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.

JUNE 17, 2019
It’s a year for musical milestones—this week, I pay
tribute to albums that have their 30th, 40th and 50th anniversaries this week—30
for Nirvana’s Bleach, 40 for Joy
Division’s Unknown Pleasures, The
Cramps’ Gravest Hits (which was
actually a compilation) and Dead Kennedys’ California
Uber Alles 7” and 50
for Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica. Of course, I was a little too young to have
appreciated the Beefheart album when it came out.
While I first heard the Captain in the early 70s when my cousin Jimmy loaned me
his copy of The Spotlight Kid, I didn’t
check Trout Mask out until much later
on—and I still find it a difficult album to get through. It’s certainly
influential—you can hear the groundwork it paved for more avant-garde and post-punk
bands. I’m sure the members of Pere Ubu spent a lot of time with that album.
One
more show and we’re halfway through 2019. I think I’ll stop thinking about that…
