Link to the Show / Show NotesShow no. 20 - With the advent of original television programming going down the tubes, this is a perfect time to rediscover albums and music. This show's theme centers around Politi; the only original thing on TV besides sports so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We unearth a lot great old wax and ask the question how come new American music doesn't have any artists with a social edge or theme? (*with some exceptions) Featuring: The music of The Stranglers, Gang of Four, The Replacements* doing "kids don't follow", Dead Kennedy's*, Radio 4* with "Election Day", The Alarm playing "Marching On", "Life during war time" by the Talking Heads*(gotta dig that big ass white suit), "What ever happens" next by the Swell Maps ( i confused them with wipers during session), Shannon from the Cows breaks out the double horns with "Heave Ho" (whatever happened to them?) they were one of the best ny punk bands ever, Ted Leo and the pharmacist breakout "Bomb, Repeat, Bomb", Billy Bragg "Help save the youth of America" and end the set with a cover by Radiodread 's Raga stars doing "electioneering". Enjoy. ~djs
