To celebrate the fact that I am in Germany for a few days, I thought we should listen to some German music, bands playing in Germany and people singing about Germany.

Fanatics! Another week, another chance to check out some great music. It’s the best possible deal. In celebration of the fact that I am in Germany for the next few days at the Wacken Festival, I thought we should listen to some German music, bands playing in Germany and people singing about Germany.
I think the only band on here we have not enjoyed before would be Die Tödliche Doris. I don’t have much of their stuff, some murky live cassettes from the 80’s and a couple of compilation cuts. So far, what I’ve heard sounds cool though.
I hope you enjoyed last week’s show. A lot of new stuff in that one. If you did not get a chance to check it out, hopefully you will catch up to it on archive at some point.
We will be back at it with all yall live next week.
Until then, enjoy the heat wave 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.
