Fanatic! It’s April 5 and I am still recovering from the greatness of Alex Cameron’s show last night in Highland Park. The man is amazing. Later in the year, I think we should serialize Jumping the Shark one more time. So cool hearing some of those songs live. Mid week shows are hard but Alex and his band were worth it.
You know that record Larry from In the Red and I are releasing for Record Store Day, the one I tell you about but won’t tell you what it is? It’s back from the pressing plant and I think I will be seeing copies soon. I am writing up the notes for it and will post them soon. Can’t wait to see this one.
If at all possible, I want you to try to tune in for next week’s show as we will be live in the studio with our very special Guest Seymour Stein. Mr. Stein started working in the record industry when he was a teenager. He’s in his mid-seventies now and has seen a lot. He’s got stories for days. He started some label called Sire. He signed the Ramones, the Talking Heads, Madonna, the Dead Boys to name but a few.
Weeks ago, his daughter Mandy contacted me and asked if we would be interested in having her dad on the show and of course, that was a yes. I was on the phone with the man yesterday and he was great. Go online and check out some of his interviews. He’s been in the business of records all his life and his enthusiasm for music is only growing. He’s a perfect guest for us. So, be ready for stories, music and a very unique show. I asked him if there was anything I could bring to the studio for him and he said, “Espresso!” Oh, hell yes.
Let’s see, the week after, we will have another guest. I think his name is Ian MacKaye. Apparently, he has made some records. We will see what he has to say for himself on the twenty-third.
So, we have the below tracks for you for this coming Sunday, then there’s Seymour Stein and Ian MacKaye the week after that and we have Record Store Day to look forward to. I would say that in spite of what’s happening in the world, there are some good things happening too.
We hope you dig the show and get ready for Seymour Stein!
Keep jamming and STAY FANATIC!!!
