Host of SwaG!, Bat Guano, has canceled all appearances, appointments, concerts and broadcasts for the coming week. The reason given by his manager is “emotional exhaustion.”
In last week’s SwaG! Mr. Guano plays a full gamut of music, from Napalm Death to Tom Jones, Roland Kirk to Herb Alpert. There may be clues in his style of radio programing pointing to his state of mind. Or not…. This is about a three-hour radio program recording that you can get here.

… here we have facile rhyming voiced faux-Robin Zander stylee, dubbed over 21st century hit-soundtrack chord jamming, featuring by-the-numbers instro soloing between the verses…
… OK, time to see who’s taking over for the Bat…
Rat Guano?
