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.
I’m proud to announce that there’s now
a live version of Sonic Overload every Wednesday from 6-8 PM Eastern time on Stench Radio.
All of the shows from January 2009 to
the present are archived for download at sonicoverload.blogspot.com.
And check out the Facebook page.

MARCH 10, 2014—14th ANNIVERSARY SHOW
I’ll
keep this kind of brief because the show is quite the opposite—2 hours, 39
minutes and change. The longest show I did was 2 hours and 54 minutes and that
was for the Best of the ‘00s show in early 2010.
This
time, each segment features music from different decades—well, the first covers
2000-2013, the second covers the 1990s, the third covers the 1980s and I wrap
up with the 1970s, which features a few decidedly non-punk songs. This isn’t
meant to be a definitive best-of but, rather, a survey of bands and records
that have stuck with me over the years. I did make one mistake—the No Justice
7” came out in 2000, not in 1999 like I said. It would have been played in
either segment, anyway.
Thanks
go out, as always, to Steve Provizer, who founded
Allston-Brighton Free Radio in 2000 and gave me the opportunity to impose my
musical taste on the listening public. I’d also like to thank Steven “Stig Stench” Wagers for bringing me aboard his Stench Radio
station almost a year ago. My first anniversary show there will be next month.
Thanks to the administrators of the Sonic Overload Facebook
page--Carrie, Jim and Mike. One of the other administrators, Chris Maguire,
passed away last year. May he rest in peace.
And
last and certainly not least—thanks to my loyal listeners and to my wife Ellen
for all of her support and patience over the years...
