Hey folkarinos, this is your old pal Stinky Wizzle-Teets… (Sorry.

She’s picked most of today’s tunes, and her tastes run towards the ALTERNATIVE! Hopefully, there’s a cut or two in this batch that you’ll enjoy! If not, there’s always NEXT TIME!!!

This here playlist got kinda weird. I’m not saying I’m sorry because I LOVE all of these songs. For the casual listener, there might be a few “pop” type moments in here (honestly, the punk track by Chemical People is probably the easiest listening in this whole list), but after that, it goes pretty crazy. Firewater is post-grunge alternative rock, Glitch Mob’s takedown of White Stripes is awesome, but might not appeal to fans of either band; I threw an early Skate World classic in there, plus some techno/housy stuff… And towards the end, it just goes off the rails completely in a glorious disaster of sounds and rhythms. Personally, this might be one of my favorite playlists so far… (That should be a warning to most of my regular listeners…)

Thanks for stopping by! If you enjoyed any of these tracks, I encourage you to seek out a physical or digital copy and purchasing it for yourself. Not only will you get to keep it if the streaming service you usually listen to goes out of bizniz, but the performer (if they’re still alive) will get a larger chunk of the cash. The tracks chosen for this listen where picked because I love them and shared here for educational / appreciation purposes only! KEEP THE MUSIC ALIVE!
