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.
All of the shows from January 2009 to
the present are archived for download at sonicoverload.blogspot.com.
And check out the Facebook
page.

Pete
Shelley, one of the founding members of Buzzcocks, died of a heart attack last
week at the age of 63. I was absolutely floored by the news, as was just about
everyone else I know with even a passing interest in the type of music that’s
been a part of my life for over 40 years. I first heard them in early 1978,
with the “What Do I Get” single. From there it the “Love You More” single and Singles Going Steady album and thus
started a lifelong love affair with this band. So, of course, this week’s show
goes out in his memory and I play some of my favorite ‘Cocks tracks from over
the years. Rest In Peace, Pete…
