Fanatic! Interesting new year! At the time of this writing, we’re only a few hours out from show time. Earlier today, I listened back to all the tracks for tonight’s show and I think we’ve got a good mix to start the year together. Right now, I’m listening to the tracks for next week’s show, which Engineer X and I put the final touches on yesterday. Engineer Am Rock has the tracks so she’s ready. And thus, 2024 goes lurching forward!
I’ve heard some music that will be coming out this year and while I’m not at liberty to disclose the details, I can say we’ve got some great listening to look forward to. It never seems to end! Wellllllllll…. It never seems to end because WE aren’t letting it end. The bands, the listeners—we’re all in this together. If the bands didn’t make all this great music we wouldn’t have anything to listen to but if the bands don’t have anyone listening, what’s the point?
Some cool bands to check out:
Thanks to our good pal and sonic ally in Melbourne, PBS FM Radio presenter Michael Mulholland, we’ve got two very sturdy suggestions.
River Of Snakes - Sleight Of Hand
Thanks Michael!
A band I started checking out a few days ago.
Let’s keep it happening no matter what!
Have a great week and STAY FANATIC!!!
