Fanatic! Hey. I hope your week was great. I’ve been really busy with a lot of things. We’re working every day on the next volume of Stay Fanatic!!! and that’s going well. Those books are very time consuming. I’ve been getting some cool new records to put into the mix and I think we’re going to have a great summer of listening. A new band featuring …
 
Fanatic! I hope your week was good. I spent it staring at computers, proofreading and editing. Not exactly exciting but it’s work that has to get done. I also did a lot of work on our radio show. Next week’s show is almost done and it’s sounding good. To save you a little time, here’s some Bandcamp addresses for some of the new releases. Kaputt 7" …
 
Fanatic! Good to be back with you. I hope your week was safe and productive. We have, yet again put together a show that you will hopefully find to your liking. The new Flat Worms 7” is really great. It was the very dedicated and hard working LA based taper extraordinaire Gerhard Lippert who told me to drop what I was doing and listen to this band.…
 
Fanatic! I don’t know what the calendar says and I don’t particularly care. As far as I’m concerned, May is the start of summer. May, June, July, August, those are the months of summer. It’s early Saturday morning, around 0042 hrs. I’ve just shut down the system for the night. I checked out the new Alan Vega album Mutator tonight. It’s good. We hav…
 
Fanatic! I hope your week was good and that you got a copy of the new Dinosaur Jr. album Sweep It Into Space. Mine hasn’t arrived yet. I have two tracks that the press people have sent me but that’s it so far. Looking forward to hearing the whole thing. I’ve been working away on book stuff, which isn’t all that interesting as it’s the same thing ev…
 
Fanatic! I hope you had a great week. I’ve been busy on my end with extremely unexciting work but it will hopefully lead to something good. I think I warned you a bit over the last two weeks about the second hour of the show. We have for you a great live Fall show, recently released as a LP + 7” set called The Fall - Live at St. Helens Technical Co…
 
Fanatic! Happy weekend to you. I hope the last few days have been great. We have yet again, put together a tremendous set of tunes for what will hopefully be your great enjoyment. We start with the lilting tones of Acris Gryllus Dorsalis, a more perfect way to commence I can’t think of. From there, it’s a nonstop joyride. And, there’s some cool vin…
 
Fanatic! I hope the week was good. The place I pre ordered the Fall reissues of The Infotainment Scan and Middle Class Revolt just sent me an email telling me that the records will be delayed for a couple of weeks. It’s hard to be patient. I really want to hear these. Fanatic, we have a great show lined up for you. I know that where you might be li…

Berliners are facing many of the same challenges as Angelenos in terms of affordable living space, as well as coming to grips with changing family structure; but, they have come up with an intriguing solution.

Huntington Beach approved a reusable bag ordinance last month. Channel 2 reports, while many agree with the goal to cut down on the 123 thousand tons of discarded plastic bags in the state every year, a lot of residents in HB are hot under the collar that the ban wasn’t put on the ballot. They say if the city is worried about the beaches, they shou…
