A guest posting by sk
JC writes…….
It was back in December 2024 that sk, another of the regular readers, contributed his first guest posting. It was a superbly curated mix of sixteen tunes consisting entirely of performers who hadn’t featured previously on TVV….and I’m delighted to say that he’s back and that I’m able to offer up, for the second successive day, a posting from Germany.

Hello JC,
A little over a year ago, I had the opportunity to present a mix here featuring songs that hadn’t yet appeared on this blog, but which, in my opinion, should or could have. Since then, I’ve put such songs aside. Recently, I realized that I’d reached the critical mass for another mix. It’s mostly punk and post-punk from USA, but luckily there were also a few pop songs to round things out harmoniously. To check if a song has already been played on this blog, I use the excellent search function. With Terry, I’m relying on luck.
Since everything I know about the English language came from a special edition of Calvin & Hobbes that I once found in the recycling bin, I usually don’t pay much attention to the lyrics (You didn’t find that funny? Then you’re right. I once used it in a job interview, and they didn’t laugh either). Since all the songs come from trusted sources — I’m certain, for example, that Marie Davidson‘s song is from Khayem‘s blog, Dubhed — I assume that none of the lyrics offend anyone. At least not in a negative way.
If you’d like to release the mix, I suggest the title to be: “Chardonnay or should I go” (That’s a line from the PAL song)
mp3: Various – Chardonnay or Should I Go?
Operator Music Band – Bebop Radiohaus
Terry – Bureau
Lithics – Hands
Snooper – Worldwide
PAL – Live Laugh Wine
CLAMM – Something New
Osees – Funeral Solution
Alan Vega – Ghost Rider
Marie Davidson – Work It (Soulwax Remix)
Kool Moe Dee – I Go To Work (single edit)
Water From Your Eyes – Playing Classics
Hannah Cohen – Summer Sweat
Tennis – Runner
The Crystal Furs – California Misses You
Bernthøler – My Suitor
The Caravelles – Don’t Blow Your Cool
Enjoy
