Playlist 11 August
Sorry for being late but just a few thoughts on tonight鈥檚 menu, starting with the Mekon鈥檚 first single, which is said to have been a swipe at the Clash for having the nerve to write a song called 鈥淲hite Riot鈥 - unfortunately the Mekons aren鈥檛 as good as the Clash, but never mind, it鈥檚 always good to start a record (and a radio show) with 鈥1,2,3,4鈥.
Listening again to the Cortinas debut LP, it struck me that they were as much an English R&B band as a punk band. With a good record collection. Also good to remember David Johansen鈥檚 solo records, which kept some New York Dolls fans happy during those thirty years wilderness before his chums reformed.
