sonic
overload
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.

In the past few weeks, the music world has lost a
couple of pioneering guitarists—Jeff Beck and Tom Verlaine. While they might
seem worlds apart musically, it’s interestiing to note that Beck was only about
7 years older than Verlaine. And I enjoy music by both. A few people posted
that they weren’t into Television, that they’re not punk enough. Someone said
he hated that “artsy-fartsy, post-punk shite” (I think that’s the direct
quote). That’s fine but this individual seems to be stuck in a rigid,
monochromatic punk universe and that’s just as disappointing as people who whine
about how there’s no new good music. As I always say, this show is an attempt
to rectify that. New and old, not always 100% awesome but I think I have a
pretty good slugging percentage here.
