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
downloaded from the archive at sonicoverload.blogspot.com. And check out the Facebook page.

JUNE 29, 2026
And here it
is… the annual Sonic Overload Salute To America. In recent years, I just did it
for part of the show but this year is different—the 250th anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of Independence so I decided to go all-out. I’ll
keep the pontificating to a minimum. I think the playlist speaks for itself. I
will say this—I went to Pride in Salem the other day. I’m not good at
estimating crowds but I’m sure there were at least a few thousand people there,
enjoying a beautiful day. It was diverse and welcoming and not just for LGBTQ+
people. Contrast that with the so-far failed country fair or whatever the fuck
Dear Leader is calling it. Trump basically stole the celebration from the
bipartisan 250 Commision, which was going to be much more inclusive, something
that’s an anathema to the MAGA crowd. Truth be told, I’m not big on celebrating
that much right now, given what’s happened but this just makes it worse.
So turn it up
nice and loud, especially if you’re doing a backyard BBQ or neighborhood block
party. I’ll probably be taking next week off and will return on July 13.
