“Punktronic Disco Dirge – Ep. 32! (Pirate Radio!!!)” - Selections by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

I can see the effects of the sun through my window. There is an odd BRIGHTNESS to the world, which produces both happiness and cancer! (The Universe is mad.) (But we shall have our revenge by being MADDER than the rest of the Cosmos! Ha!!!) So---as spring careens towards summer, it occurs to me that music could be useful in fulfilling that transformation! (I will write an entire post on the “USES” of music soon. This topic is bubbling and boiling in my brain…but now is the time for the listening, not the scripting of thoughts…)

Tally-HOOOOOO!

[Reading of the list!]

There we go! Blammed right through that set! Only eleven tracks this time, but a couple of them were pretty damn long! (Silver Apples and Drum Club were about 10 minutes each!) Hopefully, you enjoyed this journey from punk to postpunk to goth-metal to psychedelic synth to hip hop to drum and bass and on to trance…for a full dang ride…

Each of these tracks was played because I enjoy them and for education / appreciation purposes only. If you also enjoyed any of these cuts, feel free to drop a couple of bux buying a digital or physical copy! (I already own them all!!!) Musician have to eat! (Unless they’re no longer with us, in which case, their kids or grandkids might need to eat…) Support folks who make cool stuff!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
