For this week's show I've dug back into my favorite period in music, punk and post-punk, looking for nuggets from bands that released only one single, hard-to-find gems from established bands and other earworthy tracks! As a bonus, the high-quality stream was back up so the show is complete and sounds great!

9-13-2011 Show
This week's show has new stuff from HTRK, Punches, and Bat For Lashes and old stuff from pre-punk Illuminati Scott Walker, Kevin Ayers, and David Bowie and everything in between! Unfortunately, the station's streaming didn't come online until halfway through the show so you're bereft of my commentary for the first hour. Weep for your lost knowledge! OK, the highlights were:
- HTRK is a young band from Australia, formerly known as Hate Rock Trio.
- S.T.U.N. stands for Scream Towards the Uprising of Non-Conformity. That track is a leftover from my Wire covers show.
- The Summer Hits song is an ode to Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier.
- I've recently succumbed to the charms of Kevin Ayers. It took a couple of years and revisitations but his baritone and odd prop/pop vibe has won me over. The track here is a collaboration with Nico. I've long neglected the pre-punk first half of the 70s and I'm looking forward to digging in deeper to that era.
- Punches is a collaboration between an instrumentalist in New Zealand and a vocalist in Tennessee.
- I cannot tell you how much I love Scott Walker these days. He's been a revelation of the highest order, and no one else has had the career he's had - from teen idol as big as the Beatles in the 60s UK to a complete outsider making albums unlike anyone else.
- I saw The English Beat at Johnny D's the other night (well, half as Dave Wakeling heads it up sans Ranking Roger) and they were fantastic, playing all their best material.
