2009 Part 1: Orphans

This play-list is the first of 4 parts to the 2009 mix. It's songs that, while still sweet, just didn't quite have a home on the three real mixes. Also note: there were a few songs not included on this list (though I really wanted to!) that I first came to appreciate after hearing other people's '09 mixes. But it felt like cheating, so I didn't. Either way:

Day 36: Pre-1980s Punk

This week's genre tour was a little tough to define. I wanted to do a strictly Roots Punk list coming off the heels of The Clash list. But the genre definitions within the punk movement are shady at best. So I decided that I'd limit the list to songs released before 1980. This sort of narrows down what's fair game. On one hand there are Protopunk bands that set the ground rules for punk (The Stooges, The Modern Lovers, Velvet Underground), more straight-up Punk acts (Dead Boys, Ramones, Sex Pistols), alongside the first wave of Post-Punk bands like Gang of Four. Overall the list is just a collection of some of my favorite songs from this era. The attitude, message and relentlessness of the music encapsulated the movement. Enjoi Oi Oi!

02. Patti Smith - Pumping (My Heart)
03. New York Dolls - Personality Crisis
