Playlist 7 January 2010
Feeling refreshed after two weeks away, I sometimes think there's nothing better in the whole wide world than playing a punk rock classic that can survive copious over exposure. Exhibit 'A' is 'Gary Gilmore's Eyes' by The Adverts. Released only six months after his execution, it was a wonderful example of bad taste that would have phone in shows busy for weeks if released today.
