Random Old Records Podcast #87

2020, am I right?! The longest year in recorded human history is rolling on and on and so is Random Old Records. EPISODE #87 doesn't really have a theme or a point, other than containing 20 of the best songs I've heard in the past 30 days. So...let's dig in and let's get it on!

It all kicks off with a rare blast of horn-driven proto-punk from The Rats, then winds its way through classic garage rock and punk from The Pagans, Thee Headcoatees, The Customs, The Pandoras, and maybe even a couple bands that don't start with "The". Then, you'll hear vital new post-punk jams from Sweeping Promises, Lithics, and Naked Roommate, before the whole thing finishes up with a bone-chilling goth-country classic from Sammi Smith called "Saunders Ferry Lane". There's music for the head and music for the heart and music for the soul and music for the feet. Enjoy!
