Fanatic! I hope your holiday was safe and fun. I’m in Los Angeles at the moment. There’s a haze in the air that reminds me of the LA from many years ago when you couldn’t see down the street or many afternoons I’ve spent in Beijing. The weather report says the air quality is unhealthy. The heat is back.
Last night, the fireworks were nonstop past midnight.
My book, Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 1 is back in print.
The new Stroppies 12” is really good. I asked the label for some sound files so we can put the tracks on the show for you. I’m waiting to hear back.
The newest Omar Souleyman is good as well. I bought the record and asked the label twice for downloads but never heard back.
The Stooges Goose Lake LP is going to be a great one.
The new Damaged Bug album, Bug On Yonkers seems to be sold out on vinyl for now but you can check it out on download.
We have a great show lined for you here. Hopefully it helps finish off the weekend. Take good care of yourself and STAY FANATIC!!!
