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 streamed or

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025
24 years
since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In some ways, it just seems like so long ago
but it’s still a day that ripped my heart out. That was the day my friend Jane
Simpkin was taken from us at the age of 36. And it was the day where things
really started to go south in this country—mindless jingoism and bigotry,
warmongering and an erosion of civil liberties that continues unabated to this
day. It was always there, of course, but it validated people to say the quiet
stuff out loud. And, if anything, it’s become a LOT worse in recent months. I
don’t even know what the answers are anymore. And I can’t be obsessed with it
24/7 and read every single meme about the horrors of Dear Leader. I’ll tell you
this much—don’t be delusional. He’s not going ANYWHERE, at least for the
forseeable future.
This week’s
show features a bonus segment where I pay tribute to Bruce Loose from Flipper,
who passed away last week.
