Fanatic! I hope you had a spectacular week filled with music and healthy levels of hydration. Extremely hot where I am. I’ve been doing a thing I’ve come to look forward to. At the end of every day, no matter how much time I’ve spent in the gym or how many hours I’ve been awake, I walk for a minimum of an hour. No music, just my thoughts. Last night, I went for 71 minutes and barely felt it. I put a fairly good dent in the boxes of 7”records and got in some great listening.

Fanatic, tonight we will be listening to our annual Case Of The Punks broadcast. I always look forward to this one. I think summer is the perfect time for all of the tracks we’re playing tonight. All of these bands have stories and their catalogs are definitely worth checking out. Some of the bands like the Machines, are not as easy to locate records of as a band like the Damned. Hopefully, there’s some tracks you might not have heard before or haven’t heard in a long time and your curiosity gets fired up.
We’re already working on our shows for early September. As far as time goes, I’m not looking for things to go quickly as I try to get the most out of every day and by remaining active, or at least committed to something workwise, I can make the most of the time. I will say that I’m looking forward to a break from this heat. It’s going to be roasting where I live for at least a week.
Fanatic, please look at these upcoming events below, and if you’re nearby, come on by. More to announce soon.
Upcoming:
Sunday, August 23 2 PM at the Skirball Cultural Center, I will be interviewing James Spooner.

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.
