KCRW Broadcast 73
This could very well be a great mistake but I am doing it anyway. A long time ago, one of the first shows Engineer X and I did when we got to Tha K was a concept show on Post Punk. I thought it was one of the best ones we ever did. I am thinking that there might be some of you Fanatics who never heard it and perhaps some of you that might enjoy hearing it again. So, that's what we're going to do. This is not a repeat of the previous broadcast in that we will be live, only the music will be the same. A repeat? Awww come on! I know. I just thought this one was a special show and I thought that the weather was perfect for it and so, late last night, that's the decision I made.

Finally, we are getting this broadcast out to you all! I have been working on this one for weeks. In fact, I was changing things all the way until last night. Many weeks ago, whilst reading Simon Reynolds' very good book on Post Punk, Rip It Up And Start Again, I thought I would do a show based around bands that were in the book and some that weren't. Besides the topic matter being interesting, Reynolds is a good writer and puts all this music in context. This is a very worthwhile read and the music holds up very well all these years later.
