Episode 20

This episode was a mix based on classic alternative rock from the British underground scene of the 80s, specifically britpop, post-punk, dream pop, gothic and new wave adjacent bands that were overshadowed by countless others during the decade. Wanted to focus on a few lesser known bands and songs from this era to capture a particular mood as we head into October. Dark? Downbeat? Spooky? You can decide. You'll hear songs by The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, Cocteau Twins, Killing Joke, Siouxie and The Banshees, the Jesus and Mary Chain, The Chameleons, Clan of Xymox and Joy Division. Not much talking this week.
