V/A - Shiny Grey Monotone Radio - Show 1

Label: n/a
Year: 2012

In America, it's Memorial Day. Where you are, I guess it could just be Monday...it's impossible to verify. But, in America, on Memorial Day, we freedom fighter patriots like to get together with our other free friends, and grill out some sort of foods, drink some domestic beers, and listen to rock n roll music while we talk about how awesome America is. It's pretty cool.
So, in that spirit, I wanted to give you a one hour cookout soundtrack that will surely impress your guests and ward off communism.

Way back when, we were doing an internet radio show under the same name as this blog, and so I would assemble an hour's worth of music to send off to be played each week. A cross section of the type of stuff we champion, and a mixtape of sorts, par excellence. Really excellent, actually. These mixes were painstakingly selected, sequenced, and loved. And not to toot my own horn, but...toot toot...them shits were fucking great. The radio show only lasted a few weeks, but I think I put together about 22 volumes worth of music, plus some bonus themed episodes (Washington D.C., powerviolence, Black Flag...and maybe Unwound?). Those have all disappeared off this blog years ago, and I for one, think it's a shame. So, fuck it, let's post them again, ok? This first show is particularly stacked...but they're all super fucking good.
