The Rarer Bands of Post-Punk - Part 2 - 9/14/09

As Butch Cassidy once said to Colonel Sanders, "I am too drunk to taste this chicken." Or wait, it's "Who are these guys?" Maybe that was to The Sundance Kid. Or maybe he said the chicken thing to him. I honestly don't remember. Was that movie really that good? I don't remember that either. But that kind of factors into my show for this night. It was about the bands and artists we don't remember. Maybe the bands and artists we had never heard of. But a jam playing in the middle of nowhere is indeed a jam and I think the tracks below were all jams, even if forgotten ones.

Jazz Influence Show - 8/31/09

Yes, jazz. While not thought of as a post-punk influencer and rightly not thought of so, a fair amount of post-punk artists, at least at one point in their careers, decided to go a little jazz on us. And why not? It's cool, it's atmospheric and it's exempt from scrutiny. Hopefully this show was also those things too. Download it below and find out!
