Strange rantings and ravings this week, as I complain about many things. Then, suddenly, like a bolt from the blue comes a rather coherent and deeply-thoughtful analysis as to why oi / streepunk never took off as a genre. Bizarre things happen in the basement, y’know?
Next week’s show is shaping up to be a rather more mellow take on tunes, with a heaping helping of twang. I don’t recall the last roots / country podcast we did, so that must mean it’s high time to do so. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope you are, as well.
