A mix of tracks about drink, drugs, the availability of handguns, the threat of conventional & nuclear war, industrial & city decline and racism. It sounds depressing, but it really is a good listen, and at 132mb great for your mp3 player or phone.

THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
Waiting For The Man, Shipbuilding , Ghost Town and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised are stone cold classics. Maybe Heartland by The The too? Sure it’s didactic, but it’s amazing! 🤩
Great mix! Velvets ftw.
The second day in a row that might confuse the regular listeners of this blog. What is JC up t😉?
I once made a vow to listen to everything featured here. Quite often, this leads to wonderful surprises. That didn’t happen today, but many of the songs are much better than I remember them being.
Thanks
That’s a damned good list. A damned good list
