RADIO BROADCAST #602
10-10–20
Fanatic! What just happened?! Here we are, together as always, now at a new time. One of my bosses and I were kicking this idea around weeks ago and thought this might be cool.
I know you are probably very used to the Sunday night slot and that Saturday nights at 2200 hrs. might have you any place BUT near the radio. I get that totally. However, the chance to be on Saturday instead of Sunday, was too hard to pass up. If Saturday night isn’t working for you, perhaps you can check it out at a later date. I’m sorry if this is move is too much. I’ve always felt that we were more of a Friday or Saturday night show.
We will be revving things up a bit to resume our previous Saturday night metabolism. Engineer X informed me that we have a couple of instances of slight clipping on some of the show. Enthusiasm!
Also, having Jason “The Jaysonic” Bentley in the opening slot from 8-10, we can’t lose! I’ve never felt closer to the J-Man than I do now! Years in the making and now we’re in perfect alignment. I can see him now, reaching for the vodka putting a cold cloth on his head.
Fanatic, may I ask a Fanatic favor of you? If you get a chance, can you listen to Station To Station by David Bowie a few times over the next few weeks? We will be listening to the 2010 Maslin remix of the album in November and I want you familiarized with the original so all the changes made on the remix will be more apparent. I’m thinking 11-14-20, so I’m giving you all kinds of time. I’ll remind you again.
Also, this is great, a cool video by the great David Johansen of the New York Dolls.

Heidi and I were in a room with him in NYC at the beginning of the year. David, Iggy and Debbie Harry all in one space. It was almost too much to process. He’s an exceedingly cool and charismatic guy.
WOW!!! Dept.: Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 2 is at the printer. That was single most time intensive project our little company ever did. We made our deadline and we should see books soon.
Fanatic, I know that you are well beyond your limit on so many things. It’s been months of a really bad and tough learning curve. I know that at best, some days are better than others. I know that you might feel hesitant to complain as you know full well that everyone everywhere is going through something. I know. I also know that you’re smart, scientifically inclined and you know that all the safety protocols are for the best. I haven’t been to a record store since I forget when. All my shows and travel for this year got canceled. I am making adjustments and trying to figure out a way forward just as you are. None of this is easy. Hang in there as best you can.
Fanatic WE are the Mighty Three
Fanatic WE are the Superstars of NPR
And Fanatic
WE are the Saturday Night Titans!!!
Fanatic, please prepare and if possible, tune in at our new time and STAY FANATIC!!!
