Post Punk Peel Primer

This weeks show was a primer on the post-punk era (roughly 78-86 or so), my favorite period and style of music. The twist is that I only played Peel session versions - new recordings done in a short period of time, often better than the officially album version. John Peel is one of my idols, a long-time BBC DJ who never stopped searching for great new music.

Autumn

This week's show was dedicated to the oncoming season change - autumn! Every song had either 'September', 'Autumn' or 'Fall' in the title. I added a few tracks from forthcoming releases at the end - there's been an influx of great new music lately.
