Fanatic! I hope your week was great. No, really! I know. Things have been kind of mind-blowing and draining as of late. This is one of the reasons we gather a bunch of music together every week to neutralize what came at us days before. Don’t look at the list just yet. We have, as you were warned last week about, a tremendous second hour with Joy D…
Fanatic! The weekend is here and so are we. The last few days . . . whoa. Not my kind of excitement but we have two great hours of music lined up and I think it’s a good soundtrack for staying in and staying safe. Next week in hour two. We will be listening to the Joy Division RCA Sessions, recorded at Arrow Studios in Manchester in May 1978. This …
Fanatic! Well, here we are, going into another year. I hope your holiday was good even if your options were somewhat limited. Even though it’s only been a week, it somehow feels longer, maybe because a year has ticked over. I don’t know where you’re listening from but as I remember when it’s the beginning of a new year here, there are some firework…
Fanatic! It’s 12-25-20, I’m in the office, listening to cassette #4 of the American Tapes AM 664 Full Scales Half Clothed Home-Truths six cassette box set. It’s a great one. Nowhere to go! It’s been super boring at times around here but it’s not like I don’t have a ton to do. None of it is all that exciting but it needs to get done. Yesterday was …
Fanatic. I hope you have been doing great since we last gathered to commune with the tunes. I’m trying to stay busy and get things ready for 2021. My 2022 tour is coming together and even though it’s a year away, I’m still excited about it. I wish it was starting this January. I hope things will be in a better place and I actually get to do the sho…
Fanatic! I hope you’ve been doing well and staying safe. I don’t know if you ever checked out our KCRW Berlin show but after 75 shows, that came to an end when the station shut down. If you ever checked the show out, thanks. We will rock the 2020 remix of The Man Who Sold The World in hour two of our 12-26-20 show. It’s pretty cool but I think I st…
Fanatic! I’ve emerged from a four day run of signing books. Heidi and I were unboxing, stacking, reboxing, etc. Damn I’m sore. Stay Fanatic!! Vol. 2 is here and we’ve been shipping orders since last Tuesday, so it’s not December 15, as we had stated. We were able to get it going on the day after the books were delivered. This is the place to find i…
This show was interesting to make. Now and then, it’s like I’m being led to the next song and the next one, etc. Unfortunately for my sanity, I really cook on making shows around 0230 hrs. I used this shift to make next week’s show and it worked well, although it kinda makes the next day a little unfocused for the first few hours. Oh, I did get the…
So often architecture is associated with high price custom homes and fancy institutional buildings.But many designers are also helping shape the city with pro bono work for nonprofits in less affluent neighborhoods. One in the news recently is the Campus For At-Risk Children in Watts being designed by Frank Gehry.And unveiled Saturday – with a cele…

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. Baugruppen, meaning building groups, are cohousing communities where you choose who you want to live alongside and then split the costs of d…

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…
