Fanatic! November is upon us! I hope you enjoyed our October programming. The view out my window is clouds and overcast skies against the modern skyline of Manila, Philippines. I’ve been here for a few days, walking around, checking things out, sweating.

Fanatic, I have to be honest. I have played the tracks of this show through at least three times because it was so enjoyable. Some of our bestest November tracks are here! I decided to put some of my favorites into this one. Wire’s Midnight Bahnhof Café is easily in my top five Wire songs. Sometimes, I listen to it a couple of times. On early band tours in Germany, Chris Haskett and I used to hang out in the local train stations and people watch. I got quite into it.
I hope you had a great October and got a lot listened to. I worked on Fanatic! Vol. 5 every single day. I Vol. 5? What?! Vol. 04 is done. I’m editing that one now. Edit V4 by day, write V5 by night. I went big on October and ended up with almost forty thousand words. I know! No life.
Fanatic, it’s all right in front of you, twenty-five fantastic tracks. Next week’s show is already finished and it’s a great one.
Oh! Slim Gaillard’s son Mark wrote me yesterday, thanking us for playing his father’s amazing music. Maximum Vout!
It’s so not November around here
Get to the vinyl and STAY FANATIC!!!
