Fanatic! I think the holiday season means different things to different people. I didn’t see any humans today and the weather was unseasonably warm, so it was more of an overcast September atmosphere. Some of my neighbors light their houses up. It looks like a lot of work. There is a car I’ve seen twice in the last few days that was wrapped in Christmas lights. The car was white, and the lights were multicolor and at night it looked really cool. The first time I saw the car, It was ahead of me turning onto the highway and the second time I saw it, the occupant was getting out to go into the gym as I was getting into my car. I wish I could’ve gotten a photo.
I can’t possibly know if you have any days away from your usual tasks as we march towards the end of the year, but if you do, I hope you get some good listening in. I’ve been checking out the Velvet Underground reissue box set, a lot of Stooges, David Bowie and tracks for our upcoming shows. Engineer X and I are a little over halfway done with our first show for next year. I think it’s going to be a great one.
I believe I mentioned last week or the week before, there are some really great records coming out next year, a few of them. I’ve been lucky enough to receive in advance. Others, I’ll have to wait for, but they will arrive eventually. I think we’re going to have some great listening coming up.
Fanatic, we finish another year of music appreciation together. On behalf of myself, Engineer, X and Engineer Am-Rock, thank you so much for tuning in. We hope we’ve put together shows that have been interesting and worth your while. We are going to do our Fanatic best to maintain this level of sonic good times into next year.
Until then, enjoy the holiday and STAY FANATIC!!!
