Punk’s not dead, right? I don’t know why you would even say that. What are you, some kinda square? See you at the mall, grandpa!

Anyhow, whether or not punk’s dead* is a topic for another day. Today, we’ll be enjoying some examples of its illustrious history, selected at whim & at random. The show begins with a couple of laid-backish type numbers, then we roll right into it without a break until pretty close to the end. Top-to-tail classics, folks; if you heard it here first, you’re welcome! All from the original vinyl, as usual. Record-collector snobbery isn’t dead, either, apparently.

& yes, in case you’re wondering—looks like we’re back in business, over here. So tomorrow’s show should be up in your grill by midweek, as usual…! Hard to believe. The bitrate for this one is 156, not the usual 192, but I’m hoping to fix that tomorrow night; in the meantime, try to enjoy this stuff despite the dip in aural quality. (Oh, also, start playing at 1:35 if you want to skip the overlap; usually I don’t make a big deal out of it, but it’s a little jarring/lengthy this week.)

Thanks for all the inquiries & encouragement—you people are the best. Really, the best.

* I doubt it, but I haven’t checked with “the kids” lately. They’re all playing their Skrillex too loud to hear me, anyway.
