Fanatic! Happy Saturday to you. Finally, after months of waiting after months of work, literally years in the making, I can tell you about two records Larry Hardy and I have been working on. They were released yesterday. From the master tapes we have generated two 12”s. One is the three song session that informed the first Ruts record with In A Rut…

Fanatic! I hope the week was great. Engineer X and I have been working on the last of the November shows and are now pushing into December and beyond. Not that you would find this interesting but we were told my new book, Sic, was held up at the printer because they couldn’t get the correct paper stock. We just got a message that not only did they …

Fanatic. I hope you had a great week. I finished the shows for the year last Saturday night. I wish the dates went to the end of the year. Sorry about not posting the notes in time last week. The jet lag effect of being in Honolulu was not subtle. The shows were good but sleep was elusive. Since I’ve been back I’ve been listening to a lot of vinyl.…

Fanatic! I had a show in Honolulu on Saturday, was low on sleep and forgot to get them written up. Sorry about that. Here are the tracks we heard. Have a great week and STAY FANATIC!!! –– Henry

Fanatic. I hope you’ve been doing great and listening to a lot of music. I’m about to leave for the last three shows of the year, which will be in Honolulu. I’ll come back from that and get back to work on things at the office and get ready to sign copies of my new book Sic, which we will put on sale as soon as they return from the printer, hopeful…

Fanatic! I’ve been off the road for about a week now. I’d rather be out with a show waiting for me every night. The upside is I have access to my records and I’m trying to take advantage of that but I’d rather be on the bus with the pressure of a show. So into this record! New Hammered Hulls LP on Dischord, coming out at the end of the month. Here’…

Fanatic! I hope the month of months has been treating you well. I’ve been doing a lot of backstage listening sessions before I head out for the show. I’m off the road for a couple of weeks, so I’m looking forward to getting the record player going. Tonight, we have another bit of concept listening. If you see below, we’re checking out The Idiot, th…

Fanatic! I hope your October is going great. I’m 100+ shows into the year with a few left on this run. All’s well out here. In Northern California today. The Los Angeles shows were a lot of fun, thanks for coming. Kid Congo’s autobiography is a great read. So happy Kid took the time to write this. What a cool story. I got an advance on the new Deli…
