Random Old Records Podcast #92

Spring has sprung, and all I wanna do is listen to music! EPISODE #92 of Random Old Records continues the vintage punk rock thread of last episode, along with some jingle, some jangle and some plain ol' rock n' roll. Let's get into it!

This time around, you'll hear stone-cold classics from the Circle Jerks and Uniform Choice, underrated 90s pop-punk from Bum and the Bomb Bassets, a stack of boppers from the venerable Mutant Pop label by The Hissyfits, The Proms, and The Beautys, new stuff from The Spits and Gen Pop, plus a whole lot more! In between the tracks, you'll hear excerpts from the classic 1975 crime caper Las Vegas Lady, starring Stella Stevens. All in all, it's another episode I'm mighty proud of, so I hope everyone likes it!
