“Post Apocalypse Radio – 01” by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

I don’t know why I keep making “radio shows,” aside from the fact that I love music (and I have at least two friends who are marginally entertained by these things! [Two is plenty! THREE, if you count me…and I do!]) So here we are, another radio thing…

This one is being billed (by me…passive voice just seems to fit the mood better than active right now) as “the alternative to the alternative.” (See the “COVER IMAGE” for this episode for details…) What I mean by this is that I’m going to play whatever I want. Ready for that?

Post Apocalypse Radio – 01!
Approx… 31 minutes!

[New intro “song” made by me with a toy piano, a mic, and Audacity]
---Devo – “Through Being Cool” from New Traditionalists (1981)
---Silicon Teens – “You Really Got Me” from Music for Parties (1980)
---Silver Apples – “Mustang Sally” from The Garden (1998)
---The Olivia Tremor Control – “I’m Not Feeling Human (Peel Session)” from John Peel Session 18.3.97 (2000)
---Jean-Michel Jarre & Gary Numan – “Here for You” from Electronica 2: The Heart of Noise (2016)
---The Chemical Brothers – “The Darkness That You Fear (The Blessed Madonna Remix)” from The Darkness That You Fear (The Blessed Madonna Remix) single (2021)
---Nina Hagen – “TV Snooze” from Fearless (1983)
---Buzzcocks – “I Don’t Mind” from Singles Going Steady (1979)
[A quick note from the selector… Then silence…]

This was fun! I think the 30 minute format might be more my speed than a full hour (which is what the Puntronic show tended to run.) Get in, play some tunes, get out! DONE!

Thanks for stopping by!
