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

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021
And
the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks has
passed… I saw some memes where people said they wish it could be 9/12 again,
because we were all united—no Democrats or Republicans, just Americans. That,
of course, largely didn’t apply to Muslims and other dark-skinned people. It
didn’t apply to anyone who dared to question or protest the hyper-patriotism
and extreme nationalism that followed. A few have draw
a direct line from what happened after 9/11 to the January 6 attacks on the US
Capitol by right wing extremists. In some ways, it’s just the culmination of
what’s happened over those past 20 years.
But
I won’t dwell on it—as always, this show is dedicated to the memory of Jane Simpkin, who died that day… it’s also dedicated to Adam
Wilson, a longtime supporter of this show, as well as a DJ on Old FX Punk Radio
and Stench Radio. He’s also published two books about LA punk gangs, which he
belonged to from the early 80s to early 90s. RIP, Adam…
