 8 to 10pm.
SiLVA
A dance-forward mix that moves freely between house, disco, boogie, electronic music, global club sounds, and plenty in between. SiLVA’s sets are built for Saturday night, mixing new tracks, classics, edits, and deep cuts without getting boxed into one genre. The emphasis is on movement, surprise, and keeping the energy alive from one record to the next. Tune in to SiLVA Saturday evenings from 6 to 8pm.
Jason Bentley's Metropolis
Metropolis captures the hypnotic pulse of modern city life through electronic music built for movement, atmosphere, and late-night discovery. Jason Bentley connects current releases with foundational tracks, remixes, underground club sounds, and artists continually reshaping the possibilities of dance music. House, techno, electronic pop, and leftfield productions move together in a fluid weekly journey that reflects both the history and the evolving future of the dance floor. Sophisticated, immersive, and always looking ahead. Tune in to Metropolis Saturday nights from 8 to 10pm.
