It's been days and the mail keeps coming in from all over the world. The verdict is in and you Fanatics dug our Frank Zappa show immensely! Thank you for all the ecstatic mail. It's always great to hear from you of course. Perhaps one of the best validations we have ever gotten on our little show came last week in the form of two letters from two different members of the Zappa family, thanking us for our Frank tribute. Nice. Also, a bit of a relief that our well meant show was not taken in the wrong way...

Now tonight, we have a great mix of tunes. I promised you that we would get into that new version of Kill City and we waste no time doing it. I hope that some of you have checked out this new mix, it's fantastic. I am several plays into the thing and am digging it.
It's all our house jams until we get to track thirteen. I just got a large box of jams from Jack White. He has a cool label called Third Man. I have done quite a bit of listening to the jams and there is some real good stuff. Tonight we listen to some Jack solo, it's a good one.
I got the ok from Marisa who gave me the new Deerhoof record weeks ago to play this track for you. They are letting the tracks out one at a time until the end of the year. A really great track on the album called I Did Crime For You is not ready to be turned loose yet but as soon as it is, I will play it. Overall, the record is excellent and we will get well into it next year, something to look forward to.
I hope you dig the Cobalt track. It's from a not so easy to find 4CD set that Teen Beat put out a long time ago called Wakefield. I have seen it only twice. It could be that the Teenbeat site has this song for download, I don't know. Great song. Staying in the Teenbeat mode, you know how much we dig that label on this show. I go to the site often to check out if there's anything new. Great happiness! A new hollAnd EP for download. Sounds great. http://www.teenbeatrecords.com/ for more information.
Wait until you hear tonight's Toumast track, it's sublime. We are playing another FZ track tonight, a hair of the dog idea there. It's been awhile since we played anything by the excellent Erase Eratta, what a band. If you have never checked them out, great stuff.
Finally, we get into the Dylan mono box. My favorite track from my favorite Dylan album, Blonde On Blonde, Visions of Johanna. What a song and SO great in mono.
The proof is right in front of you, Fanatic. It's a great show and we are going to have a great time laying it on you so tune in if you can.
As the man once said, "To each his reach and if I can't cop, it ain't mine to have but I'll be reachin' for ya. . ."
This Saturday evening, each for your radio's dial, tune it 89.9 KCRW, crank it up and STAY FANATIC!!!

Live on KCRW
Live on KCRW is KCRW’s performance series featuring artists recorded live at our Santa Monica studios. From emerging acts to established voices, the series offers artists a space to present their music in an intimate setting that puts the focus on performance, sound, and personality.
Morning Becomes Eclectic
KCRW’s signature music program and the heart of its eclectic sound, Morning Becomes Eclectic brings together new discoveries, timeless recordings, live performances, and conversations with artists shaping music today. Hosted by Novena Carmel, the show moves freely across genres, eras, and borders with curiosity as its compass, creating unexpected connections between the familiar and the unknown. For nearly five decades, MBE has made discovery part of the daily ritual while keeping its ears firmly tuned to what comes next. Tune in on weekdays from 9am to noon.
Peanut Butter Wolf
Peanut Butter Wolf goes deep into a lifetime of collecting, pulling from more than 50,000 records alongside a digital archive packed with unreleased music and overlooked discoveries. The founder of Stones Throw Records favors the underdog, moving through hip-hop, funk, soul, electronic music, oddball records, rarities, and sounds that resist easy categorization. Inspired by generations of adventurous DJs and selectors, the show treats digging as an art form and the unexpected find as the ultimate reward. Tune in every third Sunday of the month from 8 to 10pm.
SiLVA
A dance-forward mix that moves freely between house, disco, boogie, electronic music, global club sounds, and plenty in between. SiLVA’s sets are built for Saturday night, mixing new tracks, classics, edits, and deep cuts without getting boxed into one genre. The emphasis is on movement, surprise, and keeping the energy alive from one record to the next. Tune in to SiLVA Saturday evenings from 6 to 8pm.
Jason Bentley's Metropolis
Metropolis captures the hypnotic pulse of modern city life through electronic music built for movement, atmosphere, and late-night discovery. Jason Bentley connects current releases with foundational tracks, remixes, underground club sounds, and artists continually reshaping the possibilities of dance music. House, techno, electronic pop, and leftfield productions move together in a fluid weekly journey that reflects both the history and the evolving future of the dance floor. Sophisticated, immersive, and always looking ahead. Tune in to Metropolis Saturday nights from 8 to 10pm.
