    Fanatic! A fall in-name-only 87F where I am currently. You can’t have it all. At least the nights are good.

    This is proving to be a very good read. A very cool book on The Fall.

    You Must Get Them All by Steve Pringle.

    Fanatic, we have for you tonight, what I hope you will find to be a good time October mix tape. It’s our first show in the month of months.

    I’m trying to get a lot of music played every night. During the day, I’ve been making notes on what to play, something I don’t think I’ve done before on a regular basis. It’s proving to be effective, especially remembering to keep up with playing 7” records. I find they’re easy to get but also easy to let them accumulate and sit unplayed. It’s a lot of getting up and sitting back down again but it’s a good thing to do. I’ve always liked the 7” record ritual, there’s so much activity necessary, if you’re in the right mood, it’s the coolest.

    The other two and myself are already at work putting together next week’s show, that has a very cool conceptual first hour I hope you’ll like.

    We hope you enjoy tonight’s show and make time to get a lot of music listened to this month. I’ve got The Black Album, Unknown Pleasures and Discreet Music lined up for later tonight.

    Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!
