    Fanatic! I just finished listening to all the tracks we have for you from start to finish. It’s the final test to make sure it’s good to go and it passed.

    Fanatic! I just finished listening to all the tracks we have for you from start to finish. It’s the final test to make sure it’s good to go and it passed.

    I just got a large brick of vinyl from Richie at Strangeworld in Melbourne and am getting into it now. I will get tracks from some of these bands onto next week’s show, which I’ll be starting work on almost immediately.

    Heidi just stomped into my office and said that Shepard Fairey has just confirmed for our September 3 show. He will be our live guest for the entire two hours. I just wrote him and we will start working on tracks. He has good taste in music and he’s a very interesting guy, it should be a great show.

    I am doing my best to get my August listens done. These are some records that go back on the shelf until at least April. Some of them are as follows:

    Devo – Duty Now For The Future

    VA - Vortex Live

    Wire – Chairs Missing

    Wire – 154

    Rites of Spring – Rites of Spring

    Cramps – Psychedelic Jungle

    Rain – La Vache Qui Rit

    Late period Coltrane

    Saints – (I’m) Stranded

    Birthday Party – Prayers On Fire

    I have it in my mind that these records are warm weather listens. It’s nothing but association, I know but still, I’m giving myself until August 31st to listen to them one more time this year.

    Next week is our last August show and we’re starting it with a new Oh Sees track, so get ready for that. We exit August and get into September with Shepard and of course, a lot of great music.

    If you’re going to live, you might as well play records and STAY FANATIC!!!
