Fanatic! I hope you’re hanging in there. Things are typically strange in the USA at present. It’s always intense here but these days, whoa.
Here is an excerpt from my show notes for our USA broadcast from last week. I thought you might find some of it interesting and useful.
Heidi and I have put together a TV show, if you will. We call it the Henry and Heidi $1.99 Show. It’s basically a video version of our podcast. This allows us to show you some of the things we talk about. We thought that the visuals would make for better story telling. If you’re familiar with our podcast, it runs very much the same. We have different parts, the main one being a story, which we call Show and Tell. What’s cool about this way of doing it is that I know in advance what the topic is and I prepare. I assemble records, flyers, etc. Then, I roll out the story and show you stuff which we also put up on split screen, so you can get a better look at whatever I'm showing you. We hope the show does well enough to allow us to go to different locations and get some interesting footage. As with all things, there’s a learning curve. We’re finding out how much work it takes to edit and put a show together. It’s a lot! Here’s the link to the first one.
I got an email from a guy named Alex who suggested I check out a band called Bob Vylan. I went to their bandcamp page and listened. I thought they were great. The language they use, we would have to cut out and I think that would damage and insult the music so we’re not going to. I would recommend you give them a listen. https://bobvylan.bandcamp.com/music
Get ready get set for a new Cool Greenhouse track called Alexa. I think they’re putting it out in a couple of weeks. It’s great. I’ll let you know when it’s up.
The great Dion Lunadon has a new 7”!

Did you know that before Gun Club, Jeffrey Lee Pierce had a band called Red Lights? So great! Tapes have been found and a great EP of the music has just come out on In The Red.

Stay safe and STAY FANATIC!!!
