Welcome to the webpage for Sonic
Overload. As my regular listeners know by now, I play punk, hardcore, garage
and other loud music, although there are surprises from time to time as well as
decidedly slanted commentary on the “issues of the day” and that’s also
presented through song selections and audio clips.
Recent shows can be downloaded from the
archive at sonicoverload.blogspot.com. And check out the Facebook page.

Yes,
I play Bowie, the Beatles and Beach Boys on this week’s show—in the same set,
in fact. It’s 50 years since “Ziggy
Stardust” came out and both Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson turned 80 last
week. All of those songs have been influential to punk. The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” has been covered by a number of bands, including Siouxsie and the Banshees. Some of the Ramones’ pop
sensibilities came from the Beach Boys (and that’s a rough-sounding mono
version I play) and many early punks cited Bowie, Roxy and T.Rex
among their favorites. As I always say, good music is timeless, no matter the
genre or when it came out.
