Tonight’s show has a little media influence at the top. The Thin Lizzy track is dedicated to Dick Cheney, John Yoo, Donald Rumsfeld, Jay Bybee and all those good times! The few songs after the fine Lizzy track is in celebration of new relationship with Cuba. I know some people don’t want to deal with the fact that the Cold War is over but I think it’s about time to move forward.
I started work on this show in a bar/café I would haunt nightly several days ago in Tbilisi Georgia called the Acid Bar. I finished the rest of it when I dragged my bones into the office soon after getting off the plane from Istanbul.
We continue out line of thought from last year with a healthy serving of Australian music, which I just got another stack of, so get ready for that.
It is pretty much the end of the “holiday season” and I hope that if it was your want, that you had some time to check out some tunes.

I wouldn’t dare tell you what to do, Fanatic but you might find it useful to keep track of the records you listen to. I find it to be handy to keep me on track with expanding my listening. The lists are great to come back to a year later and see how you have changed, or not as the case may be.
It is 12-31-14. I will be out on the streets for a little longer and then back to the pad for an all vinyl jam out to bring in the new year.
I was asked by Esquire Mag to make one of those lists. I usually try to wriggle out of these things because I can’t do them half way. I get loose from it once but got ensnared weeks later. Here it is, if you want to check it out: http://www.esquire.com/_mobile/blogs/culture/henry-rollins-top-10-underground-songs
We hope you dig what we have set up for our first 2015 show. I have gotten a lot of new records over the last few weeks, so next week should be pretty cool, please tune in if you can.
Listen well 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.
