KCRW Broadcast 750

Hand-Picked Music Post-punk / New Wave Experimental

Fanatic! We try to do this every August and to my recollection, I think we have for quite a few years. It’s our somewhat annual Case Of The Punks! show. Tonight’s entire show is dedicated to the music genre that shook the world!

Aug 20, 2023

Wow! That’s a lot of songs. I hope you not only get through them but have a great time doing it.

While I can’t give you details, I wanted to let you know that at the end of the month, there’s an album that will be announced that we’ll be playing every track from. The label sent it to me yesterday and it made my day to know it will out near the end of the year. It’s not for me to talk about a record before the label or band announces but I will say there will be a great excuse to go to the record store this year, as if there hasn’t been enough already. So many cool records in 2023! This will be yet one more. Stoked doesn’t even begin to describe me about this one.

Did you pick up on this 3LP by Les Rallizes Dénudés?

Apparently, the vinyl is on its way to those who preordered and the digital was unleashed yesterday. Sounds great what I’ve been able to listen to so far. Can’t wait for the vinyl. There have been a lot of Les Rallizes Dénudés releases over the last several months. It’s about time Takashi Mizutani and his bandmates got more visibility.

I’ve got tour dates starting next month.

For this batch of shows, we’ve printed two books. The first is a run of my new book Sic. The cover is slightly different than the previous one and will be exclusive to the tour. We also printed a tour edition of a book I published in the last century called Solipsist. This edition has a few less typos and a cover also exclusive to the tour. I just finished signing all of them.

It looks like California is in for some weather. Los Angeles isn’t built for heavy rainfall. I hope the state makes it through.

Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!
