I’ve long had a wish to finish one of these things off with that Beastie Boys clip. It gives it a running time of one second over the hour.
THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
Thanks for the great mix. And special thanks for Beauty is Truth, which sounds a bit like Newspeak from Orwell’s 1984. Even though I live in Germany and have the same name as one of the two current Propaganda members, I didn’t know that Brücken and Freytag are still active. Hard to believe, is it?
If you asked me which song in the mix I think is the best or most important, I would choose Beat the Clock. Since the song was introduced at the July 1979 Shakedown (The excellent search function reveals that it wasn’t the first time), I have probably heard it more than 100 times. In the kitchen, in the car, on the bike, everywhere. [sk]
