Fanatic! I know we have a long way to go but I’m done with winter! Mainly, I find the cold to be boring. Winter: I’m glad I brought a book. At least there’s a lot of music to listen to! I’m looking forward to my shows in Europe starting. There will be a solid month of cold weather, early darkness and chilly backstage areas where I’m going. I think …
Fanatic! I hope your weekend has gotten off to a great start. I’ve been getting some good listening in, a lot of 7” records. I have a turntable and some small but sturdy speakers at my desk, so I’ve been checking out a lot of records. 7”s tend to pile up, it’s like mowing the lawn but it’s records. I don’t know you’re a fan but have you seen all th…

Fanatic! Here we are, the last show of the year. I’m glad the powers that be are allowing our show to happen rather than what went down last week. Thank you for checking out my new book Sic.

Fanatic! As I’m writing to you, I’m listening to assorted Scott Walker tracks. That’s an interesting artist. We’re coming up on the “holiday season” and all its attendant issues. I got word from one of my bosses from the 7th Floor in the HPC (Human Potential and Control) Division at KCRW there would be no show on 12-24-22 and I was ordered to crack…
Fanatic! I hope you had a great week. We’ve got a great show lined up for you tonight. I have a lot of tour dates next year, so I’m working on radio shows in advance. I’m doing radio duty literally every day. This isn’t new for me and I must say, I really like having our show on my mind so often. It’s not a burn out at all, if anything, I think it …

Fanatic! I hope you had a great week. I’ve been on a lot of highways and in a lot of airports getting things done. I saw the great Nashville band Snooper play several nights ago. The show I saw apparently will be released as a limited cassette. Their records are great and live they were awesome. I suggest you check them out at the soonest. Here’s t…
